FRIDAY 7TH MAY

MARVIN (Montpellier, France) - http://www.myspace.com/marvinband
Africantape Records

Long-time awesome friendly friends of ours from southern France, with a new record out early 2010. A trio consisting of drums, guitar and Korg MS20 synth (the old analog sort with loads of knobs and phat-sound that'll make owners of the crappy modern Microkorg intensely jealous), Marvin crash-land somewhere in the every-man-and-woman's land between the characterised clamour of high-energy noisy instrumentals, psychedelia and Krautrock. Their newest album introduces vocals for the first time, and a change of pace towards even greater celebratory vibes! Over the Channel, Marvin have played gigs across Continent Europe with the likes of DEVO, Trans Am, Polysics, Don Caballero, Neptune, Zu, Oxes (etc), which might give you some idea of their most excellent calibre. Total winner!

COWTOWN (Leeds) - http://www.myspace.com/cowtownsuperstars
Chinchilla-Tone, On The Bone, Golden Lab Records

A three piece sing-a-long space-station of scratching, prodigious guitar rock fused with electric lemon Casioisms and 1977 Korg Micro Preset, tightly pinned to the floor by stadium-sized drums without the expected cheeseball outcome; Cowtown make tasty and poisonous anthems. New Album out now on City Hands.

KOGUMAZA (Nottingham) - http://www.myspace.com/oogamaza
Low Point, Lancashire & Somerset Records

You may not know the name Kogumaza yet, but there's a chance you may have seen or heard some of their other/previous bands or collaborations, many of whom have graced various Chinchillafests and gigs over the last 9 years (Lords, Wolves Of Greece, Bob Tilton, Last Of The Real Hardmen, Felix, Reynolds, Little Girl With Cherries, Not In This Town, Glenn Branca's Orchestra, etc). This is what’s been said…."Kogumaza make music like a pot of water constantly on the boil; bubbling, steaming and popping violently, spraying scalding heat out in all directions before settling down to seethe quietly till the heat gets turned back up again". Enticing!

SPECTRALS (Leeds) - http://www.myspace.com/spectrals
Captured Tracks

Spector inspired lo-fi fuzz pop of heavy-hearted gloom and infectious sunkissed-breeze hooks. Spectrals is a one-man band, Louis Jones, who played in hardcore bands when younger. Now he’s making a sound like a twisted Phil Spector production of 50s/60s pop – but even weirder than Ol’ Wiggy Phil ever was. Word is he’ll be backed by a group of ‘unsavoury individuals’ who are probably good, fun-loving country lads really.

CISSY (Leeds) - http://www.myspace.com/cissysound

Cellars. Unreliable electrics. Polyrhythms on Ludwig drums. Bleep Bloop midi talk and mikroKORG arppegiator. Angular guitar, sometimes fucked up on purpose. The bass guitar is in your stomach and feels FUNKY. Cissy includes people who also currently play, or have played, in The Dragon Rapide, Tigers!, The Lapse, Origami, Hey Little Cobra!, Factotum and Beards. Cissy has played with some other ace bands, such as James Chance et Les Contortions, Cryptacize, Cowtown, Das Boton, Fulborn Teversham, Origami, 7 Hertz, The Violets, Experimental Dental School, Team Gina, etc. Cissy is the sound of the East & the West, BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Synthpunk, Postpunk, NoWave, Donuts, Coffee, Amphetamines, Cats & Dogs, The 1970s, The 1980s, Colours, Sounds, Peoples, Fela Kuti, Kraut Rock, Electro, Kisses, Jumping, Dancing, Fun and Zombie flick obsession.

Plus Dan McEvoy dj set
