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), Drat (Belfast), Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies (Fierce Panda / Oxford) – we’ve also begun to include the next batch of Mancunian frontline hopefuls.
Now confirmed is the Electric Circus Residency up at the
Castle in

MEGARIDER
The
Megarider battlebus travels alongside Performance on a journey to crown
“.
.drum beats and throbbing bass lines, sliced with effects, often seemingly
straight out of the BBC’s Radiophonic workshop. Snappy female - pure
and cut and pasted into the driving transistorised maelstrom….thrives off
minimalism as much as it does loud noises and a heavyweight thrust... as
fluffy as a couple of razorblades hidden in a feather pillow

THE
“…Grinding,
often instrumental led offerings from the same new school of The Longcut – The
Forests output contains barking vocals
and repetitive, mesmerising guitar loops...the very essence of new wave and
alt.rock - a vision of prog’ as could be played by the Gang
Of Four through Marshall stacks - every riff, whilst capable of overturning
cars, is stunningly captivating. Like a rabbit in headlights - caught in the
beat – locked into the churning sound of the engine..then...bang – you’re out”
POLITBURO
The Fly : “Politburo deliver 21st century glittered, gutter level punk with an IQ. Cut with consciously dark-tinged shades of midnight hour rock and roll, and explosive Detroit ‘75 spontaneity, Politburo offer up a mass of thumping primal bass transmissions, the guitar delicately picking out distorted riffs in a kind of way that may well distil the ragged glory of Joy Division, with the anthemic lust of The Dead Kennedys …” -now spliced with electro backing and pulsating anthems, Politburo are Manchester’s newest, bravest and possibly best prog-punk songwriters.
