Now in its ninth instalment, the Macbeth's indie monthly Goodbye, Faithful Kingdom! is gaining a granite reputation for presenting meaningful and progressive underground acts. Headlining tonight is the Hellset Orchestra, a quite-brilliant six-piece from Nottingham that play Freddie Mercury-inspired rock pimped-up with cello, piano, violin and brass. London septet the Monroe Transfer provide a dreamy orchestral foil to all that melodrama with their intricate, reverb-infused sound; while Toyko's Masaaki Yoshida and his Anchorsong project show the compositional possibilities of the humble keyboard and sampler. – Joe Rudkin

Goodbye, Faithful Kingdom! present an exhilarating group of artists in December, collectively one might call them a murder of artists. Headlining we have the aptly named The Hellset Orchestra. Their new album ‘The Carrousel Awaits’ is due for release early December through Wicked Wicked Bird Records and apparently the album is “a collection of sonic adventures referencing a multitude of events and discoveries in the history and perceived future of humans.” Opening proceedings we have the Japanese musician Anchorsong who creates exciting improvised music through sampler and keyboard and tightly sandwiched between the two we have the sonic-orchestral sounds of The Monroe Transfer.



THE HELLSET ORCHESTRA
http://www.myspace.com/hellsetorchestra

Nottingham’s The Hellset Orchestra are a six-headed beast with cellos and violins for arms, bass and drums for legs and a big Hammond organ for its belly. This jabberwocky emits sounds of a theatrically monstrous nature and utilises sounds from the metal, baroque, jazz, progressive rock and power ballad periods of history. They came together through coincidental research into rare Victorian bird-hunting periodicals and have written songs about short vikings, King Arthur, battledroids and bobsledding lizards.

“The Hellset Orchestra make an exhilarating noise, with glam rock, show tunes, jazz, prog, ska, and new wave all thrown into one highly satisfying gumbo… they sound like nothing so much as some bizarre Midlands take on a New Orleans funerary band fronted by a mad professor!” – SoundsXP

“Tiny theatrical epics, stories indeed from the perfectly named Hellset Orchestra. You’d expect to find them in full Victorian costume at the end of Brighton pier, or maybe on deck as the ship goes down Trying To Make A Monstrous Bird and other twisted constructions that dance around theatrical noir.” - Organ

THE MONROE TRANSFER
http://www.myspace.com/electricoldwirenoise

The Monroe Transfer are a UK-based, 7-piece group, making beautifully detailed and passionately executed instrumental music on a variety of instruments. Forthcoming releases include a unique CD & DVD double-pack of ‘I Dreamt I Was A Hammer And Everything Was Glass’, featuring animated film by Gemma Burditt to be released on Organ Grinder Records.

"At their most beautiful they’re 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

ANCHORSONG
http://www.myspace.com/anchorsong

Anchorsong is a solo project by Masaaki Yoshida from Tokyo, Japan.

He creates music with a sampler (AKAI MPC2000XL) and a keyboard (KORG Triton) right in front of the audience. In other words, he shows the process of composing on the stage. Some people say, "It's like watching a painter drawing on a white canvas." His reputation is known internationally through YouTube, where since the first video was uploaded, they have been viewed more than 100000 times in total.
