ManchesterMusic.Co.Uk’s next generation of events follows up CHAIRSMISSING with its next instalments of firebrand rock. The Electric Circus will soon feature a mish mash of art, electronica, different cities and headshrinking sounds, but all with one common theme – cutting edge excitement…October see’s two Peel session favourites plus two up-coming up-rising acts :

The baton is passed to TRANSELEMENT, whose razorwire melodies and epic slices of churning / disjointed post rock have to be the future. PART CHIMP live at Mogwai’s Rock Action label, receive heady praise from Careless Talk’ and don’t seem to be ever off Peels turntable.

POLITBURO are Manchester’s first and last best hope for next gen post punk rock. Their second EP for Soviet Union is mere months away. ROBOT ARM are Manchester’s newest and brightest digital revolutionaries from the camp that brought is Bynatone.

PART CHIMP Part Chimp scared DiS....”Don’t complain about your worthless existence, your inability to handle the booze or the fact that Sonic Youth got old, we’ve learned how to ruin everything once, so we can do it again - You don’t need to know who Part Chimp are. You just have to be there at the end of the day to pick up the tab and clear up the mess….  “    www.partchimp.co.uk

	tRANSELEMENt Transelement excited NME with an 8/10 review of their last EP :  “Stirring psychedelic punk rock – myriad tripped-out ideas suffused in strange melodies and surreal humour. …elsewhere, moody mangled guitars recall the cathartic fury of Joy Division or Mogwai…”.    www.transelement.co.uk  / www.sovietunion.co.uk
	POLITBURO Politburo mm.co.uk / The Fly : “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 …”  www.politburostateradio.co.uk / www.sovietunion.co.uk
	ROBOT ARM Robot Arm : The hotly tipped and massively rated Bynatone have a vocal fronted off-shoot – ROBOT ARM – except its bigger, faster, harder – bleeps that can take a mans head clean off. RA are electrorock manctronica for the new / X-gen. Digital grind. “ … Chemically inbalanced casio fuelled transistorised circuit infused …cutting edge, minimalist keyboard work…& EuroGoth synths”   www.audiomonsterrecords.org
