Strap yourselves in for a night of deliciously dark, delightfully delectable electronica from some of the finest synth based acts from across the mid north! Featuring the spectacular synth wizardry and lyrical excellence of:
Still Forever (Manchester)
Elements of eighties post-punk, electro-indie, synthesised soundscape and modern gothic, overlaid with atmospheric, bipolar vocals.
DOBERWOMAN (Leeds)
Electro riot grrl: a screaming, yelling, tantrum-throwing brainchild; a gnashing-toothed musical response to a world that expects girls to shut up.
What happens when women let loose their anger after being told they should be quiet? What happens when we get fed up of being afraid?
DOBERWOMAN happens.
GnomeFoam (Bradford)
Glitchy, IDM-tinged bedroom produced hip-pop with occasional abstract drone & spoken word tendencies.
According to www.disagreement.net, Gnomefoam has "the lo-fi charm of Ariel Pink combined with the experimentalism of Max Tundra, plus a dose of over-caffeinated Why?".
And your other electrifying electronic entertainer & compere extraordinaire for the night...
A short Dark Stranger (Leeds)
The premier purveyor of pumping power pop performed with passion!
80s / 90s style throbbing, crashingly catchy synth-pop epics with cathartic, heartfelt, emotionally honest, cynical yet wittily pithy, observational and self deprecatingly amusing lyrics.
Imagine an energetic, eccentric, English Andy Williams in a silver suit & satin shirt. Shot through with (as reviewed in Louder Than War magazine) a streak of Jarvisean wit.
With much more pelvic thrusting.
Tickets: £10 advance, £12 on the door.
