HOWTOMAKEAREMIX

(May 2001)
Persil have made their first remix. It's part of the Howtoplays/Jack remix project and is fully built up from audio & lyric samples. Persil's contribution to the project is (..was?) available on www.jackprojects.nl (and while you're there, don't forget to take a look at the animation by Mumbleboy!) A number of remixes, including the one by Persil, were presented in Amsterdam's Paradiso on May 25th.
 

HOMETAPING IS ILLEGAL

(May 2001)
Although the previous sampler was released less than a year ago, LVR has already produced its follow-up Hometaping is illegal (and it's killing music!). The new cd, with contributions from no less than 20 different Dutch bands, is in the shops now!

TTS

(November 2000)
Table Tennis Superstar was released with Devil in the Woods Magazine in the USA in November 2000, on a vinyl single with Grandaddy and Beachwood Sparks. The magazine contains an interview with Persil as well, in which David admits he loves talking about his undies and Martine tells you about Persil's Peel session.

PEEL SESSION

(April 2000)
BBC Radio 1 invited Persil to record a Peel Session in February 2000. The session was broadcast on April 12th and consisted of the following four tracks: Agony Aunt (recorded with a genuine Hammond organ instead of Persil's usual toy stuff), Snakes & Ladders, Happy and a very loud version of Thirty-three (to get rid of the synthpop image).

John Peel: Excellent stuff throughout!
