A Live video of an improvised High School Clicks performance at Burro Bar in Jacksonville, Florida, for Jacksonville Art & Noise Society #11. Filmed by Keaton Orsborn.

Originally set up to be an Electric Teeth show, a change of events turned the evening into a HSC performance. There were a few kinks in the MIDI sequencers that left a few of the triggers taking a mind of their own, but it wouldn’t be a live performance if there wasn’t something messing up.

ND-012- High School Clicks - Student BodyYet another 2011 live improvised set from High School Clicks recorded directly from the mixer. This shorter set started with the idea to create some minimal house for the kids to zone out and enjoy. As the boys become more and more comfortable with their solely hardware based set, you can tell that their voice is becoming more and more distinct.The majority of this 30+ minute mix is centered around the minimal feel, but by the end the real wankery starts. Some might say it is a skewed take on world beat IDM, others might just call it fucktard bullshit, but the ending is at least worth one listen to form an opinion for yourself.As more and more of these sets are being recorded, you can only imagine that they will continue to get better and tighter until you won’t be able to tell that they are off the cuff experiments or created without the aid of any software programs.Click the link below of the album cover to stream the set or right click to save as.ND-012- High School Clicks - Student Body (2011) http://sickmode.org/tmp/high%20school%20clicks%20-%20student%20body.mp3

ND-011- High School Clicks - Gentlemen, Dim Your Machines2011 Live improvised performance recorded directly from the mixer (of the best sound). High School Clicks, the combo of Robad Pills and Louie Applesauce are caught playing live at a House Party in the sweltering heat of Jacksonville Beach in this recent recording.The boys, armed with their favorite equipment came with only a BPM in mind and set to work to create the perfect atmosphere to keep the feet moving and the party grooving. In my continuing pursuit to attempting to show that not all improvised music has to sound like a muddy mess, allow me to present to you “Gentlemen, Dim Your Machines” by High School Clicks.Click the Photo or the link to stream.

ND008 - Louie Applesauce Presents “Dick Rave & the Candy Beads”2009 DJ Mix from Louie Applesauce, half of Hot Mess/High School Clicks/Muscle Boys. This particular mix is pretty sloppy compared to some of the other ones that would come out in the months that shortly followed, but either due to the name or some hidden charm to the proceedings, this was a frequently highly downloaded mix from the old Neon Doom Website.So here it is again, in all of its glory. It originally had a short run of 10 CDRs with handmade mixed media covers, those have long since been given away. So now all that is left is to click the link and stream this collection of cuts.You can download the track (one long track) by left clicking the link at the bottom and saving as. Otherwise you can just click the link and (most) browsers will allow you to just stream as it loads into your temp folder.ND008 - Louie Applesauce Presents ” Dick Rave & the Candy Beads” (2009)http://www.sickmode.org/hot-mess/LouieAppleSauce%20-%20Dick%20Rave%20(high).mp3
