Established in 1984, SHEER TERROR has delivered some of the most punishing, and thematically heartbroken recordings ever known to hardcore. SHEER TERROR has created a career of inciting thugs to beat the hell out of each other to the back drop of love songs (that they most likely weep along to in private) made the way SHEER TERROR frontman Paul Bearer has seen fit. Before the malls, MTV, and the internet, stripped modern punk of it's heart and soul, hardcore was a fiercely wild and unpredictable form of truly underground music. Skinheads, punks, metalheads, drug addicts, straight-edgers and and other assorted freaks of nature would all gather at Sunday matinee shows at CBGB's and other hell-hole clubs around the world. Even in those days, Sheer Terror stood apart from the pack and offered up an unforgiving brutal hardcore sound that influenced bands such as HATEBREED, BLOOD FOR BLOOD, PANTERA and more. With live performances bordering on prison riots, Sheer Terror created a legacy in both music and uncompromising lyrical vision that very few bands could ever hope to match. £15.00 Sat 28th January, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/122515 Music - General event/122515 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0100 hoenix Music Promotions are hitting Camden with a Brand New Monthly Saturday night at Camden Rock!

Five performances across two days. Keszler's semi-sculptural performance installations and rapid-fire percussive attack, John Wiese at the mixing desk and the extreme computer music of R/S on day one followed by Tricoli's command of 'classical' tape music techniques opening day two ahead of the first ever London concert of CC Hennix's spiritual minimalism - performed as a trio together with Tricoli and Werner Durand. "We've said it before, but we'll say it again: PAN is one of the most consistently rewarding and praiseworthy experimental music labels in Europe. Operated out of Berlin by Bill Kouligas, who also co-designs all the sleeves, PAN's previous output includes forward thinking electronic, noise, concréte and outsider music. You really never know what you're going to get next, which is more than can be said for many of its contemporaries." FACT Magazine DAY TWO - SATURDAY 28 JANUARY 2012 CATHERINE CHRISTER HENNIX CC Hennix is one of minimalism and electronic music's true enigmas. A student of Pandit Pran Nath and associate of Henry Flint, the much-delayed release of her 'Electric Harpsichord' was a true revelation. She will perform an extended duration piece in a trio formation with Werner Durand and Valerio Tricoli. This will be her first ever performance in London. WERNER DURAND Werner will be performing with CC Hennix tonight, but he has also performed his own music for saxophones, iranian ney, and self-made wind instruments since the late seventies. He studied with Ariel Kalma in Paris, Indian classical music in India and Berlin (with Kamalesh Maitra) and Iranian ney with Ali Reza Asgharia. He started to build wind instruments out of plexi-glass and PVC in the early 80s, which led to the foundation of The Thirteenth Tribe in 1990. In addition to a number of his ongoing projects, Werner Durand has also collaborated with numerous composers/performers including David Behrman, John Driscoll, Samm Bennett, Fast Forward, David Moss, Muslimgauze, Henning Christiansen, Dominique Regef, David Maranha , Christian Marclay, David Toop & Tom Recchion as well as with visual/ sound artists Michaela Kölmel, Andreas Oldörp and Rolf Julius. He was a member of Arnold Dreyblatt's Orchestra of Excited Strings from 1990- 1997. VALERIO TRICOLI Valerio Tricoli continues to make an impression as producer and provocateur in Berlin since first arriving in 2006 from his native Sicily. His innate understanding of classical electro-acoustic music techniques and his unwavering command of dynamics have made him a sought after collaborator and an inscrutable presence at concert venues across Europe. 'Forma II', Valerio's duo CD with Thomas Ankersmit released by PAN, came in at #20 in the WIRE magazine's Best of 2011 list. £12.00 Sat 28th January, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/147337 Music - General event/147337 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 First time at The BIG TEN INCH for hotly-tipped London four-piece The Shoestrung - flame-bearers for sweaty rock n roll and 60s beat in the style of the early Stones and the devilish blues of Son House and Willie Dixon.

Now, 6 years after first opening their doors they've decided to spread the Green Note vibe further afield, and are hitting the road to present special events at other carefully selected venues. GREEN NOTE PRESENTS... ZOE MUTH & THE LOST HIGH ROLLERS She sounds like she might have been born a coal miner's daughter in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, or maybe grown up next door to her daddy's blacksmith forge outside Winchester, Virginia. But while Zoe Muth (pronounced Mewth) has the authentic honky tonk angel aura of Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline in her voice, she is helping to turn Seattle, from the capital of grunge into a north-west heartland of purest Americana. Her debut album stormed the hugely-influential FAR roots music chart on the other side of the Atlantic on its release and simultaneously hit the Number 1 slot on the Euro Americana Chart. Then, the stunning new follow-up for the Signature Sounds label, rocketed straight to the Number 1 position all over again. Over here it has been picking up a huge amount of radio attention and great reviews. Bob Harris told listeners to his BBC Radio 2 show that she was in a class of her own. Zoe and her band The Lost High Rollers have fast become the most talked about 'live' act on the US circuit and this will be their long-awaited UK debut. She could emerge as this decade's Gillian Welch with a sound and style that could have much wider appeal - Alan Cackett, editor of Maverick magazine Great and timeless country music David Innes, Rock 'n' Reel magazine There's a cool '50s feel to the song-writing and sound Americana UK The new Emmylou Harris NetRhythms (UK) £10.00 Sun 29th January, 2012 Doors @ 7.30pm.

Remarkably, his latest album 'Songwriter' could be his best yet and it certainly marks another high in a long and outstanding career. But that's not all. During the last year Andy has published his semi-autobiographical 21st Century Troubadour an often hilarious account of life on the road and toured throughout North America and Europe with his long term friend Stephen Fearing (Blackie & The Rodeo Kings) to support their joint album Fearing & White. 'Songwriter is on repeat in my car stereo - and if Andy never writes another song in his life - it doesn't matter. 'If You Want It' is simply one of the best songs I've ever heard.' Ivan Martin, one of Northern Ireland's top DJs I love this man and his music. Rave on!' Janice Long, BBC Radio 2 'This international treasure is a storyteller in the classical mould who weaves his words with gorgeous melodies and wry humour. Blisteringly romantic without being sentimental.' The Stage '25 years after he began to stake his patch in the music world, the self-styled bard of Belfast not only shows no sign of slowing down, but he even has the effrontery to sound better than ever.' Whisperin' and Hollerin' Andy White, one of the great Irish singer-songwriters, tours the world with his 12 string guitar in one hand and a book of poetry in the other. He has worked with the likes of Peter Gabriel and Tim Finn, been the A of ALT and won Ireland's top songwriting award. Since his breakthrough single 'Religious Persuasion', Belfast-born Andy has produced nine internationally released albums. The latest of these, 'Songwriter' (Floating World, 2009), was recorded in Vancouver and Real World Studios by legendary UK producer John Leckie (Radiohead, Muse, Pink Floyd). 'Songwriter' reflects writing collaborations he has been working on for the past few yearswith Canadians Allison Russell (Po'Girl) and Stephen Fearing (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings), Australian writer Sean Sennett and Scots producer Stuart Crichton. The band on the album includes members of Neko Case's group, Po' Girl, and the Be Good Tanyas, and features virtuoso pianist and accordion player Radoslav Lorkovic (Odetta, Jimmy Le Fave), Belfast born Andy has merged pop sensibility with lyrical excellence, social commentary and acoustic guitars ever since 'Religious Persuasion' (Stiff Records, 1985) and first album 'Rave On Andy White' (Decca, 1986). They called him Belfast's Bob Dylan as he emerged in the new wave of acoustic music headed by The Pogues. Melody Maker reviewed his first album with the headline 'Yer Man's Brilliant!' and Folk Roots made him a cover star. Andy has worked with the great names of Irish music including Van Morrison and Mary Black. Sinead O'Connor and The Frames have guested on his recordings and Andy was included in the Irish HQ Rock Hall of Fame in 1998. Socially aware in a way which comes naturally to someone who grew up in Belfast during the 70s and 80s, Andy's work has always reflected his time and place. In trying to make this particular experience universal, his writing incorporates and transcends the boundaries of his native land. In 1994 Andy was introduced to Australia by Tim Finn Andy was one third of folk supertrio ALT along with Tim and his Dun Laoghaire flatmate Liam Ó Maonlaí. After recording and releasing their album 'Altitude' (EMI, 1995) and promoting it worldwide, Andy returned to Australia to tour solo, signed to publisher Mushroom Music and wrote Cathy Freeman's Sydney Olympics anthem 'Coz I'm Free' with Christine Anu in 1999 which was performed at the opening ceremony. Meantime Andy recorded 'Teenage' in Dublin, featuring the single 'Get Back Home'. Released in 1996, this album signalled a return to Cooking Vinyl who followed it up in 1998 with the 'best of' collection 'Compilation'. After appearing at WOMAD Singapore, the Real World/WOMAD organization took Andy under their wing, releasing a live album 'Speechless' (WOMAD Select, 2000) and booking Andy to appear at many WOMAD festivals from South African to Seattle. Andy's mix of lyrical excellence, songwriting, political passion and social awareness are what attracted them, and the relationship continues to this day. In conjunction with the performance album, which featured both songs and poems, Lagan Press published a book of Andy's lyrics and poems entitled 'The Music of What Happens' (1999). The book was launched at the Dublin Writer's Festival and Cúirt in Galway. In the meantime, Andy wrote an eponymous album in Switzerland, returning to Dublin to record it in Temple Bar with a team of friends including Kieran and Maria Doyle-Kennedy, Bronagh Gallagher, his sister Cathy, Liam O Maonlaí, Dave Clarke and Nick Seymour. 'Andy White' was the first of Andy's albums to be released by UK label Floating World, in 2001. Andy moved to Melbourne the following year, finding a new home and the inspiration to write the albums 'Boy 40' (Floating World, 2003), 'Garageband' (2006), and 'Songwriter' (2009) and the latest a collaboration with the double award winner Juno Canadian singer songwriter Stephen Fearing 'Fearing & White (2011) The world of Andy White is peripatetic, intuitive, never uneventful. In November 2009 Lagan Press published '21st Century Troubadour' Andy's on-the-road journal, which tells the whole story. It could be subtitled, after one of Andy's best-known songs, 'Street Scenes From My Heart'. In 2011 Andy toured throughout North America and Europe with his long term friend Stephen Fearing (Blackie & The Rodeo Kings) to support their joint album Fearing & White.

They intend to do this by means of starry-eyed, quiet/loud, happy/sad, metropolitan/suburban, glamorously intense pop music. They have a self-belief that at times verges on the frightening.

Taking their musical cues from folk and classical sources as well as the broad spectrum of British indie rock they write melodic, edgy and intellectually coherent songs that have been consistently well-recieved in the UK and abroad.

Join us on a promenade performance that places the audience in the driving seat for a 90 minute adventure through the old buildings, streets and markets of east London! The Girl Who... begins like any other walking tour of Spitalfields Market and surrounding streets, until we meet Sen, an extraordinary character whose past experiences have changed her life forever. Suddenly we are impelled to help Sen on her physical and emotional quest to answer a basic human question: How do I fit in here? Inspired by Kazzum's work with young refugees in London, the show is based on a traditional Buddhist fable, 'The Man Who Didn't Want to Die', presented with a modern twist. Drawing stylistic inspiration from Japanese Manga animation and comics, this fast-paced, immersive performance allows the audience to discover secret buildings, explore sensory installations, and meet strange characters as the performance unfolds. The Girl Who explores how we can exist in a world when we don't feel part of it.

WEATHER THE STORM http://www.facebook.com/wtsuk Formed in 2010 Weather the Storm was started by Phil, Toby and Luke after a previous band split. They began writing with just the 3 of them, after auditioning a few guitarists, they finally found Paddy and went on to write a complete new set! Late in 2010 the band decided it was time to look for a vocalist, enter Ben who was the perfect addition to the band. After recording a few tracks in September, they hit the studio again in late November to record "Tell Me You're True" and are looking to make a HUGE impact in 2011!

Since the formation of the group, every member has been hard at work practising and writing original music, which takes influence from a variety of genres and styles, including some such as; metalcore, hardcore and post-hardcore. The band has also produced three recorded tracks, all of which have received extremely positive feedback and the band is hoping to record much more soon. The band quickly gained fans through their recorded tracks, mainly on websites such as Facebook and Tumblr, receiving large amounts of positive comments about the unique style and direction of the band. About six months after the band had formed its full line up, the band decided that they would have to let their old bassist go due to his previous commitments but had already found their current bassist who also was able to offer backing vocals for Cameron. The band is currently writing more new songs with an exciting new style and feel, hoping to soon record an EP with the transition into a lower tuning. Each song has its own style mixing distinctive riffs, chuggy breakdowns, beautiful vocal melodies with powerful screams and unique drum beats. Each different song will have its own motive and ‘scene’ behind it which the band will try to convey through the music, tempo and dynamics of the songs. “Dead Hearts” are a band that are extremely passionate about their music and bringing it to their fans, either through live performance or recorded and have amazing energy and presence which really reflects on their music. The band is hoping to make a huge impact throughout the rest of 2011 and through 2012 and gain the recognition they strive for. £5.00 Fri 3rd February, 2012 7:45pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/141834 Music - General event/141834 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 £5.00 Fri 3rd February, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/145803 Music - General event/145803 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Two rooms full to the brim with both live artists and DJs as GoMad and Jamm come together again to deliver an amazing line up that includes none other than a full live performance from Zion Train.

