Mon 19th Live Nation presents THE EARLY YEARS + Wolf & Cub + The Strange Death of Liberal England
Doors 7.00 The Early Years vision is to create washes of psychedelic guitar noises meshed in with feedback, drones, distortion and wah set against a strong metronomic beat. The Early Years take influences from everywhere, but they remain influences and nothing more. Originality is the key to beauty. The Early Years have been on the radar for a while but are still relative newcomers on the scene. Having signed to Beggars Banquet early last year, they wasted no time in putting out two limited singles and an outstanding self-titled debut album, which Drowned in Sound praised for its “noisy majesty”, NME labelled “an explosion of unbridled sonic pleasure” and Artrocker decreed to be most definitely “the right side of prog.” The Early Years sneak into the new year with the EP release of 'The Great Awakening', consisting of four brand new tracks including ‘Say What I Want To’, which was only introduced to their live set towards the end of 2006. The good news continues with them hitting the road once again for another UK tour, tonight at Luminaire. Main support are Wolf and Cub who hail from a very distant place - Adelaide, Australia to be precise. Yet word about their adrenalised take on darkly psychedelic, danceable noise is spreading far afield.
"Wolf & Cub rip a hole in the rock scene." [Dazed & Confused]
First on are The Strange Death of Liberal England, a five-piece from Portsmouth with a penchant for primal rhythm and chaotic melody. The music is both foot-stompingly rampant and passionately tuneful - with influences on display that are reminiscent of Wire and Magazine. The band members swap instruments during the set, while remaining silent in between songs giving proceedings a joyfully chaotic atmosphere. |
