COMANECHI + DIVORCE + Jackie Treehorn + Run Off With Gypsies

September 23rd, 2010

Sneaky Pete’s is getting another dose of COMANECHIVORCE after previously giving the packed crowd what for last January!

This time both COMANECHI and DIVORCE will have extra ammunition in the shape of their brand new split 10″ EP, coming out on MEROK and featuring new tracks by both bands on the a-side, then a skull-crushing cover of Sonic Youth’s “Death Valley 69” performed by both bands together on the flip! OUCH.

COMANECHI released their debut album “Crime Of Love” late last year, a knife-welding trash-and-sludgepunk masterpiece, but nothing will prepare you for the sheer ferocity of their new material… duck & cover!

DIVORCE have also got some new tricks/songs/tatts up their already volume-riddled sleeve. The five-headed Glasgow-based noise-abusers are only getting noisier…

JACKIE TREEHORN have been chewing up and spitting out Edinburgh crowds for a while, but only now, with a new stripped-down instrumental-based line-up and a bottomless well of megalithic riffs, are they truly becoming the pioneers of numbing volume, teutonic groove and head-melting complexity!

RUN OFF WITH GYPSIES are giving us their world debut tonight. FRESH NEW NOISE TERROR is planned, expect your ears to be scoured away to bloody stumps. COWER.

DOORS = 7pm || DOOR = £5

September 20th, 2010

Although barely together a year, catchy indie-with-strings group have already captured a lot of attention. They’re played T In The Park, supported Snow Patrol, and even played the Royal Albert Hall supporting Paolo Nutini. Whatever about the pedigree of supports they’ve done, they’re impressive enough on their own. Check them out below …

TRC + LOWER THAN ATLANTIS + SHIELDS UP + more

September 19th, 2010

TRC (The Revolution Continues) are a London based hardcore band currently signed to the Thirty Days of Night Records record label.

TRC were formed in spring 2003 and shortly after their formation they released their much discussed split Demo with fellow new blood band Prowler and instantly became one of the most talked about bands in the London scene.

Drawing influences from all over and combining harsh, street influenced Hardcore with strict underground UK Hip Hop. Their first album was “North West Kings”. Some comparisons can be made to bands like Krutch, Irate and early E Town Concrete, but despite these comparisons, TRC are considered to have a sound that is strictly their own.

In 2004 TRC released ‘North West Kings’ EP and in 2007 released the 10 track album ‘Destroy and Rebuild.’ This release has seen the band grow dramatically and step towards pastures new.

In 2009 TRC released The Revolution Continues E.P five tracks featuring London’s Greatest Love Story and Bastard.

2010 sees them on tour a lot whilst writing their new full length album.

‘An extraordinary new British talent…4.5/5’ – THE SUN

‘A spellbinding, wondrous voice….an amazing album’ – STOOL PIGEON

THE PATTERN THEORY + guests

September 14th, 2010

pattern theoryThe Pattern Theory met through a common love of instrumental music and a desire to combine the beauty of rhythmical complexity with the emotional impact of minimal harmonies and melodies. Formed in Leeds, England in spring 2007 they self-released their first EP (EP1), which received excellent reviews (including The Guardian and Drowned in Sound) and extensive radio play (including Steve Lamacq’s BBC Radio One show), they re-located to Berlin in 2008.

They have toured throughout Europe and have shared stages with Icy Demons, Adem, Library Tapes and The Drift. Damo Suzuki chose The Pattern Theory as his backing band on his world tour, accompanying him with a fully improvised set.

Live, the band play six instruments simultaneously, with no backing tracks being used at any point. Outside of The Pattern Theory, James drums for The Declining Winter (Hood side project), Carl works with Andrew McInnis (ex-Asva, a Sunn O))) side project) and Lukas plays with Tanita Tikaram.

PRESS:
“Very promising, like Yo La Tengo in mellow mood doing an Ali Farka Toure tribute.” – THE GUARDIAN

“Interweaving individual threads of guitar, bass and drums which fit together into something that’s part melody, part algorithm… like Battles but much more organic” – MANCHESTER MUSIC

“From the stunning promise evident on every track, it seems like a rather invincible EP.” (10/10) – LEEDS MUSIC SCENE“

The Pattern Theory strive for perfection, (and) are definitely walking the walk outside of the regulation box.” – DROWNED IN SOUND
