Project Adorno's Top Ten Of Popular Culture

Project Adorno have a busy summer ahead with performances at Buxton, Preston & Edinburgh Fringe festivals...

We're going to groove with Krishnan Guru-Murthy, jive with JonSnow

'Modern life is rubbish', said Blur. But is it all bad? Join electronic beat-poets Project Adorno for a quirky countdown of the least annoying facets of contemporary culture. From avatars to zeitgeists (via the M25, dinosaurs and Paxman) this is pure pop for now-and-then people, Cohen-meets-Kraftwerk stylee. 

Loosely based on the Government publication "Social Trends",  this is an electro-pop show about vital statistics. Featuring songs, poems, videos and graphs. A skewed celebration of contemporary culture for the list-loving generation or a wordy, nerdy, countdown of all things pop. You decide. 

‘Like the FT being sung by Soft Cell’ Culture-Deluxe Magazine.

In Record


Project Adorno have almost completed recording their new audio CD. 
Tentatively titled "Shine Bright on Thursdays" it features material from their 
last two Edinburgh Fringe shows. Expect a London-centric theme with a few satirical songs and poems about office life thrown in for good measure. 



Previous CDs are available for sale

 

 

 Project Adorno now on Twitter

That's right. Project Adorno finally embrace the modern world (although we were amongst the first of our peers to get a website!)

Find us at the following address (our Twitter "Handle" as we believe it's called): http://twitter.com/ProjectAdorno

We now also apparently have our own You Tube "channel". Not quite sure how that happened! There's been some recent activity there:
