ManchesterMusic.Co.Uk’s next generation of events follows up CHAIRSMISSING with its next
instalments of firebrand rock, visiting bands and
deliberate genre bending.
Continuing
our residency at The Castle in Oldham, now in it's second year and we’re one
away from heading towards 30 gigs since IN THE CITY 2003 – we also had
our first venture into the Academy on the 14th April with
65DaysOfStatic, who follow a gaggle of upcoming signed bands – up to a year
ahead - (check Youth Movie Soundtrack
Strategies, RedJetson, Part Chimp, Julian Donky Boy, I Had An Inkling, Yena
Veldt, Decoration, Econoline, Dead Fly Buchowski, Kubicek, The Longcut, The
Forest, Ormondroyd, Viva Stereo, Pioneers, Permissive Society, Bruno, Sara
Hawley, Say Jansfield, Lucida Console, Thai Bride, Stranger Son Of WB – plus
many many more …).
We’re
also just wiping the sweat from our heads after the staggering May Day event of
The Electric Circus at SOUNDS FROM THE OTHER CITY which presented outstanding
sets from Four Tomorrows, The Whisky Cats, the essential THE LOUNGS (watch out
for them - HUGE !) and of course the
seminal DEADBEATS - how good was that
!?
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 required..
THAI BRIDE:
Scissor sisters
meets Interpol meets wedding present – songs recorded in chorlton toilets (5
urinals) songs about self abuse (non-contact sports) and song about mental ills
(my poor brain chemistry) – the record has been worn out on GMR and “Moody, broody,
modern and pretty damn good” (UNPEELED)
TVH-3:
Dark
brooding slabs of electronic thuggery -
the keyboards, judder through your body frame as you try to focus on the
slither of faint light falling onto the
vocalist Lee. Sometimes the single guitar flickers into life – sputtering like Kevin Shields just cut his
hands on the strings..
POLITBURO:
ORGAN :
"Politburo could well be a band you want to sink yourself in to..." Line
Of Wealth was made single of the week by the same magazine in issue 97.
UNPEELED:
“batters, drives and swaggers a message for those who are listening, those who
ain't can dance… ”