DM&P Stalwarts of the Scena Krakowska improvised music scene, DM&P Trio's somewhat schizophrenic musical explorations are fuelled by a belief in the raw expression of extreme emotions and total creative freedom. Special emphasis is placed on the gestural electronic manipulation of live acoustic signals from the two saxophones. This process results in a highly unusual form of interaction that rejects phony aesthetic, cultural or social boundaries. Although explosive streams of abrasive noise undoubtedly form an integral part of their live performances, DM&P's improvisations are often the product an entirely earnest process of self-questioning. In practice this can lead to episodes of raucous humour or elation, urgent silences or a dragging minimalism couched in an almost desperate nostalgia for times that never were but maybe should have been. A key aspect of this project's working methods is their reliance on innovative solutions in the music programming field. For several years now, Paweł Dziadur has been constantly refining wave_attack, a self-designed computer application which enables him to improvise in real time through careful selection and transformation of live acoustic input. As this programme has increased in sophistication, the scope for creative expression expands exponentially presenting a bewildering yet strangely seductive array of potential creative paths. Their debut album, Insular Dwarfism, which was released in 2010 by Audiotong, has received almost universally positive reviews. DM&P Trio have created a debut that lifts sound investigation to a new level. The main reason why I've fallen in love with Insular Dwarfism is because of the sheer uniqueness of the instrumentation and the recording process. This is challenging music for challenging thinkers. - JazzWrap TEMPERATURES "Temperatures are a London based duo of bassist/vocalist Peter Blundell and drummer James Dunn, who strip the form back to the bone, relying on the natural properties of their instruments, a handful of pedals and a synth wired up to the drums to create unruly, improvised Noise rock. The obvious comparison would be Lightning Bolt, but Temperatures have a less bludgeoning, more light-footed approach, with Dunn's drumming owing more to free jazz than hardcore, even hints of Prog. But there's an infectious sense of irreverence and adventure that stops them getting bogged down anywhere too long." Daniel Spicer, The WIRE "bear witness to a stage-managed collapse into utter formlessness and incoherent, spastic riffing that's simply phenomenal."

The first event is a double bill of duos. An exceedingly rare appearance from Andrew Chalk - here as Elodie, his duo with Timo Van Luijk and Vocal/Violin duo Jessika Kenney and Eyvind Kang, both collaborators on SUNN O)))'s Monolith's & Dimensions and responsible for the second LP on the label: 'Aestaurium' ANDREW CHALK Andrew Chalk has been active in music since the mid eighties. One of the great English musical hermetics, his distinctive mix of environmental recordings and textural collage creates a dream-like mood of disarming simplicity that reveals layers of patient detail on close listening. Chalk is also a serial collaborator (often by post). As a member of David Jackman's Organum, he contributed to the Submission LP on NWW's United Dairies label and had his own early experiments in layered electronic sounds and environmental noise (as Ferial Confine) issued on cassette by legendary London noise label Broken Flag. He has also worked with Vortex Campaign, The New Blockaders, Darren Tate (in Ora), Giancarlo Toniutti, Jonathan Coleclough, and Christoph Heemann (in Mirror). His early output under his own name was sporadic, However, the last few years have witnessed a surge in activity with a number of editions appearing on his own label: Faraway Press, as well as Christoph Heemann's Streamline. This will be a rare opportunity to see Andrew in person. For this appearance he will be joined by Timo Van Luijk for a performance as their duo Elodie. TIMO VAN LUIJK Originally from Finland but now resident in Belgium, Timo van Luijk is an autodidact sound artist/composing improviser working with acoustic instruments (strings, wind, percussion) and various (sound) objects. He started his musical excursions with some obscure local projects in the mid 80's and following sound studies/research he formed the experimental music/multimedia collective Noise-Maker's Fifes together with Geert Feytons in 1989. Simultaneously he slowly developed his personal musical activities as Af Ursin with regular releases since 1996. Apart from his solo work he has done frequent collaborations with Christoph Heemann (In Camera) and Limpe Fuchs, Kris Vanderstraeten, Raymond Dijkstra (Asra), Andrew Chalk (Elodie), Frederik Croene and is member of the group Onde together with Greg Jacobs and Marc Wroblewski (both from Noise Maker's Fifes). "In what might be the greatest international drone summit to date Andrew Chalk and Timo Van Luijk, two of the most forward-thinking slow-motion instrumentalists, have launched a new group project, Elodie, that features guest appearances from both Daisuke Suzuki and Ian Middleton. Chalk and Van Luijk have a long history together, both at one point playing as members of Mirror. With Elodie their focus is on combining landscape soundings and hazily rendered arcs of melody with actual small instrumentation, strings, music boxes, acoustic guitars etc... Parts of this come across as the most pastoral songwriter side that Andrew has ever been involved in and it's all the more bewitching for it." - Volcanic Tongue JESSIKA KENNEY & EYVIND KANG Duo performance from Jessika Kenney - a vocalist known for her haunting timbral sense, as well as her profound interpretation of vocal traditions - and Eyvind Kang - a violist for whom the act of music and learning is a spiritual discipline. Their LP 'Aestuarium' was the second release on Stephen O'Malley's Ideologic Organ label. A meditation on a psalm of lamentation and the unary tone in the metaphor of salt and fresh water, inspired by Gaelic psalmery, Tibetan notational gestures, and the microtonality of the tetrachord, 'Aestuarium' was recorded on the shore of Colvos Passage in 2005 by renowned engineer Mell Dettmer. "Aestuarium is a work of delicate beauty, as pristine as the surface of a lake at dawn on a summer's morning." - TheQuietus Jessika Kenney is a vocalist and composer based on Vashon Island near Seattle, Washington. Interested in both traditional sources and experimental methods, Kenney has performed and recorded classical Persian vocal repertoire with ney master Ostad Hossein Omoumi, new and traditional Javanese music with Gamelan Pacifica and Gamelan Madu Sari, and the music of contemporary composers such as John Cage, Hans Eisler, Lou Harrison, Eyvind Kang, and Tadao Sawai. Her teachers include the jazz vocalist Jay Clayton at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle and Nyi Supadmi in Central Java, Indonesia, where she studied traditional Javanese vocal music and collaborated on music and theatre in experimental settings. Eyvind Kang's prodigious recording career is surprising considering it's less than a decade old. Working since 1995, he can be heard on over 50 records, collaborating with the likes of Sun City Girls, Bill Frisell, Secret Chiefs, Blonde Redhead, Robin Holcomb, Laurie Anderson and many others.

Incorporating a small studio ('The Clubhouse') in the Buckinghamshire countryside the label acts as a crucible for releases, live events and multi media activity. The label's first offering was a compilation by the name of ''Divided By A Common Language - A Collection of UK Americana" which was released in March to critical acclaim. The album features 15 of the best UK based Americana acts on the circuit today including; Alan Tyler, Redlands Palomino Company, Two Finders of Firewater, The Cedars, The Hi and Lo, Southern Tennant Folk Union and The Dreaming Spires. ''UK Americana in excelsis'' UNCUT *** ''Britain's brightest exponents of Americana'' MERCURY PRIZE ''Mighty fine compilation, memorable moments are legion'' THE SUN **** http://www.clubhouserecords.co.uk THE DREAMING SPIRES Oxford's The Dreaming Spires burst fresh out of the box with an enviable musical pedigree. Group members - and brothers - Robin and Joe Bennett were formally of Goldrush and Danny & the Champions of the World while new single Everything All The Time (and B Side In Our Lifetimes) was produced by Supergrass producer (and Oxford based) Sam Williams. The band are skillfully aided by Loz Colbert of Ride on drums, making the guys something of an Oxford supergroup. This is fine, fine Americana; not so much foot-tapping as dancing with abandon from a band that fuses the warmth and energy of west-coast America with the spirit and heritage of their beloved home town of Oxford. http://www.facebook.com/thedreamingspires THE CEDARS Much-loved London-based Alt-Americana quartet, with soaring vocals, infectious rhythms and blasts of slide guitar and banjo. Plying tales of lost love, revenge and rural homicide, The Cedars manage to straddle the divide between the dancehalls of the 20's and 30's and what's going on in the scene right now. 'Shuffling, rootsy Americana 'n Country offset nicely by singer Chantal's beautifully silky, lilting voice - singing songs about 'dirt and shame in that stony ground'. ' - MusicMart www.thecedarsonline.com MAT GIBSON Sparse and contemplative, South London's own Mat Gibson ushers in comparisons to Springsteen's 'Nebraska', Jim James of My Morning Jacket and 'Being There' era Wilco. Built around a lead vocal and acoustic guitar, instrumentation is minimal. Percussion is often just a floor tom and a tambourine whilst flashes of piano, harmonica, glockenspiel and slide guitar accent Mat's doubled or harmonised vocals and flat-picked guitar. Both haunting and challenging, Mat's subtle and evocative lyrics probe complex contemporary themes with a deft, metaphorical approach. Managing to blur the divisions between past and present, Mat's soul-searching prose is as much an exercise in self-questioning as a hint to larger, far-reaching socio-political questions all rounded off with a touch of black comedy and satire. Mat's new album 'Forest Fire' was recorded with Rowland Prytherch (Danny & The Champions of the World, The Epstein) at Truck Studios, Oxfordshire was released in September 2011 on Clubhouse Records. http://matgibson.co.uk £4.00 Sun 5th February, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/148583 Music - General event/148583 Sat, 17 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 The Sunrise Set- Buzzcocky fizzing punk pop meets melodic Sugar/Husker Du shimmery stuff, makes for a grand sound.

They're a band that has written plenty of songs about girls and guitars, and about life, love, drinking, and life, love, and drinking while on the road. www.luceromusic.com MORE INFO: www.pulluptheroots.co.uk @putroots www.theslaughteredlambpub.com £7.50 Tue 7th February, 2012 7.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152589 Music - General event/152589 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 £4.00 Tue 7th February, 2012 8.00pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/153456 Music - General event/153456 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 It was a dark and foggy night when Still Corners songwriter Greg Hughes first laid eyes on vocalist Tessa Murray (now filled out to a 4-piece by Leon Dufficy and Luke Jarvis). Fusing whispered intimacy to the emotional expansiveness of composer Ennio Morricone, Hughes crafts deceptively simple songs that linger like half-remembered dreams.

Aidan will charm on and all with songs, stories and trademark Scottish salaciousness. Aidan has been a friend of The Quietus since we founded the website in 2008. In the role of Uncle Agony Aidan he dished out solutions to the sexual and emotional troubles of our readers. We also took him UFO-hunting, but perhaps his most striking piece of writing was his close lyrical analysis of Adele's Someone Like You, which, it's fair to say, upset some of her more sensitive fans on the internet. We therefore felt it was high time that we actually got Aidan to do something musical for us. So, on 8 February, he's travelling down from Glasgow for a one-off solo performance of songs and stories at Klub Gutenberg - the monthly night co-hosted by The Quietus and Rough Trade Books. Aidan's Adele duet remains to be confirmed. £8.00 Wed 8th February, 2012 7.30pm to 11pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152115 Music - General event/152115 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 £5.00 Wed 8th February, 2012 07.45PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152227 Music - General event/152227 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Being situated in the most lucrative spot in Camden, the 250 capacity Undersolo is re-launching a new era, and has it's sights set firmly on giving the public what they have wanted for so long.

After moving from France to London Charlotte Marionneau began composing and making tracks, receiving vital encouragement from musicians like Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval and David Roback, My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields and Colm O'Ciosoig, all of whom contributed to her record 'I Killed My Best Friend'. Most of which was recorded at home - a lo-fi punk record in attitude rather than in musical style. "A strange, otherworldly concoction of sounds filled with fragile vocals and haphazard guitars, flowing like an enchanting and elusive diary of dreams." (Forced Exposure) Le Volume Courbe's Theodaurus Rex EP was was released on the 7th November 2011 through Pickpocket Records. It is the first release on the label formed by Le Volume Courbe's leader and lynchpin Charlotte Marionneau with Kevin Shields. It includes I Love The Living You (featuring Shields), Born To Lie, Lazy, and an interpretation of the Nico song Le Petit Chevalier which Le Volume Courbe played at their first ever London gig: a Nico tribute show.

Teenage band line ups ebbed and flowed until Rosie's first modest taste of fame and fortune arrived whilst fronting Rosie and The Goldbug. Press, radio and TV followed, culminating with international tour shows with one of Rosie's childhood heroes, Cyndi Lauper. 'The Neon Nightmare Tour' in spring 2012 sees Rosie embark on a new, exciting solo adventure armed only with a keyboard, a guitar amp and a microphone. Here are some nice words written about Rosie by other people: Rosie Vanier has a voice that leaps from sugary pop to operatic whoops, her ivories chiming through a repertoire raging from the turbulent to the serene. - Independent on Sunday Kate Bush on crack with Goldfrapp on synths The Guardian Soaring melodies, beautifully sung.

