Wed 19th Upset The Rhythm presents CASIOTONE FOR THE PAINFULLY ALONE + a.P.A.t.T. + Harry Merry
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone is the musical alias of American film school drop-out Owen Ashworth. Owen began making music in 1997, after he realized that song-making was a far more cost-effective means of storytelling than film-making. To date, he has produced 4 CFTPA albums, released through Tomlab, that have defined a hybrid strain of raw, emotional and very homemade synth pop that is instantly recognizable as Owen's own - claustrophobic two-minute character studies shuddered with reverbed beats, blown-out chords and bittersweet odes to love lost. 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!
Harry Merry is a pop singer-songwriter, all-round entertainer and long time touring buddy of Mr Quintron and Miss Pussycat, from Rotterdam. Playing a Roland Keyboard, with some pre-recorded rhythmical accompaniment on diskette, Mr Merry covers a whole stretch of musical ground with a mind-melting array of Rock'N'Roll, Rhythm & Blues, Beat, Ballads, Schlager, Latino, Chansons, Liedjes and lately also some Slovenian Pop and Serbian Turbo-folk. |
