THU 24 JULY, THE CROSS KINGS, 126 YORK WAY, LONDON 8pm £5
THE RADIOACTIVE ENSEMBLE This event is a rare chance to see a meeting of New Zealand and UK sound artists in one night. It will be an adventurous mix of electro-acoustic, improvisation, found sound and noise. Nigel Wright has been creating audio for over 8 years and is known for his spacious, expansive sound pieces. Dense layers of tonal drones adumbrate the field recordings, guitar, and tape loops that Wright uses as source material for his laptop-based live performances. This performance is part of his European tour. http://www.myspace.com/nigelwright Julien Ottavi is part of a generation of audio artists to emerge in the 90s that indicated some of the directions that music and sound art is taking. While at art school, he organized a series of concerts, bringing international artists from the experimental scene to Nantes, drawing touring musicians to movements happening outside of Paris. This became not just a destination but a nexus for collaborations. http://www.noiser.org/ Ben Spiers is a Member of: Empty Mirror (w/ Karl Willis); Seen Through (w/ Antony Milton); Glory Fckn Sun (w/ Antony Milton & Simon O'Rorke); Black Window (w/ Andrew Weeks). "Solitary notes dropped into a gloom of taut scraping" http://www.myspace.com/transientrecordings Peter Wright - London resident and New Zealand native Peter Wright maps the same guitar/noise outlands as his NZ predecessors The Dead C, an acknowledged influence, first blazed through. His kit is an electric 12-string, pedals and, when recording, a laptop. He improvises a digital drone or melody fragment, the loops, layers and adds field recordings. Since 1998, he has released 30 discs of solo material, much of it honing the same massive, blissful drift of decay and evolution. This is Peter's last U.K show before returning to New Zealand. http://www.myspace.com/distantbombs The Radioactive Ensemble is an international collaborative art and music project. We have members in the U.K, Italy, U.S.A, Germany, France, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand. Founded by Rick Jensen the Ensemble explores various collaborative sound art experiments. www.myspace.com/theradioactiveensemble. |

Unfortunately not, due to a) a very stressful time at work (having to stay at the office stupidly late) and b) "recovering" from a night out with sarramkrop . My mate John and his girlfriend told me all about it at our mate's wedding on Friday, and it does sound like it was pretty awesome. I'm glad that you had yerself a great time there, though.

Sounds top-drawer, TINH. I saw Part Chimp supporting Pelican 18 months ago, and thought they were pretty damn good. Oxbow always kill live too.

This could be good (from the Upset The Rhythm site):
NISENNENMONDAI BEARDS PLEASE Monday 28 July The Luminaire 311 Kilburn High Road, Kilburn, NW6 7JR | Map 8:00 | £8 | Buy tickets NISENNENMONDAI are one of our most favourite bands! Imagine an insane birthday party with Sun City Girls, Keiji Haino and Mika Miko all invited, things are gonna go volcanic, and that's where Nisennenmondai come in! Of all the noisy girl groups of Kansai, Tokyo, Nisennenmondai - their name translates as 'Year 2000 problem', a reference to the millenial computer bug - honestly! - are at once the most intense and hypnotic band to run out of the scene. Himeno Sayaka (drums), Zaikawa Yuri (bass) and Takada Masako (guitar) met, of all places, at the same after school music club at university in Tokyo and quickly jumped into band formation, self-releasing two EPs with short shrift before touring Japan alongside the likes of Death Sentence: Panda!, OOIOO, Lightning Bolt, Hella, Oshiri Penpenz, and Afrirampo. Their pulsing rhythm section and metallic overtoned guitar sound something like a heathen and tranced-out amalgamation of Boredoms, Neu!, Ruins and Leopard Leg - apt comparisons considering their group ensemble ethic and circular pattern performance setup. www.nisennenmondai.com | www.myspace.com/nisennenmondai BEARDS are three outstanding beasts of nature who find Leeds their habitat. The Dickosaurous, The Clairedactil and The Kathodocus come on stage dressed in cloaked day-glo majesty, rip it up and swap instruments with delight. Born of the herky-jerky party sound, Beards tread ever onwards with motorik abandon, expect jittery wonk pop, shrieking vocalisations and guitar jab par excellence. www.myspace.com/beards2000 PLEASE are Keebie (Cleckhuddersfax, Poltergroom), Michael and Rowland from London. Delectable offerings of riff and boogie in divine freakbeat equilibrium. Elements of the freakbeat sound include strong, direct drum beats, loud and frenzied guitar riffs, and extreme effects such as fuzztone, flanging, distortion and compression or phasing. Progressive Eastern scales tweaking through pomp rock anthems provide immediacy amongst short swathes of psychedelia. www.myspace.com/pleees

So I went to this. It was excellent, musically. Some very interesting acts. However the smallest crowd of any gig I have ever been too. There were about 10-15 people there, a large proportion of which I beleive were the artists. Pretty sad really. |

Booked my ticket to this this evening:
Tricky + Wild Beasts + Skream A Domino Records Crystal Anniversary Event 6 October 2008 / 20:00 Barbican Hall Part of A Domino Records Crystal Anniversary Part of Autumn Contemporary Events 08 Tickets: £15 / 20 / 25 subject to availability Rediscovering his Bristolian roots on his latest album Knowle West Boy (Domino Records) the original Tricky Kid returns to play his first London show in over five years. Knowle West Boy sees Tricky explore the musical influences of his childhood shaping and filtering them into the here and now. The resultant mix redefines his current status as an outsider superstar and the outsider’s homeboy. Culturally, Tricky bridges white and black Britain, particularly in his fusion of rock and hip hop, high art and pop culture. His debut album Maxinquaye was nominated for the Mercury Prize and voted Album of the Year by NME Magazine. ‘He's an enigma capable of moments of utter genius’ NME Wild Beasts hail from Cumbria and are known for an unusual instrumental sound led by distinctive falsetto vocals, as explored on their debut album Limbo, Panto – ‘There are hints of early Roxy Music, Sparks and second world war military bands, all conspiring to make them probably the most original new band in Britain’ – The Guardian. Key dubstep producer Skream, responsible for some of the genre’s classic cuts, such as 2005’s Midnight Request Line, exemplifies the style’s intoxicating blend of strangeness and rhythmic drive. |
