SATURDAY 24th APRIL 2004 – THE CASTLE OLDHAM

GRAND VOLUME, TRANSELEMENT + MOVIE MADE CHILDREN

 

Entry £2 Before 10.30pm (£3 After) with free entry to late licenced Castle Rock Club

 

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) – we’ve also begun to include the next batch of Mancunian frontline hopefuls.

 

Things are building up at The Castle – our last foray saw a capacity crowd sample a play back of The Sonar Yens album, plus the heady delights of Nine Black Alps  - yes – we even made a legion of A&R people brave the streets of Oldham..

 

BANDS

 

GRAND VOLUME

 

“The irresistible and charmingly titled ‘Fucker’, is a lazy, lolloping tune, possessing a wickedly hypnotic side winding bass line. Nestling in some semi-comatose twilight,  looming promise of an all encompassing carnage fuelled theatric display. . .”

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…”. Currently back on John Peel’s radar and playlist