Ian Nagoski is a radio presenter and musicologist based in New York who has received great plaudits in recent months for the 3cd package he compiled for the excellent Tompkins Square label, To What Strange Place : The Music Of The Ottoman-American Diaspora, 1916-1929. Along with the extensive notes contained within the package, Nagoski has produced a tantalising treasure trail relating the stories of the countless intertwined lives of people originally from Anatolia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Levant who migrated to the US in the early 20th Century and the music they brought with them. ‎Comparisons with Harry Smith's anthology or Revenant's American
Primitive are in order, not least because this is American music with
a capital A, animated by the same feelings of desperation, nostalgia,
the quest for cheap kicks and the agony of loss. Like Smith, Nagoski
is a Walter Benjamin visionary, using his collection of 78s to
hallucinate a history that actually happened but which remains hidden
beneath official dogma and nationalisms.
-The Wire, August 2011 I was entranced; I was FASCINATED. It is one of the most worthwhile
purchases you will make this year. I went and got mine; I think you
should, too.
 - Henry Rollins, KCRW Ian Nagoski's To What Strange Place is a work of great beauty.
- Jace Clayton / DJ/rupture, WFMU It feels as essential to an understanding of American music as
anything else.
- Pitchfork Ian will play and discuss a selection of tracks from the collection and relate stories of migration, the embryonic record pressing industry, cultural dispersal and interweaving he's delivered several such presentations in the US, where the musical mix of deep contemplation, utter tragedy, blazing jams and some hilarity has left deep impressions on his audiences. Nagoski's playback and discussion will be followed by a performance from The Family Elan, the ongoing project of renowned multi-instrumentalist Chris Hladowski, who you'll also know from his work with A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Nalle and The One Ensemble. Delving into the same mine of influence as To What Strange Place, and dipping musical toes in Uzbekistan, Eastern Europe and elsewhere, the current formation of The Family Elan as bouzouki/bass/percussion power trio has inspired involuntary dervishes in audiences across Europe on recent tour dates. £7.00 Sat 11th February, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/144129 Music - General event/144129 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 PUBS ROCK TOUR Danny and The Champs and the boys in Billy Vincent like pubs and they like rock.

They emerged, as a new band, translucent-skinned and bleary-eyed from their cocoon as Black Moth. Taking a powerful chunk of influence from proto-punk acts such as Iggy and the Stooges, Motorhead and early Alice Cooper as well as a sliver of 90s grunge and stoner rock, Black Moth draw out the darker elements and combine them with the heaving riffs of heavy metal giants, Pentagram and Black Sabbath, with "hooks so sharp you could hang a corpse on them". They also look to more current acts such as the Melvins, Sleep and Electric Wizard for inspiration, though singer, Harriet Hyde, still maintains a vocal style that evokes the haunting psychedelia of Grace Slick and psych-Satanist, Jinx Dawson from Coven: the woman responsible for the "sign of the horns" in rock'n'roll. SPIRITWO http://spiritwo.com/ / www.facebook.com/pages/SPIRITWO/24186054882?sk=info One moment feisty electro, then Middle Eastern vocals creep in and all coiled into a tight punk rock aesthetic rooted in Mr Bungle and Cardiacs.

In 1994 he started playing small venues as 'Appendix Out' and was discovered by American musician Will Oldham (aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billy), which led to a record contract with US label Drag City. His most recent album, and his third collection of traditional material, was 2010's 'Too Long In This Condition'. Credited to Alasdair Roberts & Friends, it features a stellar cast of international musicians who perfectly complement his raptly personal versions of the songs recorded. Roberts has toured extensively in the UK and beyond, and recently completed a solo European tour opening for Joanna Newsom. This followed a front cover feature in the March 2010 edition of The Wire magazine that served to demonstrate his ability to appeal to both the underground 'Wyrd Folk' community as well as the traditional folk community. www.alasdairroberts.com MORE INFO www.pulluptheroots.co.uk @putroots www.thelexington.co.uk £12.50 Sun 12th February, 2012 7.00pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/146293 Music - General event/146293 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Artists live for those rare moments when everything lines up; when they gather the right songs and the right people in the right place at the right time, and find themselves and their music truly coming alive. Brigitte DeMeyer is experiencing just such a moment. Her new cd 'Rose of Jericho' is proof of that. A wonderful cd by an artist who realises she's surrounded by the great of Americana music, such as Sam Bush, Buddy Miller and Brady Blade, her co-producer/percussionist/drummer. Will Kimbrough is in a similar place in his artistic career. Will Kimbrough is hungry. The youthful singer, songwriter, award-winning guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, performer and bandleader has a voracious appetite for every aspect of music. Born and raised in the deep south of the Alabama Gulf Coast, Kimbrough was surrounded by different kinds of music. In his quest to develop his musical capacities to their fullest, Will Kimbrough has become a modern-day Renaissance Man. Kimbrough is known as the guitar player for Rodney Crowell and recently Emmylou Harris. His songs have been covered by artists such as Jimmy Buffett, Todd Snider, Jack Ingram and Little Feat. His new cd will be out early 2012. Brigitte and Will will also have the support of Chris Donohue, the utterly talented bass player who has played with all the greats of the Americana music such as Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Gillian Welch and many many more.

Every performance is a unique event, specific to time and place, relying on a shared trust between the musicians, a common knowledge and respect of each other's music and a desire to share the surprise and delight of the moment. From a stylistic canvas that moves between the smallest sounds to grand gesture the energy is palpable. This attention to all aspects of sound production being treated as possible musical material adds to the multidimensionality of the music and is used to clarify and elucidate and never to over simplify or over complicate. Aiming to be as clear and truthful to the musical imperative as it unfolds, the trio present the audience with a direct and uncompromising involvement in the music they create. After an initial London performance in December 2009 the trio has since performed in the UK, Austria and Italy. MIA ZABELKA Mia Zabelka, composer, electric violinist and vocalist from Vienna, lives in the Austrian region of southern Styria. Amongst Jon Rose and Laurie Anderson she has the international reputation of one of the most innovative freestyle Violin Players of the World. As a composer and performer of improvised, experimental and electro-acoustic music she has developed a unique language based on the de- and reconstruction of the violin's sonic possibilities, expanding the instrument using live electronic effects and innovative performance techniques. She studied music and composition with Roman Haubenstock-Ramati, Dieter Kaufmann, Kurt Schwertsik and Alexander Arenkov in Vienna, creating a foundation on the basis of which she continues to construct and explore the limits of sound and music in a language entirely her own. The violin, voice and her own body transform into sound bodies which are at once organic and primal, screaming, lyrical, composed and explosive. As a pioneer of electro-acoustic performance and composition in Austria, Mia Zabelka developed the process she describes as automatic playing, continuously exploring sound and music as physical phenomena, always pushing back the boundaries in radical and provocative performances and compositions that question established notions and given structures. Her work has been described as "A dark delirium of sounds, a disintegrated vision on a complex world an acoustic version of William Blake's poetry". She has given concerts and performances throughout Europe, America and the former USSR. Recipient of numerous prizes and awards, she is a three time winner of the prix ars electronica and was a guest of the DAAD's (German Academic Exchange Service's) international artists' programme in Berlin. MAGGIE NICOLS Vocalist Maggie Nicols has been an active participant in the European improvisational community since joining the Spontaneous Music Ensemble in the late '60s. As a co-founder of the Feminist Improvising Group, she has also worked to further women in improvised music, dancing and other creative arts not only by example, but through workshops and extensive collaborating. JOHN RUSSELL for Russell the fingerboard is apparently multiple. He finds new tones in the same place, new relationships in the same gesture. A second trip across the fingerboard is always a different excursion. The harmonic is a transparent sound: silence and ambient sound pass through it. It accounts for Russell's unhurried pace and his sense of order, even when he's playing fast: there's simply so much going on. - Stuart Broomer, Point of Departure £6.00 Sun 12th February, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/151435 Music - General event/151435 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Sonic Thrill-Hooky, female fronted pop-metal with a decidedly 80's sound.

Harnessing the intensity of The National with the pop sensibility of Jens Lekman and the intelligent wordplay of Deathcab For Cutie, The Rosie Taylor Project have made a sophisticated record, full of heartfelt honesty and romance. Produced by Richard Formby (Wild Beasts, Herman Dune) and with a guest vocal appearance from Wild Beasts' singer Tom Fleming, the band have honed their chamber pop sound to become the next in line of succession for widespread admiration. ------------------------------------ £5.00 Mon 13th February, 2012 8:00pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152310 Music - General event/152310 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 THE CORNSHED SISTERS Newly signed to the quality Memphis Industries label, Tyne & Wear quartet The Cornshed Sisters celeberate the launch of their first single "Dance At My Wedding" which is released today (13 Feb). Their rather cool debut album 'Tell Tales' follows in April. The Cornshed Sisters are not bioloigical siblings but to hear them it does sound like they have the a father who sang like an angel and by a Mother who loved the devil's music. Guitar pop, folk tales, protest songs, country music, piano ballads and gospel must have all gone into the same soup from which these women supped. Although unified in their musical tastes, as songwriters and interpreters The Cornshed Sisters display a healthy disregard for unity of subject matter (reminiscent perhaps of Randy Newman, Joni Mitchell or Richard and Linda Thompson). In these songs the ladies tackle waterbabies, beekeeping, marriage, soothsayers, men in sequined suits, making pies out of people and the axis of love and bombs. And, there's some unusual stuff too. Drawing on a palette of vocals and assorted acoustic instruments they convey these ideas with sensitivity and humour. Their four distinctive yet sympathetic voices range far and wide, recalling the emotive tangles of The Band as often as the choral elegance of The Roches. http://www.facebook.com/thecornshedsisters LUCAS RENNEY Lucas Renney is a singer-songwriter from Sunderland. He first came to prominence as lead singer and songwriter of XL Recordings artists The Golden Virgins, who split in 2006.

Recently migrated from the capital city of the West Midlands Coventry to the southerly climes of his native London, Ghostpoet has made his mark on 2011 with the excellent debut LP Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam on Brownswood records. Its series of off-kilter, loopy electronic ditties blessed with his delightfully rambling musings on modern life have gained the soft-spoken Obaro an impressive slew of accolades culminating with his nomination for a Mercury Prize Award, a slot on 'Later... with Jools Holland' and a sold out show at Scala. Set around the release date for his new single which will serve as a bridge between his sophomore effort and a brand new album coming out later in 2012, this will be an excellent chance to catch a glimpse of this rising star at the majestic surroundings of KOKO. Thoroughly recommended. £15.00 Wed 15th February, 2012 7pm-11pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/138747 Music - General event/138747 Mon, 10 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0100 Anais Mitchell plays a very special solo acoustic show in the intimate reading room of The Westminster Reference Library, where she will be previewing songs from, and discussing the making of, her brand new album 'Young Man In America'. 'Young Man In America' is the follow-up to her critically beloved folk opera 'Hadestown', which received sensational reviews and landed Mitchell on numerous 'Best of 2010' lists in both the national and international press. Switching gears, Mitchell returns here to a more traditional solo record, but those familiar with Hadestown will hear its overtones in Young Man. It's an epic, sprawling tale with characters leaping from the verses as they would from the pages of a novel. In keeping with this literary spirit, journalist and author Nick Coleman will interview Anais and invite questions from the audience. Coleman's upcoming book "The Train in the Night" - an account of his struggle with sudden hearing loss and a personal reflection on how we hear and feel music - will be published on February 2nd by Jonathan Cape.

Consisting of husband and wife duo Ally McErlaine and Shelly Poole, and singer Charity Hair, Red Sky July is an entirely original debut album from a group with a phenomenal pedigree, all of whom have been steeped in music for as long as they can remember. With her sister Karen, Shelly Poole was one half of the million-selling duo Alisha's Attic. The daughter of famed '60s artist Brian Poole, music was always around Shelly as a young child and she learned to read and compose music at a very early age. Since the band's split in 2003 Shelly has gone on to become a successful songwriter for other artists, as well as releasing a solo album 'Hard Time For The Dreamer.' Ally McErlaine has had a guitar in his hand for most of his adult life. Sitting in his bedroom as a teenager and teaching himself how to play along to his favourite records, Ally joined Texas when he was just 17. He has been touring with them since 1988, selling over 15 million albums worldwide in the process. Ally and Shelly married in 2001. Charity Hair hails from the small town of Plant City in Florida, and developed a love for playing music after being given a violin by her grandmother at the age of 8. Scouted by a modelling agency at the age of 18, Charity soon moved to London and ended up forming The Alice Band with two other girls she had met. It was during this time she first met Ally while performing on a TV show at the same time as Texas. Later she would become singer for The Ailerons, performing alongside drummer Dave Rowntree (Blur) who had signed Shelly to his record label! Charity has previously performed at several of Shelly's solo gigs, and the three have all kept in touch over the years, always wanting to work together but never quite finding the right moment or material until now. Red Sky July came together to make music they love with no boundaries and expectations. It was set to be a 'soulfood' side project that would bring a few low key gigs and be a great contrast to their song writing day jobs. One day a week soon became five, and a group of songs with a hazy, folk-inflected sound soon found their way into shaping and becoming a whole album. The three of them then took these songs to Jazz Summers and Tim Parry at Big Life Management. With a roster of artists that includes Snow Patrol and The Verve, Summer and Parry were impressed and enlisted Rory Carlile to produce the entire album. Yet there was a two-year break where the entire project was put on standby Ally suffered a major brain aneurysm and was in a critical state for over a year. Finally reconvening last summer and drafting in new band member Mark Neary, Red Sky July were ready to resume where they left off. Relocating to Bristol, they recorded the album live to capture the sense of danger and fragility that playing together in the same room at the same time brings. Red Sky July is an astonishingly assured debut album, born out of the pleasure and satisfaction of three like-minded souls creating exactly the music they hear in their heads. That such a project can touch universally only testifies to their creative spirit and abilities. PLEASE NOTE: The venue comprises both seated and standing space. There are a limited number of tables.

