LESSON NO.1 + THE JOY COLLECTIVE PRESENT:
DRUM EYES
As regular attendees at our shows (Sid and Doris Bonkers) may know, we ♥ the man who calls himself DJ SCOTCH EGG and put him on all the time. We didn’t in 2010, but we start 2011 off with the first Cardiff show for DRUM EYES, his awesome Krautrock-meets-noise ensemble in which he plays his trusty Gameboys alongside members of other bands including BOREDOMS and TRENCHER. Live they are towering and hypnotic, yet also sunny and rippling. For fans of Boredoms, FUCK BUTTONS, SHIT+SHINE, HAWKWIND. Debut album out on the UPSET THE RHYTHM label. http://www.myspace.com/drumeyes
H. HAWKLINE
A nice Cardiff-based man called Huw, who also plays in MEANS HEINZ and SWEET BABOO’s band, is joined by pals (Sweet Baboo himself) who electrify his cosmic instrumental folk songs into gnarly Kraut-ish psychedelic epics. This is showcased on an LP called ‘A Cup Of Salt’, out now (in wicked limited numbers) on the SHAPE label. http://www.myspace.com/hhawkline
BEAR-MAN
A Cardiff-based trio who are playing their debut show. They feature ex/current members of MARTINI HENRY RIFLES and BROWN WINGS, but don’t sound much like those bands. Exciting free improv guitar-drum-knobs blowouts – think, let’s say, ULTRALYD, AUFGEHOBEN, THE DEAD C, SUNBURNED to kick you off – are the name of the game. They have a cassette release on Cardiff’s PHANTOMHEAD label (who are rad, check ‘em http://phantomhead.blogspot.com) coming soon. http://www.myspace.com/bearmanbearman
plus DJ set by THE KINGDOM, who DJs at and promotes OBEY – check em out here http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=166212070059273)
