MARCH 2003
The new album "Evil Live" is finally out on Klanggalerie. It comprises 75 minutes of previously unpublished live material recorded over the last ten years. All music was put directly onto analogue equipment so don´t compare its sound quality to standard studio recordings. Classics in new format include "Hurts So Good", "Kandyman" and "Tic Tac Toe", most other tracks have never been published in studio versions. Re-mastered by ex-member Mark Crumby, this CD-R is again limited to 50 numbered copies.

FEBRUARY 2003
Good news for all you Konstruktivist fans: 2003 will be a more active year for the band again! First, Evil Live the album will be out this March - details can be watched on the Klanggalerie page. Again, this will have one of the special CD cases that the label have used for AGM, PNG and Black December.

Then, Glenn Wallis has formed a new band called Dark Odyssey. It´s a kind of art concept, as the quartet are planning to do a book and CD. The theme for this is how a man sees all women in their archetypal form - as dark goddess, maiden, temptress, virgin, vamp etc. The sound is gothic prog rock and Glenn describes it as "early Genesis meets Neu!". If you´re in the UK, watch out for live dates as they will perform in Wymondham, East Anglia this summer.

Another unreleased album, "The Seventh Soviet Symphony" is being re-edited by Konstruktivist. It will be out later this year on Klanggalerie, as well as the first of the cassette-only releases from the early Eighties. "Offbeat Optimism" is another rhythmic album that should also see the light of day later in 2003.

DECEMBER 2002

MARCH 1998
Quite a bit of news this time.

Firstly, "Persona Non-Grata" is available now - you can order it from us direct. It will also be available soon from a select number of other mail-order outlets. See soon for details of official suppliers.

Two new Konstuktivists tracks appear on two new compilations. Strangely both these compilation contain tracks lasting 30 seconds. "Four Years In 30 Seconds" was released by Dirter Promotions late least year on 10" which sold immediately. It has just been reissued on CD with bonus material. Get in touch if you want one - it will sell out soon.

The other compilation, released by Noisebox Records, is a blue vinyl 7" featuring 33.3 bands. The Konstruktivist track is called "L.S.D."

We have forged close links with Syntactic, the Austrian label known for its limited releases. All future Konstruktivist CD's will be co-released with this label. The first of these projects will be the CD version of "Last Moments Of 1923"

Syntactic will soon be releasing a compilation 7" featuring us together with Asmus Tietchens, The Haters, Thirdorgan, Paroxodon and Pita (Mego Records).

The history page will soon have an update with more information and background to where Konstruktivist is coming from.

OCTOBER 1997
Major overhaul of the site. I hated the look of the last site - so decided to totally change its appearance. I hope you agree it looks much better!

On the news front "A Dissembly" is finally available once again. Digitally remastered with 3 extra tracks it beats the living hell out of the old vinyl version.

The first new Konstruktivist studio album since "Forbidden" is completed. "Persona Non-Grata" is a mix of dance/techno styles and the dark electronic strangeness you come to expect from us. Out on our own Interior Records label, and initally only available from us direct. If another label is interested in releasing it - get in touch.

Konstruktivists recently participated in the recording of the second album by the psychedelic/prog band Future Primitive. Musically about as far as you can get from Konstruktivists.

Look out for "The Last Moments of 1923" re-issue after xmas.

JUNE 1997
In March/April Konstruktivists travelled to Austria for a short tour organized by Walter Robotka of Syntactic Records.

Over 10 days we played 3 shows:

31.03.97 - with Tony Wakeford at X.S. in Vienna

2.04.97 - at the electric lounge in Vienna

4.4.97 - Sollenau

In addition we were interviewed for an Austrian music magazine and were guests on 'The Swamp', the premier alternative music programme on Austrian National Radio, where we were interviewed and played a live 25 minute set - to around 50,000 listeners.

It was great to meet to meet some of our friends in the flesh at last, and enjoyed meeting people who had travelled from Hungary and Czech to see us in Vienna - We hope to be back there later in the year!!!!! 
 

NOVEMBER 1996
Konstruktivists have recently played fours shows, two sets in Terneuzen, Holland in July. One in London with Academy 23, and a disasterous gig in Norfolk at the end of october.

The N.K.V.D. solo single has been pencilled in for release in early 1997. Strictly limited to 100 copies.

We have made a number of changes to our studio equipment.. After many years of 'going against the grain' of using hardware sequencers, we have upgraded and now have the use of Cubase, as well as a brand new Akai S2000 sampler. This equipment will be used for remixing and reworking Konstruktivists material for a CD of remixes planned for 1997.

JULY 1996
Konstruktivists return to Terneuzen in Holland in June to play the "No Limits-No Borders" music and art festival ogranised by Hahamandad.

A new 7" single "Confrontation (Parts 1-2)" has been recorded and will be released when we can persuade someone to do it!

Recent cassette releases:-

"Kracked At The Konservatory" on EE tapes from Belgium. 
"Konservenmusik" on Music&Elsewhere (UK)

Future releases include a cassette on Newcastle's MUZAMUZA label and we will also have a track on their forthcoming LP /CD compilation package.

N.K.V.D. will have his first solo single released soon on Austrian label Syntactic. As with the "Sweet Sex Subliminal" single - it will be pressed in ridiculously low quantities!
