Fresh Produce: Wylde + Gravelle + Salt

May 3rd, 2019

WYLDE:

Drawing influences from the likes of Interpol and Joy Division, Wylde are a female-led 4 piece Post Punk band that blurs the lines between melodic dream pop and shoegaze.

Their sound comprises of heavy reverberated guitars, feedback and heavy bass lines.

GRAVELLE:

A two-piece tour-de-force of synths, guitars and noise. They combine pounding electronic drums with punk guitars and dance grooves all wrapped up in a gothic aesthetic.

“Exquisitely frenetic synth madness”. THE HERALD

SALT:

An emotional intensity using a wide variety of influences. Powerful, broody, eclectic and dark.
Loud messy guitars, powerful bass and exhilarating drums backup an emotional eclectic vocal.

Just Announced: Pom Poko at Mash!

May 1st, 2019

Pom Poko and Guests – 13th October

We love this band so much! They were our top pick from this year’s Great Escape Festival so we’re thrilled that they have added an extra tour date just for us.

Between the quartet’s sweetly punky melodies and disco-fried art-rock eruptions, a spirit of free-firing, balls-out individuality courses through Pom Poko’s exhilarating debut album, ‘Birthday’, just released this February through Bella Union.

Their unique creativity curiously melds together tonal lurches and math rock guitar riffs that are barely tamed by a time signature or key. As admirers have heard, Pom Poko’s music sounds properly played and performed: no mere recitation, it’s the sound of four distinct personalities driving in divergent directions towards one destination.

Just Announced: Xiu Xiu!

April 30th, 2019

Xiu Xiu and Guests – 15th Nov

Xiu Xiu is the conduit for the uncompromising and unnervingly personal musical works of Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Jamie Stewart, plus a roll call of collaborators both in studio and onstage.. Streaming forth a ceaseless torrent of releases, side projects, art offerings and extensive international touring since 2002, Xiu Xiu’s music has veered from damaged avant-pop to artfully orchestrated rock, squalls of black-hearted noise and most bases around and between, ever served with a bruising honesty and intensity that has ripped out the hearts of a legion of obsessive listeners.

Latest Xiu Xiu album ‘Girl with Basket of Fruit’ (out Feb 2019) is a rowdier, yet more stylistically splenetic offering than 2017’s ‘Forget’, with the usual eye-catching list of collaborators this time including Eugene Robinson (Oxbow), Devin Hoff and Haitian percussionists Emmanuel Obi and Ayo Okafor.

For 2019 live operations Xiu Xiu is manifest in the form of Stewart, Thor Harris (drums/percussion) and Christopher Pravdica (bass).