Bourne's extraordinary physical performance on the intimate venue's grand piano is not to be missed. With Montauk Variations, Bourne has reinvented his approach by stripping away the clutter and quirkiness characteristic of previous work. Fragility and romanticism have come to the fore while the performances still carry the Bourne hallmarks of unpredictability and intensity. You can hear a selection of songs from Montauk Variations here now. Let me know if you'd like to hear the full album! Bourne first rose to prominence in 2001 when he won a Perrier Jazz Award, following that with the 'Innovation' accolade at the BBC Radio Jazz Awards in 2002. Since then he's worked with a multitude of different projects, including The Electric Dr M, Bourne/Davis/Kane, Bilbao Syndrome, Nostalgia 77, Trio Grande, Broadway Project and more. March 2012 will see Bourne head to China as part of a residency programme organised by The British Council and PRS For Music Foundation. Joining Imogen Heap, Jamie Woon and Gareth Bonello, the programme is designed to enable innovative British musicians to explore new musical trerritory, reach new audiences and write new material in the context of an emerging, international market.

Errors Release Have Some Faith In Magic out on Rock Action Records January 30th 2012 Free download 'Earthscore' available now from here After a brief but hugely-influential time away Errors return with 'Have Some Faith In Magic,' on Rock Action Records; their third album, it counts as far and away their greatest shift in sound yet, heralding in a sound of serenely cosmo-gazing sugar-tipped pop; previously hinted at with Spring single 'Magna Encarta,' a further preview is provided with free download 'Earthscore.' A group who emerged at the tale end of a period when anything purely-instrumental and guitar-based became lazily tagged post-rock, Errors have now distanced themselves from that loose genre so much that any fleeting comparison to it is now completely redundant. 'Have Some Faith In Magic' is an LP of sprawling pop, with delicious hooks applied liberally across post-electro scatterings; a complete turn away from previously lauded albums 'It's Not Something But It Is Like Whatever,' and last year's 'Come Down With Me' - not least with vocals now being included prominently for the first time. It was just something that naturally happened, comments the group's Steev Livingstone, we had the idea to put vocals in the music a while ago but we always intended that they should be treated as another instrument. We've used them in a way that sits really naturally so the music and the vocals don't feel like separate entities. Fresh from a summer supporting label mates (and bosses) Mogwai in the US, Errors can announce that they'll again be supporting the band at a dual homecoming gig at Glasgow's famous Barrowlands on December 22nd with a headlining tour taking place in February. Errors' fans have long had their faith rewarded by the band; their third album only looks set to continue that trends.

Last year they followed their already classic debut album 'In the Court of the Wrestling Let's' with the Steve Albini-produced 'Nursing Home' to rapturous applause.

They've released numerous singles and compilation tracks on assorted indie labels, along with three albums, and as überlord of the Slampt label Pete was responsible for launching a hundred fanzines and as many bands, The Yummy Fur and Kenickie included. In the last couple of years the band have played knockout sets at both Indietracks Festival and London Popfest on the back of their last album My Funny Social Crime on Fortuna POP! Their safety-pin-in-my-heart pop-punk style is the direct descendent of Buzzcocks, Undertones and the like. (Drowned In Sound) https://www.microsofa.net/mw OMI PALONE There will always be a place in music for bands like Omi Palone. It's an oddly distant part of modern music, but theirs is the poignant simplicity of four guys hanging out, forming a band and doing their best to get their songs heard. It's this element of endearing honesty that makes them, in their Jonathan Richman/Calvin Johnson/Eugene Kelly inspired world, just that little bit more loveable. It's been a while, lo-fi indie. It's been a while... Lovely indie garage rock music the retro vibe and lo-fi sound, but without all the pretentious sycophantic bollocks. A fine example to a lot of bands of how to get the most out of fuzzy guitar pedals.

SEBASTIAN LEXER Sebastian Lexer rewires the ultimate nineteenth-century drawing room mechanism with twenty-first-century technology to create a music that hovers inbetween times, exploiting the tension between the automatic and the intentional, making any firm sense of space thrillingly uncertain. STEVE NOBLE Steve Noble is often typecast these days as a loud and aggressive free jazz drummer but, while undoubtedly a master at cranking up volume and energy, he relishes awkward and unlikely situations and handles them with poise and elegance, as recent duos with Ryu Hankil and Paul Abbott have made perfectly clear. £6.00 Thu 16th February, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/151729 Music - General event/151729 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Atlantic & Lion- Americana tinged Galaxie 500, swathes of reverb, noisy shoegazy guitar, and the whole shebang reaches a post-grunge/slacker crescendo bit like Fannies 1st l.p via Dinosaur Jnr..

Fronted by the screeching vocals of ex Giddy Motors man Gaverick de Vis, they're out to blasst the UK with alternative noise. "captures perfectly that line between experimentalism, clever and noisy rock without becoming annoying or repetitive as many records of this type can do. It's what they use to call good, clean, honest fun. But be careful of Poino's merry-go-round, it's fun to be dizzy, but adjusting to normal life again when you get off can take a while." - Rockfeedback www.facebook.com/poinomusic CHIPS FOR THE POOR ''The vibe is lo-fi electronic punk that nods to Suicide, The Fall and The Talking Heads but carries a humour more present in modern new wavers such as simian mobile disco.

Two faces, two approaches which reveal the same enigma: that of sounds shaped in the moment of their own creation, by way of the simple contact of fingers, or of electricity passing through the internal circuits of the modified devices - or perhaps the amplification of materials (rather than objects) placed on the turntable of a record player. Inviting the most basic kinds of accident, resulting from unstable and minimal constructs, or from a more than simply intuitive handling, sometimes becoming accidents of accidents - either way you might say that the hand is the real instrument which, by way of clever tricks, vibrations, vague movements or tremors, stamps the sound with an indeterminacy which connects it directly to the organic. JASON KAHN (Zurich) electronics (anlaog synthesizer, mixing board, piezo microphone, magnetic coils, short wave radio, sound recorder) In these solo performances I'm working with an unstable system of different signal inputs being fed into an analog synthesizer, which I in turn feed back into itself, creating at times volatile and unpredictable layers of sound. Always at some point in these concerts I cede control to the system as it determines its own momentun: implosion, explosion, stasis, density, silence. PHIL JULIAN (London) electronics, objects and surfaces Philip Julian has been an active part of the experimental music underground since the late 1990's recording numerous works under the name Cheapmachines. Studio recordings and live performances within Europe and North America have focused on the use of analogue electronics (particularly analogue synthesizer, feedback, contact microphones, objects and surfaces) and computer based works. Julian has collaborated on remixes, recordings and performances with Maurizio Bianchi, The A Band, Birchville Cat Motel, Tomas Korber, Michael Renkel, Nihilist Assault Group, The New Blockaders and GX Jupitter-Larsen of The Haters as well as being a member of the improvised drone ensemble Signals with Mark Beazley and Chris Gowers and playing as part of Mark Wastell's improvising group The Seen. He also runs the Authorised Version label. MATT DAVIS (Truro) trumpet and preparations Davis has worked in improvised and experimental music, using mainly the trumpet and field recordings, since 1994 after studying visual art and being heavily influenced by The Situationists. Has also directed 'Field' - a live art/performance project, operating since 2003, which started out as a platform for discussion on improvisation between different disciplines and ended up being a non-specific performance project referencing the work of geographer Doreen Massey who collaborated on the project. He has worked throughout Europe and also Japan and collaborates regularly with dance as well as musicians such as Angharad Davies, Rhodri Davies, and Mark Wastell. He currently lives in Cornwall and is a member of the 'School of Noises' collective which includes Rob Gawthrop, Robert Curgenven, Oliver Scott and Dominick Allen. His work investigates the question of sound (noise) as music, and music as a tool for improvisation, not improvisation as a compositional tool, and in that a negotiation of a relational space.

He has worked throughout Europe and also Japan and collaborates regularly with dance as well as musicians such as Angharad Davies, Rhodri Davies, and Mark Wastell. He currently lives in Cornwall and is a member of the 'School of Noises' collective which includes Rob Gawthrop, Robert Curgenven, Oliver Scott and Dominick Allen. His work investigates the question of sound (noise) as music, and music as a tool for improvisation, not improvisation as a compositional tool, and in that a negotiation of a relational space. Jason Kahn will run a 2-day workshop on graphic score at Soundfjord (14-17 february, dates to be confirmed) and ASTERO will run a workshop on improvising with circuit bending at Apiary Studios on February 18th and 19th... £6.00 Sat 18th February, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/137947 Music - General event/137947 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0100 £12.50 Sat 18th February, 2012 7pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/140169 Music - General event/140169 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0100 She Makes War - http://shemakeswar.com/ £6.00 Sat 18th February, 2012 7.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/143787 Music - General event/143787 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Under 21's require ID to purchase alcohol Under 14's must be accompanied by an adult over 18 at all times Curfew 10pm Avast, ye landlubbers!

Battery-powered radios are devices used very often by the circuit bending community in their practice, and their sounds, original or modified, have an important role as sound generators in sound art and performances. During the first four hours of the workshop, we will dismantle a radio and modify its sound outputs by creating short-circuits and adding different electronic components (in a non permanent manner, no soldering) such as potentiometers, photo cells, etc. It is an experimental and creative search, based on trial and error. Considerations To participate in this workshop it is not necessary to have knowledge of electronics. During the workshop, the necessary skills and electronic knowledge will be taught. Each attendee has to bring one or two battery-powered radios (preferable AM). The device must run on batteries and at low voltage (9 volts maximum). Attendees will be provided with the necessary tools. There will not be soldering. +++ Part 2 - Sound improvisation strategies for here and now: Introduction It was since the prepared piano works of American composer John Cage, composed in the 30's, that musical instruments began to acquire a new status within the avant-garde music. Given to the possibilities offered by these new approaches to the instruments, the musical focus, away from the parameters of contemporary-classical composition, went slowly into new areas where sound could be expressed more freely, blurring new situations, new practices and ways of understanding music. Today, free improvisation has become even richer and more abstract due to the incorporation of new technological means or simply new preparation techniques, acoustic or amplified. Circuit bending is one of these possibilities. Considerations This second part of the workshop will be focussed in the use of the modified devices built during the first part. Some specific aspects of sound, as texture, dynamics, timbre, silence or permanence, will be developped ; every personal question will be discussed as a common question, analyzing forms, gestures and political contexts. The aim will be to create certain structures, certain ways of producing sounds related to listening, sharing or decision making, and develop collective and individual situations. The workshop will be more practical than theoretical. +++ Maximum participants: 12 Minimum participants: 6 Deadline for inscription 13 February 2012 £25.00 Sat 18th February, 2012 9:30am http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/150676 Music - General event/150676 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 2 day workshop 18 February 2012, 10am - 4pm 10am-1pm: Bending a radio, facilitated by Juan Matos Capote 1pm-2pm: light lunch (provided) and Q&A 2pm-4pm: Sound improvisation strategies for here and now, facilitated by Alfredo Costa Monteiro: 19 February 2012, from 10am - 1pm 10am - 1pm: practice in groups and Q&A facilitated by Juan Matos Capote and Alfredo Costa Monteiro +++ Part1 - Bending a radio: Introduction Circuit Bending is the term used to designate creative and innovative modifications, based on short-circuiting low-voltage electronic devices, with the aim to create new musical instruments and sound generators.

From different backgrounds, Edina Balczo is a Hungarian self-taught guitarist, but became extremly popular on Youtube and Davide Lufrano Chaves is Italian/Costa Rican and studied classical guitar at the Conservatorio Puccini gaining his Masters Degree in Music. At the beginning of 2010 the musical paths of these two talented musicians crossed in London. They have come a long way since these humble beginnings when they were buskers in different markets across London. During the second summer since playing together De Fuego have performed at various UK festivals (Glastonbury festival, Secret Garden party, Cosmofestival, Small world festival etc) and in famous clubs, including Hootananny and Ronnie Scotts. They were also invited to Sziget in Hungary, one of the biggest music festivals in Europe. In their music you can clearly hear their passion and virtuosity and with their spectacular percussion guitar techniques only with two guitars they make the people dance.

