1) Adrian (Age 22, Aquarius) pushes his romantic, aesthetic and political agendas to the sounds of cute majorchordal breakbeats, tiny melodic cut-ups and anemic blastbeats.


2) Think of the songs of pagans filtered through mid-90s Euro dancepop - asinine handclap bullshit paired with obligatory fandom-centric shoutouts (mainly Twin Peaks and Neighbours).


3) Singer/Songwrecker! One Truth! One Remedy! Talkshow Boy is a highbrow ploy to get "cash" and "chicks" thru wordplayability. Samples found from the internet underground tweaked 'til they peak beyond recognisability.


4) Ostensibly Australia's "best" (!?) pop genius - nothing but topnotch beatpop quality!? This shit has to be seen to be believed, man.



5) Talkshow Boy is the musical pseudonym of bedroom-buttonpusher
Adrian K-Sahara (AKA Adrian Trajstman). His music is frantic and romantic -
ridiculously hyperactive, glitchy avant-pop full of urgency.


Inspired as a youngster by the do-it-yourself ethics and cutesy imagery of
bands like Bis, Cub and Tuscadero, Talkshow Boy began writing one-minute
guitar ditties based around topics such as current crushes, kittens, samurais
and cold weather. After discovering experimental electronic music, the guitar
numbers slowly reduced and Talkshow Boy's bedroom yelping started to be
accompanied by a frenetic and slap-dash orchestra of blips and stutters.


He has self-released the cassette & CD 41-song platter of "Perestroika Love", in early 2003, a wide-ranging set of short, frenetic tracks with recurring themes of Ukraine, monks, spiders & revenge, spanning recording periods that almost qualify it as a career retrospective. He followed this with the more cohesive, also self released CDEP "Blood-Sexy", a darker but still excited affair about vampires, cinematography & kleptomania, seeing the increase of slight hip-hop touches to the enormous head-shaped cauldron that composites Talkshow Boy's music. Next, Pocketclock released the "Ice Police" CD single, a slap-happy electro number as danceable as it is infectious -- very. The a-side, "Ice Police" is fundamentally about the split between hot and cold during the warmer months of summer -- more specifically it is about kissing an icy-mouthed girl on a hot day, whereas the b-side, "Blood Squad" is an embrace of the 'ruby fuel that powers our every move' and a rejection of the fear of it. Reviewers equally loved it, calling it "brilliantly daft janglepop for anyone who ever went over to their friends' house to play with their brand new Yamaha/Casio keyboard in about 1987, then went mental with the presets while pissing themselves with laughter on the floor while someone deadpanned nonsense like 'I was the polar bear/You were the Eskimo' until you couldn't even remember why you were laughing so much before rolling away to play Mega Man." (Clem Bastow, Inpress) and loathed it, "So rinky-dink, twee and just plain stupid that it makes The Wiggles singing 'Hot potato, hot potato' sound like Schubert by comparison." (Neala, Beat).  The promotional, free-for-download "Ice Police Rmxz" album soon followed on Pocketclock with the title track being re-jigged by likeminded electro-boffins such as Pompey, Schizoid, Gltch Btch, Proboscis Lounge, Blackbauble, Sienmilki, Vinylvandal, Waffles and Goosedaemon. You can download the Ice Police remixes here.


Talkshow Boy also remixed The Emergency's single We Got The Horror. He'd remix you! I'd know because I am he! Why is this in the third person!? Plenty more remixes in the works.

Talkshow Boy also plays in Service Station Youth (aka. Nervous Nation Youth) - a scream-pop/digital hardcore band, and played in The Undead Against You, a horror punk electro-surf duo with Lisa of Kickface infamy.

Pretty much every single Talkshow Boy song, and release, including the new album "Watch As I Perform My Own Tracheotomy" is available for 100% FREE DOWNLOAD HERE AT MY WEBSITE because I'm sick of people charging money for music when they don't have to. Idiot capitalists.
