THURSDAY 10th JUNE 2004

YOUTH MOVIE SOUNDTRACK STRATEGIES, GLASS, THE FLOW, PERMISSIVE SOCIETY

 

Entry £4 (£3 Adv)

 

ManchesterMusic.Co.Uk’s next generation of events follows up CHAIRSMISSING with its next instalments 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…

 

This episode sees us at last entertain Fierce Panda’s YOUTH MOVIE SOUNDTRACK STRATEGIES. This is part of their UK tour (which includes full support to Hope Of The States for dates either side of Manchester). This is the face of the new Oxford, post-core movement – plenty’s been written about them – you won’t be disappointed.

 

YOUTH MOVIE SOUNDTRACK STRATEGIES

Webpage:

http://www.ymss.org.uk/

 

”A phenomenal seven-minute experience gracefully snaking its way through hazy guitar lines, raging screams, heavy-riffing climaxes and feedback…”

“Blasts of cathartic noise mingle menacingly with brooding soundscapes, disturbing spoken-word samples rest uneasily on a sharp, technicolour canopy of feedback, drone and nerve-chilling atmospherics. This is both intelligent and cathartic, spooky and calming, and serves as a potent reminder that instrumental music can be defiantly the most moving of all.”

-KERRANG!

 

“…take on a whole array of future-looking avant luminaries and spin it into something remarkably eclectic from echoing, beaty space-rock, to undanceable mathematical time-signatures and then into volatile, skin peeling hardcore – usually in the same tune… one of the finest moments of ITC.”
-MANCHESTERMUSIC.CO.UK – ITC 03



“… from Tortoise-style post rock to Trail Of Dead screeching. In the same song. Dark, intense, scary. The songs are long and diverse. It needs to be heard with the volume LOUD. “

“Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies will splatter your brains and soothe your soul.”
-DROWNED IN SOUND

 

GLASS

fiendishly capable howls soar with the best of them but there’s something there’s just that little bit out of the ordinary with the live Kraftwerk rhythms, unnerving jangles and creeping bass lines”

 

 

 

THE PERMISSIVE SOCIETY

 

Webpage:

www.thepermissivesociety.co.uk  

perfect rattle-along, stop-start alt. indie, with angular bass lines and rasping guitars. The vocals on "amsterdammed" could take someone's head off, if not the singer's first. The cut-throat shouting, which owes as much to death metal as it does to a birthday party era nick cave, amplifies an already winning formula.
dangerously different and impossible to miss"

-CITY:LIFE

 

 

THE FLOW

 

“Epic rock music which got lost down the back of Jimmy Page’s sofa in the early eighties.. Big sounds of a single ethereal guitar swathed in useful effects, backed by a seriously thumping rhythm section is backed with preacher man vocals and angst fuelled anthems which swell like a stormy ocean..”
