Samu.co.uk presents Londons best night of glorious sinister pop and noise.
11th Sept 08
The Good Ship, London
CATS IN PARIS www.myspace.com/catsinparis - Expect sweeping strings with chimes and glockenspiel, synth and recorder, chugging bass and acrobatic percussion & sweet instrumental breakdowns. Comparisons have been made to Deerhoof, Los Campesinos & Dirty Projectors, but the fact is they are simply a thoroughly modern band, who are surely spearheading the melodic noise scene
THEO www.myspace.com/theo1000 - Astunning guitarist, looping each intricate motif of melody driven energy over each other forming complex music. Then slinging his guitar onto his back, he plays tight drums over the top.
JOY OF SEX www.myspace.com/joyofsex - It's spiky, minimalist, arty and goes off in unexpected directions and the interplay between the 3 vocalists brings to mind a fusion of Prinzhorn Dance School and Wire.
SONGS FROM THE SHOWS www.myspace.com/songsfromtheshows - With no less than two bassists, expect Slint style spoken vocals mixed with juddering angular riffs and drumming that can only be described as 'epic'
Live VJ all night! And free sweets for early birds!
Doors 7:30pm. £4 entry £2 flyer or advanced.

Best new band in Glasgow, by a mile!

...Second track sounds like a more snarly mid-60s Who. Excellent.
...First one sounds like Sean Ryder having a flashback but second track is a killer.
...once you've drunk a bottle of Maker's Mark in Copehagen?
...The more I watch it, the more I like it.
...Sex on Fire is good once you've drunk a bottle of Maker's Mark in Copenhagen

DEATH RAY TREBUCHEY / NUMBER 6
OLIVER: I liked that! It was lively, and although they compare themselves to Gogol Bordello, they're much better than that - even...
Artrocker: Are you excited now that the record is finally out?
Rich: Yes we’re excited. Obviously for us the work was over a long time ago. But yes it’s exciting… to see if anyone buys it!

Excellent track from their excellent new (to the UK) album Forts (released this week, expect review here soon).

Excellent slice of full on old school rock from The Binges. Recommended by our readers, it's now a firm favourite in the artrocker.com office.

Untitled Musical Project - they pump you up like aural steriods. Untitled Musical Project go to 11.

I love this tune. Like Jason Lowenstein fronting The Thermals covering Sweet Jane, with Steve Albini at the controls. In their blurb, they state "we play with passion, and that's...
