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…
Continuing our
residency at The Castle in Oldham, we’ve thrown our unconditional support to
one of the last of Greater Manchester’s permanent satellite live venues. Throw
in a £200k refurb, a 10kw rig and one of Manchester’s best sound engineers and
you have the regions newest, purpose designed 200 capacity venue.
The venue has
enjoyed 10 years as Oldhams premier LIVE MUSIC VENUE. The Castle of Old was the
birthplace of the Inspiral Carpets, and witnessed early performances from
Oasis, The Stone Roses & erm Northside !!
More recently the venue has seen shows from The Fall, The Chameleons,
Puressence, Kasabian, Cash Money, JJ72 plus crazy Rockstar DJ sets from New
Order, Clint Boon, Shaun Ryder, The Smiths, and Tim Burgess.
FAST LADY
Webpage:
A sexed up Soft Cell, all cabaret
pastiche and antagonistic, angsty vox mangled into 70's cock rock and fuzzy
guitar riffs - "Is this
the real life? Or is this just fantasy?" harked words transcribed by the
late great Freddie Mercury. His emotion drenched in reverb and operatic in it's
execution. How could he have known then that aside from the hedonistic pleasure
trove that was the seventies that in the next century we would remiss those
words and regret that we were not his friend or crusted bed toy. Fast Lady have
just released their debut album on V/VM Test Records.
Muzik
Magazine : “Neo poodle perm rock from Fast Lady (who sound like they were
cloned from the Def Leppard drummer’s missing arm!)”
Uncut Magazine :
“…The worlds, finest exponents of "machine rock": classic sounding
metal songs performed with the aid of a laptop in place of a drummer, lending
this debut a curdled, unsettling quality”

Former Bynatone / Robot Arm brains, Rachel
(aka Dot Matrix) now steers Bruno.After their debut performace at punk fulled
CABARET ESP in February, BRUNO have been in the studio working on their forth
coming EP 'Chewing Diamonds', a 4 track electroglam cocktail to set
Manchester's electro kids on fire (hopefully). Bruno have been likened to
Sparks, New Order, Stereolab and .... HAWKWIND!!!.. A healthy combination and a
lot to live up too, but Bruno are happy and say that progrock is the way forward!
This summer Bruno feature as the supporting band for Kitty Yo's Sex in Dallas.
TVH-3
Contact:
Largely coming from Hull and having located in Manchester some years ago, we’ve tracked the lineage of The Virus House to this latest, bastard, fire breathing incarnation.. TVH-3 are an altogether mightier force. “Full of muscle bound sequencing and distorted production values…TVH-3 are a lively adrenalised mess of classic Sheffield electronica and the pulsating post punk, embryonic goth of the first transistorised synths. Definitely a source for your black suit outfitted dancefloor boot boy anthems….
DOORS:
9.00 until late
£2 - Door (£3 After 10.30pm)
