Event information
THE MONROE TRANSFER
http://www.myspace.com/electricoldwirenoise
the monroe transfer are a UK-based, entirely independent 7-piece group, making densely orchestrated, melancholic, uplifting instrumental music on a variety of instruments (including 'cello, viola, violin, double bass, electric & acoustic guitars, drums, ukulele, trombone, harmonium, glockenspiel, samples & distorted recordings).
"At their most beautiful, The Monroe Transfer are able to lightly brush the places that so few other instrumental acts can...it’s exciting when a band that features not a single singer is able to take you away to someplace other than the here and now on fabulous waves of orchestral sound. The Monroe Transfer, at their most beautiful, are that band." - Drowned in Sound
TEAM BRICK
http://www.myspace.com/teambrick
Team Brick is a powerful and unique musician from Bristol. His performances incorporate all kinds of instruments, equipment and techniques, including clarinet played through a loop pedal, drum abuse, chiming bells, plucked strings and a cappella rants. His vocals are similarly broad in range, encompassing throat singing, speaking in tongues and cathartic off-mic bellowing, activating the acoustic properties of his whole body. Together, these sounds create an evocative, resonant and mysterious body of work that offers a half-glimpse into an intriguing world of its own
HANDS ON HEADS
http://www.myspace.com/handsonheads
Hands On Heads write abrupt, non-repetitive songs about unrequited friendship, romantic potential, the supernatural everyday, righteous joy and expectation. The songs rarely scale the dizzying heights of the two minute mark, relying on shock and awe song-writing tactics to get their message across. Hands on Heads don’t believe in reiteration, they make a point with emphasis, then move on to the next fractured song of double-speed dynamics and feral abandon.
"Like, if you multiplied the frets on a guitar by the beats in a bar by every e-number in a gingerbread towerblock. Featuring, um (maybe) an old school seaside/cinema organ, hyperspeed dynamics and a litter of puppies yelping from the depths of a spin cycle (it's OK! They like it!) well until they drown obvs." - PLAN B