Jones will perform compositions from his acclaimed string of solo guitar records and will give a talk on the history of the 'Takoma School' of American music taking in the work he's done on the boxset 'Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You'. Described by The WIRE as "One of the great musical stories of the 20th Century", the boxset covers the early years of Jones' late friend John Fahey. GLENN JONES There is perhaps no better living proponent of the so-called 'American Primitive' or 'Takoma School' than Glenn Jones. Operating for 20+ years as the guitarist for legendary Boston psych band Cul De Sac (including collaborations with Damo Suzuki and John Fahey), Glenn has gone on to release four solo albums of fingerpicked guitar and banjo, the latest of which 'The Wanting' includes an extended collaboration with drummer Chris Corsano. Jones is also setting his own routes across the map of American music, indebted to the fountainhead but capturing his own unique feeling and thereby extending the tradition established by Fahey, Robbie Basho and other players such as Max Ochs, Harry Taussig, Fred Gerlach and Dick Rosmini. "This is music that makes its own space, creates its own landscape, and then invites you in. It may be intricate, it may be experimental, but it is never unapproachable." - Pop Matters an incredibly adept fingerstyle guitarist whose technique always remains in service of the song His vigorous leaps are daring but never reckless, and nearly always sublime. Utne Reader YOUR PAST COMES BACK TO HAUNT YOU As part of this evening Glenn will be talking about his work on 'Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You' - the long-awaited box set of the earliest recordings by John Fahey and the first book ever written about him. The WIRE magazine's #1 archival release of 2011: "One of the great musical stories of the 20th Century" "This set is not just for Fahey zealots. It's for anyone interested in the story of American music, from its Appalachian string bands and mean-moaning Delta blues singers to the hymns sung from its church pews and the country-rock anthems soon enough crafted by its hippies... A must-have collection of lore, music, and history, it's a unified, brilliant, and often very challenging archive." - Grayson Currin, Pitchfork £8.00 Tue 21st February, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/149182 Music - General event/149182 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 £5.00 Tue 21st February, 2012 7.45PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/151779 Music - General event/151779 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 £4.00 Tue 21st February, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152103 Music - General event/152103 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Benny and boys make for high steppin' funky rhythm n blues- a retro groove of fabulous dimensions.

On August 1, Not Not Fun released her highly anticipated LP Cabaret Cixous. She has been featured in the Guardian, NME, Uncut and countless other publications and has just completed her first European tour including a sell-out London show. Outfit The Liverpool-based band emerged in 2011 under a cloud of mystery. The band's dark, disenfranchised mini-narratives have led to them featuring as NME's Radar band of the month, Q's 'ones to watch' for 2012 and tipped by The Guardian, The Times & Line Of Best Fit. Debut single Two Islands is the bands calling card and mission statement, a near-seven minute euphoric pop song with soaring vocals and synths all underpinned by subtle electronics.

The hirsute, yet dapper, quintet based in Saskatoon offer murder ballads alongside scrappy rockers, lovesick hymnals and slow-dance waltzes that preserve the shadowy corners of folk music traditions. There's a sadness that runs throughout the 13-song affair that is their current rather brilliant The Place I Left Behind album but the uplifting harmonies and warm organ work act as the perfect counterpoint. Deep Dark Woods work the material, storytelling aspects of the tradition. Storytelling needs a narrator, preferably a reliable, sympathetic one that's easy on the ears, but it also needs a strong voice capable of venting horror, frustration, sadness, anger, outrage.

Produced by Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Portishead) and recorded in Baxter's hometown of London, the album will be released in digital and CD format. 'Claire' is the first single to be taken from it, released on 1st July. 'Happy Soup' is worlds away from the darkness and romantic disappointments of previous LPs 'Len Parrot's Memorial Lift' (2002) and 'Floor Show' (2005), so much so that Dury refers to his new effort as seaside psychedelia. Its ten tracks narrate everyday tales of dancing on the patio in Marigolds and seedy sex in Portugal, yet Baxter's lyrical playfulness and acute character analysis ensure the songs are anything but mundane. Just take the amusing picture painted of London's Portobello Road in love song 'Trellic' or 'The Sun' in which Madelaine Heart's honeyed guest vocals swim in-between bursts of Baxter's mad, infectious laughter and colourful, rippling guitars. First single 'Claire' meanwhile slings his cockney charm around bus fare funk and unforgettable bass hooks. It's not quite all rainbows and carousels though had Joy Division scored a Batman soundtrack, the looping bass and menacing spoken-drawl of 'Picnic On The Edge' would undoubtedly have made the cut. £9.00 Thu 23rd February, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/145540 Music - General event/145540 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 £8.00 Thu 23rd February, 2012 8.00pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/146050 Music - General event/146050 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 A very special evening featuring the best folk acoustic music artists from across the country in the intimate surroundings of The Slaughtered Lamb.

THE FUJII The Fujii are: Koichi Fujishima (Fuji') - National Steel Guitar and Vocals Paul Shearsmith - Pocket Trumpet, Tuned Gas Main, Baliphone and Amazonian Hand Flute. The Fujii bring the blues to the twenty first century in a way that many critics have acclaimed as being at once, more authentic and more groundbreaking than many other artists who continue to explore this traditional music.They fuse deep traditional blues and extraordinary blues singing [in Japanese] with various Japanese folk and classical. Meanwhile Shearsmith's heritage, as an alumni of John Stevens' free music melting pot and member of sonic sculpture outfit Echo City, brings a further avant garde edge to the sound. 'Questions of authenticity are redundant with music this faithful to the Delta blues spirit'. - Mike Barnes, The WIRE 'their first song was a raucous country style blues that inspired me to exclaim that I had not heard such an intense blues performance since seeing Son House at the 100 Club in 1967.' - Charlie Gillet after the bands performance at the 2002 Thames Festival. 'this extraordinary thing....a blues slide player from Japan and a bloke from Kentish Town who blows down a gas main...It's an unlikely combination, but it works' - Andy Kershaw Mike Cooper writing in Folk Roots stated 'their music is a true piece of outsider folk art. 'Fuji is truer to the spirit of Delta blues than a number of self-professed expert exponents of this music, the resulting music is never less than beautiful and at times quite stunning' - Michael Prince in Blues in Britain £6.00 Thu 23rd February, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/151735 Music - General event/151735 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Monthly showcase of hotly tipped emerging bands and singers.

This is a surprise when you meet him. None so modest and self-deprecating. This is no actor. Honesty should be his middle name. Heartbreaking songs or simple life observations with lush orchestration played with such a refreshing honesty. You can't say Al is trying to be anything. He's just Al. It's since beginning simply to just write what he sees that he has produced some amazing work. Woodditton Wives Club mark one was a collection of songs recorded on one mic in his garage, after losing his job and becoming a full time stay at home dad in rural Cambridgeshire after ten years in London. Somehow one day Ashton Kutcher tweeted about Al and the following day saw a gazillion listens to his myspace. Since hitting the ground again he's raised the cash for a proper recording of the aforementioned Woodditton Wives Club (via Sellaband) and also a trip to the USA for his first shows in New York, Austin Texas, and Los Angeles. In a nutshell its like this: Liverpool boy moves to Cambridge via University in London. Writes and records songs chronicling his move from the city to the country, with wife and two girls. Gets attention of Hollywood superstar Ashton Kutcher, among others. Think Harry Nillson, Paul McCartney, Big Star, Graham Nash. £9.50 Fri 24th February, 2012 7:30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/140903 Music - General event/140903 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0100 The Intercessions series explores an unusual musical format which intersperses short passages of written music by contemporary, classical or baroque composers with passages of free improvisation, separated by short silences. This will be the second Intercessions event. The format produces startling and extreme contrasts of style, but beyond this it can also result in subtle influences that impact on the process of improvisation, casting sudden shafts of illumination on to the extemporised responses of the musicians. The lively acoustic of Shoreditch Church generates a very special atmosphere in which shifts of mood and musical form can touch the listener in unexpected ways, granting the instruments a sumptuous tonal richness.

Satoko Fukuda is an award winning classically trained violinist who has performed all over the world under the auspices of the Concordia Foundation, but she is also that rare creature a classical musician who can improvise her socks off. Here she is joined by Niko Meinhold, a composer and pianist from Berlin, trained in everything from jazz piano to 12 tone improvisation. Niko recently stunned a Café Oto audience when he was the guest performer for a 'piano concerto' with the London Improvisers Orchestra. Noel Taylor, on clarinet, is the instigator of this series, bringing together musicians that he has performed with in completely different situations for this specific project. Guillaume Viltard has put down some outstanding performances in the past months, both as a soloist and with the Tony Marsh Trio. He plays with his whole body in a highly physical style that moves from the abstract to the lyrical.

None of us in the group really understand what "world music‟ means, we just absorb what we like and play what we please. Alejandro Toledo Triumphant performances at festivals across Europe, including raucous showings at WOMAD and Larmer Tree in the UK, are amongst the year's highlights. With members hailing from Italy, Portugal and Costa Rica (in addition to Argentina), the group have woven together a cohesive, lithe and exuberant sound, despite their varied musical backgrounds. Elements of Balkan, gypsy, jazz and flamenco music (all performed with an assured swagger), coupled with their energetic live shows, have invited comparisons to bands such as Gogol Bordello, Mano Negra (Manu Chao), Rodrigo y Gabriela and Fanfare Ciocarlia. I love the music these guys come out with, great energy Maxi Jazz (Faithless) They don't do energetic, they do nuclear!

For the last three years, Django Django have been busy doing great things in the East London bedroom slept in by their drummer, producer and de facto leader David Maclean. The result of those great things is a great self-titled debut record. Amid all the diverse moods and ideas of Django Django (all there, perhaps, as the imagination wanders to stave off bedroom boredom?) it's a lyric from Silver Rays that most capably sums up its parent album. We venture out into the great uncharted, sings Neff, go far away from any beaten track Enjoy it now before it's far departed, you know that once it's gone that there'll be no way back. The lyrics can be read as a desire to explore first, and a tribute to what Dixon calls their decision to stick to their guns when outside forces tried to convince them to forget everything they'd seen. "A lot of people expected us to ditch our recordings and start all over again, but that was never something we wanted to do. It's great to have a body of work something you can point to, and say this is the story so far. £7.50 Mon 27th February, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/150972 Music - General event/150972 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 AUTHORITIES (Stockton, CA) Legendary KBD punk band from Stockton California, Authorities were formed in 1978 and has played over the years with bands such as DOA, the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Agent Orange and many others. In 1982 the Authorities released the much sought after Soundtrack for Trouble EP. The Soundtrack for Trouble is now available again on Get Hip Recordings .They also released the Bourbon Decay EP (Out of Print) which was recorded with Gary Young of Pavement and appeared on numerous punk rock compilations. And three decades after inception, the band has a new album, Kung Pao Au-Go Go, on the Get Hip Recordings label. Kung Pao Au Go-Go is a collection of songs that were mostly penned back in the day but never recorded. The 13-song album features a lineup that got road-tested in 2010, when the Authorities were invited to play the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in England, on a bill curated by Pavement. This latest edition of the Authorities includes original members Brian Thalken on guitar and Curtis Clyde Hall on vocals, along with newer members Iain Ross on guitar, Graham Johnston on bass and Evan Stuart on drums, all of whom live in Vancouver along with Thalken, who moved there in 1989. As a companion to the new album, Get Hip Recordings is also releasing a four-song tribute EP titled The More Things Chang The More They Stay the Same, which features the four songs from the band's landmark 1982 Soundtrack for Trouble EP redone by Screeching Weasel, Circus Tents, Alcoholics Unanimous and Tesco Vee's Hate Police. www.facebook.com/Authorities WONK UNIT South London poetry and punk treasures.

It only happens once every four years and for 2012 we bring you two rather mind-boggling live instrumental bands. THE WINCHESTER CLUB "...the last whisperings between Mogwai's frail mother and Godspeed You Black Emperor's great-grandfather" - DAZED AND CONFUSED Performing both quiet/beautiful and loud/noir music since 2000, The Winchester Club only really got into gear eight years later due to members commitments to other bands. After Exile On Mainstream released their debut album "Britannia Triumphant" in 2008, The Winchester Club toured mainly in Europe and in 2011 they released the follow-up Negative Liberty which got lots of fine reviews here in the UK. Although mostly based in London, you won't find The Winchester Club playing live very much, and we're delighted they're playing Leap Day 2012. Who knows, they might come back in another four years. Negative Liberty is a beautifully measured and masterfully arranged work a truly beautiful journey in sound. 8/10 WHISPERIN' AND A HOLLERIN' http://www.thewinchesterclub.org/ CLORINDE Avant-folk multi-instrumentalist three piece Clorinde make extensive use of acoustic and electric instruments (banjos, guitars , vibraphones, African kalimbas, zithers, clarinet, bass, electric organ, various drums and percussions) extrapolated from their context and processed through electronic devices and amplification, bringing an enchanting and exciting flavour of rhythmic psychedelic post-folk. http://clorinde.org £4.00 Wed 29th February, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/148864 Music - General event/148864 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Like an early 20th-century Elliott from ET (minus the BMX basket/alien), a be-suited man flies through the sky on his bone-shaker bicycle.

Meanwhile, without the backing of a label or manager, between tours the couple has rustled up a cottage industry at their cozy Nottingham home.

Their musical style identifies with straight rock and roll mixed in with southern blues rock influence, then add a bit of classic 60's sounding guitar inspiration. The band was formed in Ocean City, NJ playing out at clubs and bars all over the South Jersey area and gaining national attention via the cover of Atlantic City Weekly in October '10. The band now resides in Brooklyn, NY, and has been seen playing shows throughout the city at hotspots such as Brooklyn Bowl, Cameo Gallery, and Bowery Electric. PBL has already been receiving attention as they were introduced on MusicVagabond, one of the top NYC music sites and their single "State Of I" from 2010's Heavy Daze Wildcat Craze EP was on episode 421 of CW's hit show Gossip Girl.

