Sat 21st Upset The Rhythm presents DRUMIZE (DJ SCOTCH EGG DRUM BAND) + A.P.A.T.T + Duracell + Stig Noise
Doors 8.00 DJ Scotch Egg aka Shigeru Ishihara has been creating a storm across the globe with his Game Boy gabba and maniacal obsession with savoury food products, particularly Kentucky Fried Chicken, over the last few years, with a string of releases on Adaadat and soon to be Load. In this latest incarnation - Drumize - Shigeru switches the confines of 8-bit handheld gaming for the unlimited musical expanse of laptop technolgy and enlists the backing of an all-star crew, including 3 drummers - Liam Trencher, Tom I'm Being Good and E-da Boredoms - plus the vocal talents of Akiko Pre / Comanechi. This show follows a slot supporting Devo at Jarvis Cocker's Meltdown! Get ready to be amazed! A collective formed in Liverpool in 1998 a.P.A.t.T. are pretty much impossible to classify! United by their a.P.A.t.T. branded nurses' outfits, but performing with everything from 2 to 7 members and going through a constant evolution of hardware and software changes, the group fuses mathy, synth-led moments with almost klezmery freak-outs rendered in accordion, strings, brass and piano. Think the missing link between The Locust, Danielson Famile and A Hawk and A Hacksaw and you may be getting close! Duracell is Andre Diamant. France's self-proclaimed "one man Bolt", this dude performs covers of Sega and Nintendo classics, using only samples triggered by lightning quick drumming on a stripped down kit. Perhaps the ultimate in self-sufficent one-man band noise gymnastics.
A six-headed beast, also from Liverpool, Stig Noise have been putting on incendiary, legendary live shows with soulmates a.P.A.t.T and the Adaadat crew for quite some time now. Their sound is a strange homebrew of cut 'n' paste hip-hop, mariachi brass and flamenco-cum-grind guitars. Check out new LP 'Rum 'n' Brass' for Class A Audio for more. |
