MAY 2004 – THE CASTLE OLDHAM

Entry £2 Before
10.30pm (£3 After) with free entry to late licenced Castle Rock Club
ManchesterMusic.Co.Uk’s next generation of events follows up CHAIRSMISSING with its next installments of firebrand rock, visiting bands and deliberate genre bending.
The Electric Circus features a mish mash of art, electronica, different cities and headshrinking sounds, but all with one common theme – cutting edge excitement…featuring key up and coming out of towners (out of country) acts such as Econoline (Seriously Groovy label / London) and Part Chimp ( Rock Action / London), Broadzilla (USA), Seed (Leeds), Tarzan Stripes ( Germany), Ormondroyd (Sheffield) – we’ve also begun to include the next batch of Mancunian frontline hopefuls and managed a nine act alt.acoustic lineup at TEC#9 last Mayday weekend at The Roadhouse. . .it truly was a Jools Holland moment..
Things are building up at The Castle – we’ve seen capacity crowds sample a play back of The Sonar Yens album, plus the heady delights of Nine Black Alps - yes – we even made a legion of A&R people brave the streets of Oldham..
BANDS
PALO ALTO
“Angular
and powerful, yet beautifully topped with the everstrong female vocal. There’s a
hint of MBV, but I think there’s more. Dream up the Cocteau’s giddy heights,
with buzzsawing early Radiohead and the Verve. Imagine the Sundays, if they
rocked. Palo Alto have taken all these great 80/90s references and made them
their own” - MMusic

PIONEERS
“ Pioneers
sounds a bit like your granny could whistle to it while hanging out your grandfather’s
underwear! …deep glorious drive into the world of modern Mancunian guitars,
…futuristic, …like a modern-day collaboration between Massive Attack and UNKLE,
…infectious…” CITY LIFE

DRAT !
“The Irish
Sea is notorious for its high winds, stormy seas and irradiated
mackerel… Despite this, Drat left Belfast and swam for England in February
2004...this kind of bravery should not go unnoticed. These young men equipped
themselves with a caseload of melodies, lyrics, instruments, and a cat named
turtle before journeying to a hilltop in the epicenter of rural England…”