This time she will be accompanied by the Chutzpah! trio each of whom is a virtuoso performer in his own right. Yair Schleider, on piano, accordion, and guitar is a dynamic member of the London klezmer scene, who started his career as an Israeli Indie-Rock musician before joining the UK band Funk Federation, of which he is still a member. Dave Shulman on clarinet is well-known to audiences at the Green Note for his playing of traditional gypsy, jazz and klezmer with his own Shulman Band and it is Dave who provides the true East European flavour to the Chutzpah! mix. Yair and Dave are joined by Paul Moylan on double bass. Paul has played his double bass across the world, including tours to Japan, Malaysia with the Michael Garrick Jazz Orchestra, Italy and Germany and Belgium. Paul has performed on several recordings, played for for TV including Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) and was both seen and heard on East-Enders. He has performed with many of London's leading Klezmer Bands including Gregori Schechter, and appeared on Hilda's latest CD 'Yiddish Songs with Chutzpah!' Hilda Bronstein is one of the Europe's leading exponents of Yiddish song. In a recent review, Adam Greenberg of CD review wrote that 'Bronstein herself is the star of the show, with a deep, throaty, almost Marlene Dietrich-like... intonation'.

He is Irish and nice. Live, she plays with a super group band of ex-Reuben and Hold Your Horse Is members. How about that. http://www.facebook.com/KatieMalco THE LIFTMEN Even though they've released a full album and contributed several tracks on Twisted Nerve compilations, no one has quite been able to pin down The Liftmen's sound. They've been compared to Captain Beefheart, Gorky's, Young Marble Giants, Blonde Redhead, The Sea and Cake and Sonic Youth often in the same song. Their second album for Manchester's fine twisted Nerve label is due out in November. 'The band are not only quite unlike anything else around at the moment but quite bizarre even by Twisted Nerve standards. The atonal strumming of 'Belly Can' combines garage rock frivolousness with new wave abrasion, and the whole album seems to be laced with a woozy preoccupation with the absurd. Intriguing stuff.' - Boomkat http://www.myspace.com/theliftmen £5.00 Thu 1st March, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/147777 Music - General event/147777 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 PRINZHORN DANCE SCHOOL released their debut album on DFA records in 2008 and it was clear from the start that some people got it whilst others were left mystified - including the Guardian reviewer who gave it two different ratings (just to be sure). Three years later and the world has caught up with the starkness and sombre wit of their debut and it nestles quite comfortably with the grain of hope witnessed on their current single 'Seed, Crop , Harvest'. Tobin Prinz (Voice, guitar, drums) and Suzi Horn (Voice, Bass, Drums) we're determined to bring in some colour and tenderness to their second album, however with optimism in place, the music never forgets the realism of living in a somewhat maligned World.

Their electronic beats thud with gut-rattling low end; guitars are distorted siren squalls, or heavily gated and thoroughly crunched power chords, or playful, beta-band-esque strums. Lead singer Krauss flips easily from hip-hop hook, to pop power, to sunshined, coquettish coos. The band have experienced a rapid ratcheting up in popularity as word has spread about their brutal, clever pop and compulsive live shows. £13.50 Thu 1st March, 2012 7.00pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/150485 Music - General event/150485 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 £7.50 Thu 1st March, 2012 8.00pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/150608 Music - General event/150608 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Kaparte Promotions presents: SIEBEN (MATT HOWDEN) 'No Less Than All' London's album launch with special guests: BIRD RADIO THESE FEATHERS HAVE PLUMES Sieben is vocalist and violinist Matt Howden's one-man show.

'Sheffield-based musician Matt Howden is one of the leading lights of the European neo-calssical and folk scene, well-known for his virtuoso violin playing and productions. 'Sieben is his solo project, a blending of distinctively English pastoralism with darker undercurrents of heathen mythology and earthy eroticism'. - JudasKiss - http://www.matthowden.com/ Other Sieben shows: 04 FEB 2012 - DE Leipzig @ Theater Fabrik 18 FEB 2012 - Sheffield @ The Riverside 17 MARCH 2012 - AT Vienna @ Viper Room, RITES Festival Special support guest will be Bird Radio. London based musician Mikey Kirkpatrick is an act with a broad spectrum of inspirations: "Bird" because of the flutes. "Radio" because of the technology he uses. "Herefordshire's Mikey Kirkpatrick loops flutes, bones, a red kick drum suitcase and his own very un-ethereal vocals to create an intensely curious mash-up between electronic music and traditional folk tales." - Critics Choice - Timeout http://www.birdradio.co.uk/ Opening guest: These Feathers Have Plumes Andie Brown is a musician from London who began playing music as a bass guitarist, working with experimental band Cindytalk in her late teens. An interest in sound and experimentation led Andie to begin working as These Feathers Have Plumes in 2007, creating sonic landscapes using traditional and non-traditional instrumentation (primarily double bass and glass), found-sound and field recordings, manipulated and composed using digital media. Andie has a particular interest in bringing space and place into her work, often using field-recording as a basis to bring a feeling and essence of physical space into the compositions she creates. Andie has released work in New York and London and has had work included in a group sound-art show at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts. http://www.thesefeathershaveplumes.com/ More info: http:// www.kaparte.info £6.00 Thu 1st March, 2012 7.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/151114 Music - General event/151114 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Organic- Cold wave grooviness embracing early Human League, Fini Tribe, ACR and early Ultravox!- works well.

He released yet another fine album of songs, got a backing band together and supported Willie Nelson! 2012 promises to get even better and for the first time he brings his band - The Bold Party - to the UK. This Midwesterner's voice will put you in a spell. It's one of the most pristine exemplars of country music's honeyed heartbreak in ages. Making it cut even deeper are echoes of bluegrass and gospel, and we're proud to welcome Austin back to the Windmill for the fifth time in as many years. Tired of the same old same old country-flavoured troubadors?

Lead track "Cecilie" was A-listed on NME Radio for seven weeks in a row.

Voted one of the Bands to watch in 2012 in 'Vive le Rock' magazine! *** RKC *** RKC formerly known as Roses Kings Castles was first conceived in 2007, originally intended as an underground platform for Adam Ficek to air the songs that were too 'odd pop' for his band Babyshambles. The initial eponymously titled album was released in 2008 on Adam's own label 'The Sycamore club' receiving cult critical acclaim. The Debut was followed a year later by the 'Apples & engines' ep and then in 2010 by the second long player 'Suburban Timebomb' at which point RKC had evolved into a six piece touring band, creating a much bigger noise...

On 2010's debut album (Happy Happy Birthday To Me Recordings), you had to listen closely to hear the Blondie, to hear the Abba, to hear the pop. Some people just heard noise. Some people thought it was glorious. The album received rave reviews including one from "The Legend" Everett True, and a top-5 end of year placing on the BBC's website which led to a successful East Coast USA tour in Spring 2011 and a prestiged slot at Athens Popfest supporting Throwing Muses. The bands second album Minima Moralia was released in 2011, with this record, Tunabunny make a shift from noise towards melody, from chaos towards structure, from indifference towards rapture. It signals a Tunabunny more pop, yet more intense; more accessible, yet more desperate; more comforting, and yet more uncomfortable. "The greatest band from Athens, Georgia since Pylon; Tunabunny's half-songs are fuller than most songs around for the simple reason that they haven't had the spirit and imagination and inspiration bashed and bullied out of them." (Everett True BBC) http://www.facebook.com/Tunabunny SHRAG An exhilarating blend of dirty, distorted post-punk guitars, shouty riot grrl-style vox and fantastic pop songs, alongside nods to everyone from Le Tigre to Penetration. Their debut album garnered comparisons to Love is All, Gang of Four and B-52s, and led to a UK tour supporting The Cribs, appearances at both London Popfest and Indietracks festivals, and a session for Marc Riley on BBC 6music. Their second album Life! Death! Prizes! was released on WIAWYA Records in October 2010 and was named Album of the Month in Artrocker Magazine. The band are currently finishing off working on their third album due for release early 2012 on Fortuna POP! (Crystal Stils, Herman Dune, Allo Darlin') and WIAIWYA. "A spectacularly bitter indie girls-set-on-stun dual vocal attack, in what is one of the better bands to juxtapose schmindie twee and angered literary abstraction since 1990s unsung legends Prolapse." (The Guardian) http://www.myspace.com/shrag ETHICAL DEBATING SOCIETY The Ethical Debating Society began as the pseudonym for Tegan Christmas, who began writing anti-love songs on her hooty piano, but quickly blossomed into a full band, now with Kris-Martin on guitar, Rob Macabre playing pots and pans and Su singing her art out. 4 songwriters. 4 attitude problems. 4 adverts for national service: they are The Ethical Debating Society.

From his early days with the Happy Family in the 1980s through his digital troubadour incarnations of the 2000s, Nicholas Currie has lent his style to Pulp, Beck, the Divine Comedy, and others while remaining fiercely political and uncompromising in his artistic vision. Originally from Scotland, he now lives in Osaka, Japan. "Nick Currie's musical career now looks like a long detour on his way to his destiny as discreetly subversive international Man Of Letters." UNCUT "It's a 21st century lounge music, which draws all manner of material into its studied insouciance: 1980s electronica (Sylvian & Sakamoto's 1982 masterpiece "Bamboo Music" is referenced on "Bubble Music"); post-punk (the album includes a cover of Josef K's "Adoration"); "Everything Stops For Tea"-style pre-war skit-pop (as used on "Is There Sex In Marriage?"). The highlight is "Datapanik", a sardonically tender meditation on how a computer crash now means the loss of irretrievable memory objects."

Not because he's been endlessly touring or pursuing some wild dream, but because of life the life of a kid going to college, being in love, dealing with heartache, and just living. Youth Lagoon isn't me, says Powers, It's merely a part of me. I was in and out of different bands in high school and always tried to define myself by what music I played. I tried to find a sense of meaning by being in a band. But it wasn't until this last year when I realized I was more than just music that I was able to create music that means something to me. And that is Youth Lagoon. Throughout the course of 2010, Powers began to write an album about things he had a hard time talking about. He claims that when he tries to talk about it to people, he doesn't make sense. So he wrote an album about it entitled The Year of Hibernation. For my whole life I've dealt with extreme anxiety. says Powers. Not anxiety about passing a test or somewhat normal things, but weird.. bizarre things. Things that only I know. I sometimes feel like I'm literally being eaten up inside. So I started writing these songs. Not just songs about my anxiety, but about my past and my present. Songs about memories, and all those feelings that those bring. I know that if I can be honest about what is inside my mind, there will be others that will be able to relate to it. Although his music seems somewhat dreamy with the first listen, the lyrics show a different side to the matter. Hidden beneath the melodies is a voice that is eerie yet nostalgic. Powers claims his music is like letting people read his journal. I don't think I could ever write a completely happy album. It's not that I'm not a happy person, claims Powers, but I just have too many things in my mind that haunt me.

Teenage band line ups ebbed and flowed until Rosie's first modest taste of fame and fortune arrived whilst fronting Rosie and The Goldbug. Press, radio and TV followed, culminating with international tour shows with one of Rosie's childhood heroes, Cyndi Lauper. 'The Neon Nightmare Tour' in spring 2012 sees Rosie embark on a new, exciting solo adventure armed only with a keyboard, a guitar amp and a microphone.

The band released their sixth album 'on the ones and threes' on Merge records in 2011 to critical acclaim and are in the UK at the behest of JEFF MANGUM (NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL) for ATP. Richard and Fontaine were to remain the two core members throughout the band's history. The band was noted for their marriage of indie pop songwriting and vocal harmonies to the "loud-soft" dynamics of grunge and alternative rock. They were also noted for their proficient and disciplined musicianship and for their credo of "meat, sports and rock", neither of which had much currency in the early 1990s American indie scene. They named themselves after the Mission of Burma album Vs. Versus has counted at least one, usually two and sometimes three of the Filipino-American Baluyut brothers as members throughout its existence, and was perhaps the most prominent example of a wave of American indie bands emerging in the early 1990s which featured Asian American members. Merge Records was Versus' most recent record label, although they have maintained a long involvement with TeenBeat Records, and released two CDs through Caroline Records in the mid 1990s. The band makes an appearance in the 1994 cult roadmovie Half-cocked. "In some ways, Versus were the quintessential indie rock band. Versus' growth throughout the decade, from mawkish noise-popists beholden to their underground-approved influences (on 1993's The Stars Are Insane) to mature, reliable, genre-bounding songwriters (on 2000's Hurrah) mirrors the growth, for better or worse, of the genre as a whole. The group's two Caroline Records releases-- 1996's Secret Swingers, and 1998's Two Cents Plus Tax-- sound as close as most any other records to a definitive indie rock sound" Pitchfork 6.3-'one the ones and threes' http://www.mergerecords.com/artists/versus http://www.myspace.com/versusnyc http://www.facebook.com/pages/Versus-NYC/132984790068644 http://teenbeat.net/artists/versus.html /////////SuPpOrtS////////SuPpOrtS//////SuPpOrtS////////SuPpOrtS/////////////// smallgang http://www.damnably.com/smallgang/ smallgang are a half-japanese London based quartet fronted by two lead guitar toting baritone voiced brothers that have been making a name for themselves with volcanic live shows exploding tight poppy post-punk with effortless complexity and crazed solo's. Gideon Co BBC 6musice: "rather good" Artrocker: "deceptively deadpan songs often mutate into noisy but controlled thrashing. (Cockpit) is a particularly fine tune." God Is In The TV: "certain clockwork precision, howls of guitar noise over angular melodies, with two vocalists lending either an arch-Neil Hannon vibe on songs like Cockpit or a touch of Ian Curtis on others.

