Just a bit more information about Talibam! and the other bands.
I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the gymnastic octopoidal drummer.
Talibam! New York’s finest noise niks on their UK/European tour drop in to Manchester from their highly impressive appearance at Nottingham’s Do to Dot Festival.
"Talibam! is Matt Mottel (Awesome Color, Shadowmaps, Syntony) on synthesizer and Kevin Shea (of BARR and Storm & Stress) on drums. The band have a brand of sh*tstorm skronk grounded in intelligent dynamic group exchange - spastic, impossibly octopoidal drum splatter and impenetrable stuttering free jazz soundscapes burdgeon. Above the tangled percussive squall, the synth battles the silence, fast becoming a knock down drag out battle to the death. Too jazz for noise, too noise for jazz, Talibam! have arrived!" - Upset The Rhythm.
Kevin Shea's drumming and stage gymnastics have been gazed at with wide wonder through his membership in bands like Storm & Stress (Touch & Go), Coptic Light (No Quarter), and People (I and Ear).
Gonzo jazz rock fusion at its most inspired!
Sunshine Republic:
The sound of planets fighting with chainsaws and SunnO))) soundwaves
“...building in tantric waves from the most beautifully sublime, quiet guitar note to a roaring crescendo of feedback and hypnotic, crashing rhythms. Backs to the audience, completely locked into their own grooves, there's not much to look at, but it's the sensation of having your bones shaken by their Sideshow Bob look alike bassist's rumbling low-end that provides the thrill here.” Nick Ruskell: Kerrang
Burn The Archives:
They say their sound is like ‘waves crashing on the shore’. When you look at their influences, (Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Silver Mount Zion, Tool, Boards Of Canada, The Mars Volta, Earth, Neurosis, Isis, Pink Floyd, Cult Of Luna, A Perfect Circle, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Mono, Red Sparowes, Boris, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Bola, Alva Noto), you can see why.
Worried About Satan:
Make lo-fi post rock doodles, somewhere between Boards of Canada and Mogwai. “Worried About Satan have really showed themselves to have mastered the craft they have been slaving away at for a while now. The beats are big and heavy with huge crunching guitars and sweeping delay-ridden melodies” “create massive folding landscapes laden with huge almost trance-like beats and epic grasping guitar melodies” – Leeds Music Scene
