FRIDAY 25th MARCH 2005

Working for a nuclear free city / yena veldt / loose canon

Entry £2 (and free entry to the Castle Alternative Club)

 

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, now in it's second year and 25 gigs in (!) since  IN THE CITY 2003 – We've had Youth Movie Soundtrack Strategies, Part Chimp and Transelement, to The Longcut, Nine Black Alps and of course the  NME celebrated Loose Canon, The Electric Circus retains its underground charm and remains open to anyone – just so long as they like good music. It doesn’t matter what kind of haircut you’ve got… What kind of pants you wear... Who you hang out with. …no labels..

  

DOORS: 9.00 until late

ENTRY :  £2 -  Door

WORKING FOR A NUCLEAR FREE CITY

 

"Retro dance beats and some neat Guitar Vs Synth bleeds, strangles and flat down the line ace noises... An instrumental package, but one that sparkles, bounces and vibrates with fantastically simple, fantastic sounds. These are instant theme tunes, little soundtracks and bursts of activity that make WFANF absolutely worth watching. Whilst peers loom slightly higher in the “watch this” stakes, methinks that WFANFC can easily slip in, under cover of night and smuggle out that trophy of “Gonna Be” for 2005. ..... a head wrangling inspiration (ManchesterMusic.Co.Uk) 

 

 

YENA VELDT

Webpage: www.yenaveldt.co.uk     

"Moments of sheer noise, with moments of sheer pop" (HIGH VOLTAGE) "Frantic guitars in a death pact with a four armed drummer as the kind of mockney, spoken and spat vox slips up the motorway" (UNPEELED) "Shades of artcore, hardcore & weirdcore going down chez Yena Veldt – but to simply write a list of possible influences would be missing the point. The point: Yena Veldt are making their art on their own terms - & it has nothing to do with the cult of personality over relevance. Yena Veldt are fully formed & waiting to perplex & excite you at the same time" (TMx).

 

LOOSE CANON

With  previous single 'What Comes Next? / Take These Eyes' and now the fabulous "Cruising On The 86" (ManchesterMusic.Co.Uk Record Of The Week)  out now on their own Akoustik Anarkhy imprint, the band have just enjoyed The Independent's 'Single Of The Week' accolade, plus some top line NME coverage. Loose Canon provide sure fire melodies and spikey, buzzing guitars, from a lo-fi party world of basement fun.