Description of score: This is one of Cage's most ambitious works. It comprises over 48 actual songs and 42 instructions for 'theatre' (Fluxus-like 'actions' for the most part) which are performed at random start times within a set period. The scores are very diverse and cover almost every approach to experimenting with notation that Cage used: from conventional music to the most abstract. The libretto is also very varied and covers most of Cage's interests from mushrooms to anarchy. Each 'song' is designated to be either with or without electronics. Each one is also to be cognisant of 'the space between Satie and Thoreau' or not, which I think defines Cage's notion of the avant garde in a nutshell. Intention of project: This is to raise the question of the place of visual performance within experimental musics. The older core performers were in the Scratch Orchestra which was deeply imbued with a visual dimension going back to Cardew's earlier composition 'Treatise' and brought to the fore in Scratch performances by the activities of the Slippery Merchants. It is also an attempt to bring Scratch experience into a critical collision with a contemporaneous John Cage in collaboration with a younger generation of performers and composers. John Tilbury: "Cage achieved mythical status but Cardew was a legend". Performers will include: Stefan Szczelkun; Peter Ellison Carole Finer Carolyn R, John Tilbury (all above ex Scratch Orchestra) Eve Libertine, Geri McEwan Ali Warner, Renate Biruls, Sharon Gal Portia Winters Robbie Lockwood Lucy Galland Electronics by: t.b.c.

He grew up listening to Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin, and combines Kanye West-style R&B, Motown groove and Stax horns with a great, way-over-the-top live show. He's become an arena artist in France, and after he sang his soul version of White Stripes' Seven Nation Army on Later with Jools Holland, he played London Jazz Festival to a packed, ecstatic audience. "Ben l'Oncle Soul is a soul singer of enormous charm, equally at home singing Ray Charles-style R&B, Willie Mitchell's funk-soul and Solomon Burke-esque deep soul. His version of Seven Nation Army re-routes The White Stripes via Jamaica then Memphis, devising a reggae-infused soul setting for a delivery replete in emotional insight. A multi-platinum success at home, the smoky tinge to Ben's voice works well against the punchy Motown groove and Stax-y horns of Soulman." - Independent £20.00 Mon 12th March, 2012 7pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/145168 Music - General event/145168 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Strictly over 14s.

The new single is planned for early March and it the band's debut album is scheduled for May 14. The band begin their second UK tour on February 27. Early last year, Cave Painting tiptoed into people's ears with an online free download called 'Leaf' and a much talked about debut gig at a tiny club, the Social in London .The ripple effect spread when they streamed a demo of 'Midnight Love' along with a stunning one-minute promo clip of the same name. Bloggers blogged, labels talked, and by the time Cave Painting played their second show at Proud Galleries they were signed to Hideout Records on a major long term deal. The five piece band, Adam Kane (vocals), Sam Simon (keyboards/vocals), Jonathan McCawley (drums), Richard Snabel (bass/vocals) and Harry Smallwood (guitar) came together as a band in Brighton and they all live in Brighton but strangely none of them are actually FROM Brighton. In one of those fortunate moments of synchronicity they were all looking for the same things in the same city at the same time. Having signed their record deal, the band immediately went into the studio with respected producer Barny Barnicott. The results are on 'You Be Running Soon' a four track EP accompanied by a remarkable 10 minute long film called 'Midnight Love, which was conceived and directed by a young film maker friend of the band's Tom Sargeant. The dramatic lead track from the EP, Midnight Love itself was debuted by Zane Lowe on his highly regarded show. A second song from the EP, 'Rio' is also now the subject of a stunningly original video (co-directed by Robin Antiga and Jimmy Ahlander) . Indeed, quick glance at Cave Painting's You Tube page illustrates clearly the band's philosophy of attaching beautiful music to delightful imagery. Sandwiched between the recording of this EP debut and its much praised release, the guys played their first extended UK live tour. The tour, culminating in a fabulous show as special guests to Chapel Club in Cave Painting's own Brighton backyard, (Komedia), was a great success and plans are already in hand for extensive live work this year. The band are currently in the studio with Barny Barnicott (Artic Monkeys/Kasabian) putting the finishing touches to their album. 2012 promises to be a very busy year for Cave Painting. £5.00 Wed 14th March, 2012 8pm-12am http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152514 Music - General event/152514 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 5 Stonking metal bands for under a fiver.

Over three decades, the New Jersey-based performer has produced what Amazon.com calls a "catalogue of superbly crafted albums." As a teenager, he became enthralled by the greater New York area's rich music scene, discovering a holy musical trinity in the work of Otis Redding, Bob Dylan, and Hank Williams, and their guiding lights of passion, literary dexterity and plainspoken honesty led his music to feel equally informed by Memphis soul, Greenwich Village folk and Nashville twang.

One of the most enduring qualities of music lies in its ability to be transportative - the very best songs can take you, almost instantly, to a specific moment in time, or perhaps a particular location, even evoke a specific emotion. It is an immutable relationship we have with the music we listen to, and it is one which the London duo of Elizabeth Sankey and Jeremy Warmsley, aka Summer Camp realise so perfectly, crafting twinkling, pristine pop gems which sound as though they could have been discovered in a trunk in an attic, glinting and glittering like jewels at the bottom of the sea. £9.50 Wed 21st March, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/145542 Music - General event/145542 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 THE URBAN FOLK QUARTET www.theufq.com MORE INFO: www.pulluptheroots.co.uk @putroots www.theslaughteredlambpub.com £11.50 Wed 21st March, 2012 7.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/147779 Music - General event/147779 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 THE URBAN FOLK QUARTET www.theufq.com MORE INFO: www.pulluptheroots.co.uk @putroots www.theslaughteredlambpub.com £9.50 Wed 21st March, 2012 7.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/147780 Music - General event/147780 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Double bill presenting two artists with radically different approaches to generating waves of immersive sound. Jon Mueller's snare rolls and tape concerto 'I Almost Expect to be Remembered as a Chair' and Pimmon sharing fine-grained torrents of sound from his laptop. JON MUELLER As a drummer and percussionist, Jon Mueller has performed solo and in various groupings throughout North America, Europe, and Japan. His recordings have been released by record labels such as Table of the Elements, Polyvinyl Records, Type Recordings, Jagjaguwar, Hometapes, and many others. Over the past 25 years, Mueller has become increasingly focused on recognizing the dialog between sound and the situation it's presented in, often bypassing standard approaches to percussion and considering acoustics and concepts surrounding the work in order to create a larger experience for those listening. The experience of sound, both on it's own and in performance, can be intense, personal, and physically effective. Mueller has worked with members of the groups Swans, Wilco, Bon Iver, and Rhys Chatham's Guitar Trio, as well as being a founding member of the groups Pele, Collections of Colonies of Bees, and Volcano Choir. He has also collaborated with artists such as James Plotkin, Marcus Schmickler, Bhob Rainey, Dan Burke, Asmus Tietchens, Lionel Marchetti, Z'EV, Jason Kahn, Jack Wright and many others. PIMMON Over the past decade and a half, Pimmon (aka Paul Gough) has carved out a unique space for himself by producing a series of masterfully executed excursions into abstract electronic sound. The so-called 'Godfather of Australian Laptop music' Pimmon is recognised internationally as one of a handful of artists pushing the boundaries of music and digital composition. His music creates a dense, emotive, compelling and challenging listening experience through a combination of pop, minimal composition, exotic drones and field recordings. With his latest edition 'The Oansome Orbit' for Lawrence English's ROOM40 imprint, he strikes out at some of his most harmonic territory to date, merging washes of rich tone against irregular grids of texture. The results are wholly individual and utterly consuming. "The Oansome Orbit is about connection and disconnection. In playing with micro loops of sound - macro listening worlds are made; universes of white noise wash, blurry melancholic tones, jagged granular debris. As all these seemlingly disconnected sounds orbit each other, often I feel transported to somewhere vast - distant - majestic; yet in the process I feel a great sense of loss, being 'oansome'."- Pimmon Paul has recorded for various international labels including Tigerbeat6 (US) Sirr (Portugal) and Fat Cat (UK). He was also part of collaboration between Oren Ambarchi, Fennesz, Peter Rehberg and Keith Rowe that recorded the recently reissued 'Afternoon Tea' and has forthcoming releases scheduled: 'Lay Down Real Slow' [Stunned Records] and a collaboration with Fabio Orsi 'Procrastination' on Home Normal. A tireless champion of outsider sounds, Paul has worked in the Radio/Broadcast industry for 29 years and currently hosts the eclectic ambient program, The Quiet Space for ABC Radio National. £8.00 Wed 21st March, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/148532 Music - General event/148532 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 £8.00 Thu 22nd March, 2012 7.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/111116 Music - General event/111116 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 'Hello Sadness' is the fourth record by Los Campesinos!, and if 2009's 'Romance Is Boring' marked a giant step on from their genesis - seven kids and a glockenspiel, ricocheting off the four walls of a Cardiff rehearsal room. Gone is the hypertense, panic-attack rattle that characterised 'We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed', and the melancholy wallow that you heard in corners of 'Romance Is Boring' is in short supply. Play it more, though, and you hear an emotion that comes from somewhere softer, deeper, and - dare we say it - more authentic. £13.50 Thu 22nd March, 2012 7pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/143972 Music - General event/143972 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 Masaaki Yoshida, aka Anchorsong, plays a very special live set as he starts a round-the-world tour supporting his debut album Chapters out Nov 28th on Tru Thoughts records.

PETE FIJ AND TERRY BICKERS Returning to the music scene after years of hibernation, we present, united, two former artists from the legendary Creation records label of the 80s and 90s. One of the best guitarists of his generation (NME even awarded him the accolade "a guitar god"), Terry Bickers was a pivotal member of The House of Love, one of Creation's flagship acts during the pre-Britpop years, and led by the charismatic Guy Chadwick. The band's first, eponymous album remains a classic of late 80s indie. Bickers had already left by the time of the band's acrimonious break-up to form space-rockers Levitation, who enjoyed success with a slew of glorious EPs and an album, 'Need For Not', on Rough Trade. Pete Fij, meanwhile, had a concurrent career with Adorable, authors of the classic early 90s anthem 'Sunshine Smile' and the album 'Against Perfection'. He followed Adorable's break-up with Polak, formed with his brother, who would go on to release two low-key albums on the One Little Indian label, during which time the Independent on Sunday labelled him "the most under-rated lyricist since Jarvis Cocker last put pen to paper". The two have already played to audiences in Germany, France, and Spain, and are set to release 'Broken Hearted Surgery', a mature, semi-acoustic album which they have described as "like a three-in-the-morning jam in which Johnny Cash, The Velvet Underground, and The Everly Brothers try not to wake the neighbours". www.facebook.com/petefijterrybickers LAST HARBOUR An expansive Manchester collective playing brooding, cinematic music, Last Harbour have opened for the likes of The Dirty 3, Michael Gira (Swans), Josh T Pearson, and previous Pennyblackmusic headliners Willard Grant Conspiracy. Along the way, they've birthed a number of epic and compelling albums, with a new one, 'Your Heart, It Carries The Sound', on its way. Released on their own Little Red Rabbit label and produced by Richard Fornby (ex-Spacemen 3) in a church, 'Your Heart...' is a stripped down and sparser offering when contrasted with 'Volo', their previous offering - a dense album that mixed intense full-band compositions and classical arrangements with interspersed French poetry and looped passages of treated sound. Their music has inspired accolades from Uncut, Drowedinsound.com, and Mojo, with the latter publication opining: "'Volo' exhibits so much literary dexterity and multi-instrumental skill you feel almost duty-bound to surrender". Don't miss what s! hould be an intense and bewitching set. www.lastharbour.co.uk THE OWL SERVICE The Owl Service formed in Leigh-on-Sea in 2006, their moniker rooted in Alan Garner's 1967 children's novel which reimagined medieval Welsh legend 'The Mabinogion'. Recalling British folk-rockers Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and Pentangle, but refracted with psychedelic and acid-rock touches, their sound is haunting and eccentric enough to feel like something that could appear in the film 'The Wicker Man'. Over two albums and a prolific release of EPs, the band have refined their folk-rock laden sound; their sophomore long-player, 'The View From A Hill', released on their own Riff Mountain label, features guest appearances from Joolie Wood (of Current 93 and James Blackshaw), and ex-Mellow Candle singer Alison O'Donnell. www.riffmountain.com ROSHI FEATURING PARS RADIO Roshi Nahesi is a London-based singer of Iranian heritage who grew up in Wales. Her dream-like songs, influenced by Persian folk traditionals and childhood memories, weave cello, keyboards and electronics around her intimate voice to unique effect, as evidenced on her album 'The Sky and the Caspian Sea'. She has been described by Mixmag as "one of the most singular voices working at the moment" and is a regular performer at some of London's most left-field clubs. Joining her will be Gagarin, aka Graham Dowdall, who has played and co-wrote songs with the legendary Nico of the The Velvet Underground, as well as recording and collaborating with John Cale, Suns of Arqua, David Thomas & Pere Ubu, and Cabaret Voltaire. www.myspace.com/roshisongs First act on 8:15pm www.pennyblackmusic.co.uk www.halfmoonpub.co.uk £6.00 Sat 24th March, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/151048 Music - General event/151048 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Northern Star Records presents: Revolution In Sound Northern Star is a record label dedicated to independent and underground sounds.

