| Post subject: | FOL CHEN - Windmill 8th June |
this one has goodness all the way through....check: FOL CHEN (Highland Park, CA) New electro-art-pop goodness signings to Asthmatic Kitty who describe themselves up as such: "You know that mysterious black object that the creepy family is staring at on the cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Presence' album? Fol Chen sound like that. But we don't sound like Led Zeppelin. (We actually do a little.) Instead, we sound like Prince with Amon Duul II and a children's religious revival, not to mention Hot Chip, Pink Floyd, Gwen Stefani, Pere Ubu, Danielson Famile, Scritti Politti, Boards of Canada, The Blow, and Pulp. (Mostly.) We are using secret powers and the guidance of legendary DJ Donna Donna to combat our nemesis, John Shade. We are cryptic and joyful and we would like you to dance." Superb! www.myspace.com/folchen DJANGO DJANGO (London) A band so good they had to name it twice, Django Django are a triple distilled essence (and sensibility) of an artistic huddle of mischievous musicals; deft purveyors of an acutely infectious amalgam of neo scoto-irish bop to the pop sentiment. 'What would Hot Chip sound like crossed with Neil Young? Or Devo with Arthur Russell, or Meat Beat Manifesto with Moondog? Listen to Django Django and find out. Formed at the end of last year, they’re writing astonishing songs, some of the most exciting, weird and clever pop music you’ll hear this year.' - Pinglewood, NME www.myspace.com/djangotime KATIE STELMANIS (Toronto, ON) Classically trained and a former member of post-riot grrl outfit Galaxy, Katie introduces her mix of contemporary and orchestral sounds to the Uk with a debut seven-inch single out on 22nd June via VICE/Loog. mercurial mixes of MIDI, tumultuous waves of near-gothic synthesizers and post-apocalyptic click-and-whirr percussion, swirling around her multi-tracked vocals, closer in tone and feeling to Kate Bush and Thom Yorke’s solo work than anything coffeehouse-oriented. - EYE Weekly www.myspace.com/katiestelmanis DJs: Beyond Fathomability www.myspace.com/beyondfathomability Advance Tickets www.wegottickets.com/event/48310 |
