Where once, Numbers were the premier party-rock dance outfit with whom we found our salvation from the curse that was the coming of a new century, now comes Numbers of a new dawning era of self-realization and societal enlightenment. Previously three individuals taking turns of yelping, buzzerk-ing, pushing and shoving, coming together occasionally to make fight music for pajama parties, now has become a singular sound; an epic, mind-driving sound.
You see, to paraphrase Ozzy, we've all been going through changes. Growing up a little with each band break-up, dying a little with each Tecate downed at 4am. But now, you see, Numbers have come together, "matured" if you will. Now, now you will hear a huge sound; an epic, unifying sound. For highway motoring I believe you will not find a better aural backdrop. Desert flowers bloom when Numbers' drums, guitar and moog symphonies bellow from the Blaupunkt. Constant and intense, but reassuring in the same way that record reviews which mention Chrome, Neu, Can, Kraftwerk, Eno, Devo, Cheap Trick, Die Kreuzen, Killdozer can be. Together they will let you hear life as it would sound if the Titanic had never sank and the Hindenburg had never exploded over the skies of Lakehurst, New Jersey.
Main support from The Warm, an incredible Japanese organ punk trio.
First on are Hands On Heads who formed when three friends discovered a feral child in their treehouse on 13th Feburary 2005. They provided sanctuary for the wild boy and taught him a crude language based on mouthed sounds and stick tapping. This form of communication organically grew into the songs Hands on Heads perform today, the boy taking up a position behind the drums, his friends playing guitar, bass, organ and singing - a mixture of regression therapy and now pop!
Through performance, the friends hope to acclimatise the boy to society at large in a bid for his independence, they also endeavour to communicate the desire and despair held in each little animal's chest. Hands on Heads are not so much a band as they are an experiment in bridging kinship.
They also love to bring the party!
[Jesus. What have we let ourselves in for?]
