Thrilled with this winter’s night of noisy mayhem we’re bringing to the Library basement! We welcome back the brilliant London no wave punks The Eurosuite, and host the opening night of experimental post punks Top Shortage tour with exciting new Leeds egg punks Solderer - made up of members of Thank and Beige Palace 😮.
For more info on the Eurosuite, read at this amazing review from Maximum RocknRoll of their wild, unhinged, raucous and sometimes beautiful album Sorry, which came out on Human Worth last year:
It’s not an easy feat to create music that is both shimmeringly beautiful and unnervingly chaotic, but the EUROSUITE does just that on Sorry. Culling from post-punk, post-hardcore, glitched-out electronics, and noise rock, these ten tracks never linger in one moment too long, carefully layering a collage out of punk’s fringes. Opener “I Thought Your Hand Was a Cup of Water” begins with feedback, disembodied vocals, and synth, then charges into DIÄT-style Berliner ice-punk two minutes in. “B.O.D.Y.” turns snare rolls into electro-glitch malfunctions with screamed vocals placed on top—think SWING KIDS meets early LIARS meets MOUSE ON MARS. Most impressive are the gorgeous swirls of distortion that couple with punishing noise rock on songs like “Pull Back.” Thick, vacuum cleaner guitar churns against sputtered and shrieked vocals like Kevin Shields playing with MCLUSKY. If you hear a beat, it will eventually syncopate, a note will stretch and compound into a synth flutter, bass will decay into uneasy synth squelches. Such is the nature of Sorry, a punk record that experiments and frequently finds greatness in its meticulous chaos.
FYI - this show will be 18+ and the venue room is down a flight of stairs.
Timings will very likely be:
Doors: 7:30
Solderer: 8:10
Top Shortage: 9
The Eurosuite: 9:50
