Red Flag Signs To Sigsaly Transmissions

January 22nd.,2009 (Austin, Texas):
Sigsaly Transmissions is happy to announce the signing Red Flag. Red Flag is currently working on a new full-length CD to be released worldwide late spring 2009.

In 1989 Red Flag released “Naïve Art”. Several singles from the album charted highly on the US Billboard “Hot Dance Music/Club Play” charts, such as “Russian Radio” (#11) and “If I Ever” (#12). Red Flag went on to appear on American Bandstand, and the video for “Russian Radio” was played by MTV’s 120 Minutes. Notable producers who worked on Naïve Art include Paul Robb of synthpop band Information Society and Joseph Watt of remix service Razormaid. Naïve Art remains the only full album Razormaid ever produced.

Red Flag toured frequently, playing at first as opening act to New Wave and synth-pop artists such as Devo, Thomas Dolby, Book of Love and Real Life.

After the death of Mark Reynolds in 2003 Red Flag was in a brief limbo, until Chris Reynolds re-launched Red Flag in 2007 with a darker, harder and more edgy sound than ever before but still retains the bands heritage in sound.

Sigsaly Transmissions is a US based label catering the Electronic-Industrial music scene. The label has made news with the Machines Against Hunger benefit compilation and more recently, with the label Placing 12th in the “Top Labels of 2008″ by the German Alternative Charts (DAC Charts).

“A Very Exciting Weekend”

This past weekend Autodafeh had two gigs in Sweden. But these two were special, they got to open for the EBM masters themselves, Front 242! Below is what ADF had to say about the weekend in their blog. And see the free MP3 link!

We’ve had a very exciting weekend.

On Friday we went to Gothenburg to Trägårn to play support for Front 242 and on Saturday we went to Malmö and had the opportunity to  open for them again.

They put on a great show!

Strangely though their airline managed to lose one of their suitcases (again) and their drummer was left without a pad! Luckily we had one he could use

Our gigs went really well and the audience was great and we’ve never played for such a large crowed. GBG had about 750 people and KB had about 800 (we think). A great experience.

This was our set list :

1 – Anger And Hate
2 – Crash And burn
3 – One Man
4 – No Names
5 – Stompers
6 – Mother Green
7 – Souls Of Destruction
8 – Bodycount
9 – Fuel Of Fire