After creating explosions in the downtown NY art rock scene with the legendary DNA, Japanese-born Mori has become one of the world's most celebrated and respected improv auteurs. Since the turn of the century the Norwegian Ratkje has dazzled with her maverick vocal work, feted compositions and thrilling excoriations of pure noise. Their performances will vibrate with wild sonic colours, forged by a pair of musicians who span two generations of fearlessly inventive sound craft. IKUE MORI Ikue Mori left Tokyo for New York in 1977, began playing the drums and soon formed the legendary No Wave band DNA with Arto Lindsay and Tim Wright, appearing on the highly influential compilation No New York. DNA dissolved in the early 80s and Mori began experimenting with drum machines, developing a singular improv style with an instrument people rarely associate with instant composition. As her technique evolved, she moved onto working with a laptop around 2000. Over the past 3 decades, Mori has accrued an impressive reputation as an improvisor, testified by her stellar cast of collaborators, including John Zorn, Kim Gordon, Jim O'Rourke, Zeena Parkins, Mike Patton, Thurston Moore and an impressive discography courtesy of labels such as Tzadik and Mego. She regularly performs with Parkins as the duo Phantom Orchard and in various combinations with Zorn, and is a member of the trio Death Ambient with Fred Frith and Kato Hideki. Over 3 decades since her first impact on avant garde music, Ikue Mori's influence on musical explorers of all generations is still profound. Ikue Mori is one of the most respected musicians in the downtown scene, renowned for her abilities as an accomplished composer and improviser and as one of the foremost electronic music innovators (allmusic) MAJA S.K. RATKJE Maja S.K. Ratkje approaches music making with a broad palette and rare profundity. A graduate in composition from the Norwegian State Academy Of Music, her music is performed around the world by Oslo Sinfonietta, The Norwegian Radio Orchestra and many more. Ratkje is also a major force in the world of noise and improvisation and is renowned for her solo performances, her work as part of groups such as SPUNK and Fe-mail and collaborations with artists such as Jazzkammer, Joelle Leandre, Jaap Blonk, Zeena Parkins and Stephen O'Malley. Ratkje has an impressive discography of albums for labels such as Rune Grammofon, Important and ECM, and it is perhaps her album for John Zorn's Tzadik label, River Mouth Echoes, that best exemplifies the considerable dynamic range of her work. A collection of tracks recorded over a decade, it includes orchestral pieces, electro-acoustic compositions, voice manipulations and sheer harsh noise and perfectly showcases the breadth of her musical ambition. Anyone who has seen or heard Ratkje perform live will know what a superb musician she is, and one who can genuinely be said to be extending the expressive range of the voice through technical and technological means. Her work is celebratory and inclusive, an energising rallying call to those who are curious enough to peek out from behind the curtain of mainstream mediocrity (The Wire) This concert is part of a tour presented by Sound and Music and produced by [no.signal] and TUSK Music. www.no-signal.net www.tuskmusic.co.uk www.soundandmusic.org £10.00 Fri 30th March, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152388 Music - General event/152388 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 After years spent striving to get his voice heard, now Juan Zelada has finally struck that elusive record deal the last thing on his mind is popping champagne corks or putting his feet up and savouring the achievement for now. As anyone who knows Juan would expect, after years spent relentlessly traipsing his keyboard around the acoustic circuit - playing piano in restaurants, bars, weddings, cruise ships,... anywhere and everywhere - the hard-working singer/songwriter is focussed on taking his music and his band to the next level in 2012 with the imminent release of his debut album High Ceilings & Collar Bones on Decca Records. Juan giggly explains the album's title: It's about as random as it comes! It evokes images of concepts I am very fond of, images everyone likes: the aspirations you can have looking up to owning somewhere with high ceilings and getting excited about the sensuality and appealing nature of a woman's neckline! When High Ceilings & Collar Bones is released in January people will be able to decide on Juan's sound for themselves, and he hopes, venture out to see him live. People seeing us and enjoying us is great, they have done that for years, but people coming out specifically to see you is another thing, that's what I am looking forward to in 2012. And the banter on the road,... And the hangovers,... But mostly I am looking forward to the unexpected. Anything can happen,... And with Juan Zelada - who won't stop until he can view those high ceilings - it probably will. £8.00 Fri 30th March, 2012 7.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152577 Music - General event/152577 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Under 21s require ID to purchase alcohol Under 14 must be accompanied by an adult over 18 at all times After fans were left spilling out of a packed 5000 capacity Bohemia Tent at Sonisphere Festival 2011, InMe's loyal hordes could be excused for feeling the need for a full UK tour; if a 34‐date tour across the UK and Ireland doesn't prove that this is a band who give back what they get from their fans then not much else will... February 2012 will see InMe's fifth studio album, "The Pride", released; the tour schedule around the album will take in the sweatiest of venues around the UK and Ireland, from Plymouth to Aberdeen to Dublin, culminating in the slightly less intimate finale at London's Islington Academy. Joining InMe will be two of the UK's finest underground bands who will be announced in the coming weeks. At Sonisphere 2010 Kerrang witnessed "fans old and new celebrate a band who lionheartedly refuse to die", and it's this spirit driven by a desire to make and perform music as they have done since they were teens thrust into the spotlight in 2003 that makes InMe one of the most respected bands in the UK alternative rock scene. Last year saw them pack out The Garage in London for 4 album shows to coincide with their "Best Of" album, and 2012 will see the band truly move on to the next stage, a rebirth and progression all at once. "The Pride" will be released via Pledge Music, an innovative approach that puts the artists and their fans in control of the development of the album. Having seen the overwhelming support frontman Dave McPherson received for his solo album in March 2011 via the same route, it was clear to InMe that their fans would want to be involved in how "The Pride" was released. Starting in November, the InMe Pledge Music campaign will offer up a multitude of incentives to fans all pointed towards the ultimate goal of helping InMe reach as many fans as possible as they embark on the second phase of a journey that is far from over. £12.50 Sat 31st March, 2012 Doors 6.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/132355 Music - General event/132355 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0100 UNDER 16s WITH ADULT Electric Wizard bring the oblivion and ecstasy of their crushing doom to the HMV Forum in London on Saturday 31st March 2012 for a night of true psychedelic horror.

OREN AMBARCHI Oren Ambarchi is a composer and multi-instrumentalist with longstanding interests in transcending conventional instrumental approaches. His work focuses mainly on the exploration of the guitar, "re-routing the instrument into a zone of alien abstraction where it's no longer easily identifiable as itself. Instead, it's a laboratory for extended sonic investigation". (The Wire, UK). Oren Ambarchi's works are hesitant and tense extended songforms located in the cracks between several schools: modern electronics and processing; laminal improvisation and minimalism; hushed, pensive songwriting; the deceptive simplicity and temporal suspensions of composers such as Morton Feldman and Alvin Lucier; and the physicality of rock music, slowed down and stripped back to its bare bones, abstracted and replaced with pure signal. From the late 90's his experiments in guitar abstraction and extended technique have led to a more personal and unique sound-world incorporating a broader palette of instruments and sensibilities. On recent releases such as Grapes From The Estate and In The Pendulum's Embrace Ambarchi has employed glass harmonica, strings, bells, piano, drums and percussion, creating fragile textures as light as air which tenuously coexist with the deep, wall-shaking bass tones derived from his guitar. Ambarchi works with simple constructs and parameters; exploring one idea over an extended duration and patiently teasing every nuance and implication from each texture; the phenomena of sum and difference tones; carefully tended arrangements that unravel gently; unprepossessing melodies that slowly work their way through various permutations; resulting in an otherworldly, cumulative impact of patiently unfolding compositions. Ambarchi has performed and recorded with a diverse array of artists such as Fennesz, Otomo Yoshihide, Pimmon, Keiji Haino, John Zorn, Rizili, Voice Crack, Jim O'Rourke, Keith Rowe, Phill Niblock, Dave Grohl, Gunter Muller, Evan Parker, z'ev, Toshimaru Nakamura, Peter Rehberg, Merzbow and many more. Since 2004 Ambarchi has worked with American avant metal outfit Sunn 0))) contributing to many of their releases and side-projects including their Black One album from 2005 and the recent Monoliths & Dimensions release. Ambarchi has released numerous recordings for international labels such as Touch, Southern Lord, Table Of The Elements and Tzadik. In 2003 his live release Triste received an 'honourary mention' in the Prix Ars Electronica digital music category. On Audience of One, Oren Ambarchi, presents a four-part suite which moves from throbbing minimalism to expansive song-craft to ecstatic free-rock. While his previous solo albums for Touch have exhibited a clear progression towards augmenting and embellishing his signature bass-heavy guitar tones with fragile acoustic instrumentation, Audience of One, while also existing in clear continuity with his previous recordings, opens the next chapter in his catalogue of solo works. Remarkable in its confidence and breadth, but also in the sensuous immediacy of its details, this is the first time a single record has come close to encapsulating Ambarchi's musical personality in its full range and singularity; as, among other guises in addition to the guitar based solo-works he is best known for, electro-acoustic improviser with Keith Rowe, explorer of the outer limits of rock with Sunn O))) and Keiji Haino, and, in the epic yet faithful Ace Frehley cover which closes the record, classic rock enthusiast. DANIEL MENCHE Daniel Menche spills musical blood in a manner invested with a deeply personal sense of wonder and humanity that pours from the speaker channels, casting him as a totally singular figure in the world of audio limit-pushing. Gushing waterfalls, storms, throat, skin, heart, massive drums, kids choirs, acoustic instruments, pianos and organs, junk electronics, high tech electronics, garbage, dirt, gold and diamonds . . . There are no rules. Any and all sounds are possible conduits to music. There are absolutely no barriers or biases in what can be used. With scores of releases on cornerstone labels like Editions Mego, Important, Touch and Sub Rosa and close ties with a host of similarly broad-spectrum adventurers from Stephen O' Malley through to Vicki People Like Us Bennett, Menche is an invigorating and engrossing onstage force, whether coaxing relentless and all-enveloping waves of sound from his own body via metal objects and a bank of pedals or in accompaniment to his own eye-poppingly intense visual work, with the uncompromising majesty of the natural world a recurring theme. 'Guts', a new record of 'abused and thrashed piano noise', is out now on Editions Mego, and a 12, 'Quanta Of Light', drops soon as part of Touch Music's 'White Label Vinyl Series'. BJ NILSEN BJNilsen born in 1975. He has been active with experimental music for over 20 years. For the past 10 years he has been releasing albums on Touch, making music and sound design for documentary film, television and commercials. He is focused on the sound of nature and its effect on humans, field recordings and the perception of time and space as experienced through sound, offten electronically treated. BJNilsen has collaborated with Chris Watson, Hildur Gudnadottir, Philip Jeck and Stilluppsteypa amongst others. £10.00 Mon 2nd April, 2012 8PM http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/153012 Music - General event/153012 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 £8.50 Mon 2nd April, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/153513 Music - General event/153513 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 £12.50 Tue 3rd April, 2012 8.00pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/146398 Music - General event/146398 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 www.facebook.com/sharksuk £7.00 Tue 3rd April, 2012 7.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/147152 Music - General event/147152 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 £10.00 Tue 3rd April, 2012 8:00pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152444 Music - General event/152444 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 A sensational debut Sunday Times 'Album of the Week' 4/5 Q 4/5 Uncut To call Liz Green a one-off talent is something of a drastic under-statement Esquire Eccentric and rather magical 4/5 The Guardian live review A vital, vibrant, very English 21st Century musical force 4/5 The Sun O, Devotion! finally fulfils expectations 4/5 Daily Telegraph Her USP is her extraordinary voice 4/5 Metro O, Devotion! brims with depth, detail and fleet drama The Independent Lesser performers will be jealous as hell The Fly Wonderful 'Single of the Week' Guardian Guide A deliciously dark and serpentine journey 4/5 Daily Mirror Haunting and beautiful Sunday Times Her enchanting mix of muddy blues-tinged folk songs possess a warmth that gets immediately under your skin Music Week A surfeit of simple yet beautifully crafted songs 8/10 Drownedinsound O, Devotion! is a strong, fascinating debut that asserts Liz Green as a unique talent to be reckoned with thelineofbestfit £12.50 Tue 3rd April, 2012 7.30pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/152989 Music - General event/152989 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Dark Dark Dark mix Americana with Eastern European influences to create a unique blend of folk music. Hailing from Minneapolis, Dark Dark Dark released their second full length album, Wild Go, in October 2010 to critical acclaim. "Dark Dark Dark's true accomplishment here is how they mix sounds and influences so effortlessly. They comprise a tight, intuitive unit, especially when the instruments swirl together into an otherworldly eddy of sound." - Pitchfork "There are eastern European influences here rubbing up against Americana ones. There are spectral interludes and moments of muted drama. There are backing vocals that sound like a Balkan choir. There are varied rhythms, although mainly from the pre-rock era: imagine Mazzy Star if they were formed in 19th-century Prague" - The Guardian £10.00 Wed 4th April, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/148202 Music - General event/148202 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 £5.00 Wed 4th April, 2012 8pm http://www.wegottickets.com/af/143/event/150480 Music - General event/150480 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Guided Missile presents, for your pleasure ......
