DreamState (Bristol)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gravenhurst \/ Es \/ James Brewster \/ Chris Forsyth \/ Balky Mule \/ Headfall \/ Silver Pyre \/ Ignatz \/ Ice Bird Spiral<\/strong><\/p>\n

with DJs David Hopkinson + Milky Way<\/strong><\/p>\n

at\u00a0Colston Hall 2<\/a><\/div>\n
(Fri\u00a025th\u00a0Sep\u00a02009\u00a0\/\u00a07pm\u00a0\/\u00a0\u00a36 adv)<\/div>\n
A more fantastical and hazy amalgamation of acts\/artists\/film-makers\/DJs could not be imagined. Eight live acts are here to celebrate the state of dream. Bristol has produced some memorable and mesmerizing musical dreamers.<\/div>\n

A certain night-time liquidness can be heard in Bristol’s best musicians, it produces a homegrown music that walks through walls\/genres. Tonight’s music alchemists either come from Bristol or have lived here others, in true dream style, have nothing to do with the city but appear with their own magic hour music.<\/p>\n

DreamState (Bristol) features<\/p>\n

GRAVENHURST<\/a> (Warp) is a poet of blissed-out feedback and literary dark thought. He is Bristol’s Nick Drake via William Burroughs. Out there on his own. ES<\/a> (Fonal) lives and works near the forests of Tampere, Finland. Patchwork psychedelia, magical realism, found sounds and devotional song all combine. JAMES BREWSTER<\/a> (aka Mole Harness) produces waves and waves of sublimely sequenced acoustica \/ electronica. CHRIS FORSYTH<\/a> (Peeesseye\/USA) has both a raw power and intuitive delicacy to his amazing solo acoustic\/electric guitar playing. BALKY MULE<\/a> (FatCat) sings easy, breezy and woozy English songs that just charm in a dreamy summer style. HEADFALL<\/a> (Kino Space) melt lo-fi hiss and crackle, strung out instrumentals, edged out spoken word, and deep space grooves. SILVER PYRE<\/a> (West Country) forges accordion, beats and live drums into rural anthems with an urban Detroit edge. IGNATZ<\/a> (Belgium) beams in blues from another planet incorporating detuned guitar, slap back echo, howling vocals and swathes of feedback. ICE BIRD SPIRAL<\/a> (Wiltshire) inhabit a Interzone somewhere between psychedelic-noise and old school Surrealism, where found-sound and automatic writing co-exist with rural car-boot mysticism.<\/p>\n
