FOUND + DEAD BOY ROBOTICS

July 24th, 2009

One of the most important and original bands to come out of Scotland for years. FOUND are hugely talented, and amazing live. Support comes from local band Dead Boy Robotics, fresh from playing at T in the Park.

“DIY folk quintet FOUND treat their songs like scientific art experiments, throwing in glitches and the clunks of random household objects. Their excellent second LP has strong hints of the Beta Band and Tunng, but singer Ziggy Campbell’s discount-whisky croon is unmistakable” Dazed and Confused

“They look like vagrants – but when it comes to ideas, they’re one of the richest bands around. FOUND sound like a punch-up between Paolo Nutini and Captain Beefheart.”News of the World

SLEEPY SUN + KESER + MYSHKIN (gig moved to Electric Circus, Market Street – tickets still valid)

July 14th, 2009

The most exciting and best new band at SXSW in March, San Francisco rockers play Sneaky Petes on July 14th. New album “Embrace” available now on ATP recordings.

Eddie Van Halen once remarked that the most amazing thing about Led Zeppelin was that, for a band often cited as the godfathers of heavy metal, so much of their repertoire was acoustic. Theirs was a reputation built not on being the loudest band all the time, but rather at just the right time. It’s a lesson that San Francisco-via-Santa Cruz sextet Sleepy Sun have taken to heart– their debut album, Embrace, dispenses its earth-quaking riffage in such carefully measured, perfectly spaced-out rations, it tricks you into thinking the band is much heavier than it actually is – 7.5, PITCHFORK

MIXED BIZNESS feat. KAZEY (dress2sweat)

July 4th, 2009

 

Coming straight outta Paris, alongside production partner Bulldog, Kazey has set the standard for the new wave of Baltimore club producers and electronic twiddlers. Rocking parties, clubs and mix tapes since the beginning of the 90’s, Kazey has become one of the most in demand DJs to ride the wave of the explosion of the get down-low-and-dumb b-more club music that has taken the world by storm.

Kazey and Bulldog are currently basking in the glory of their “Dirty Wheels EP” on Dress 2 Sweat – the best club record you’ll hear this side of Baltimore. The lead track “Big Truck” has already been licensed to DJ Craze’s “Fabric mix” CD, and has been played out heavily by the likes of Sinden, Scottie B and Tittsworth, who describes the limited edition picture disc as “absolutely bullet proof from beginning to end”. Recent remixes have served to solidify their reputation with requests from some of the hippest labels about to work their make over magic. French electro heavyweights Arcade Mode and Institubes have both seen fit to enlist his production and remix skills and as his profile continues to rise we will see and hear more and more of the fruits of his studio sessions in the coming months. To add to all this, Kazey is a member of the Clark Magazine team, organizing parties, editing the fashion pages and directing the art of the first Clark Magazine compilation – Juice!

His Dj exploits continue to take him far and wide with sets all over Europe and alongside some of the biggest names in electronic music. It won’t be long until he is just that himself. Watch out now.

FREE ENTRY TO MEMBERS – £3 ALL ELSE.

(POSTPONED)
Cry Over Billionaires + Thieves in Suits + I See Shapes

July 4th, 2009

Another great night from the Manky Bastard chaps,

cryoverbillionaires are a 3 piece alternative rock band from edinburgh, we recently moved to glasgow.

“there is a chance for everyone to find hopeless romance in complex”

“edinburgh’s best kept secret”- Cab Vol

“I do love a melody trying desperately to break out of a wall of sound. Not that it’s tunes over screaming feedback or anything.. that would be doing them a sever injustice. What they actually do is a full blooded take on disco punk (though more punk than disco)” JIM GELLATLY

“:cryoverbillionaires (4/5) are an entirely different kettle of piranha, pairing crunchy guitars and confrontational, booming vocals with tender, brittle psychedelic moments; their heady blend of loud-quiet-loud is dramatic at best. Evoking, for touchstone comparison’s sake, McClusky, Stapleton and Deftones having some kind of a three-way arm wrestle, their firebrand works and is at its most challenging when singer and drummer peel paint off the walls by sparring over Of All Evil’s roaring chorus.” THE SKINNY MAG

£5 on door
