BARR
+ No Age

Doors 8.00

Barr is the project of LA / NYC's wandering pop-dynamo Brendan Fowler, in which he half-sings over half-tunes, creating a set of confessional songs that challenge the listener's preconceptions of truly innovative music.

Holding articulate dialogues that fall between lyrics and spoken word, Brendan's words are backed by deceptively simple, yet emotionally disarming melodies, formed from a sparse arrangement of bass, drums, piano and sometimes xylophone. This minimal aesthetic is the perfect platform for candid and exploratory songs about love, absence, realisation and experience.

'Summary', Barr's new record, will be released by Upset The Rhythm on February 12th. This show will see Brendan premiere his new full band.

No Age is Randy Randall and Dean Spunt - two heavyweights from the LA punk/ skate / art underworld, who previously performed as two thirds of that punked DIY machine, WIVES. A crashing collision of sweetly shouted ditties, ecstatic crunch feedback and violent bouts of percussion, the NO AGE sound is abound with pop songs fighting to break through a mist of white fuzz.

'Get Hurt' - a debut six song, 12" EP - will be released by Upset The Rhythm in March 2007.
