Now Booking...DEUX BOULES VANILLE & ZEUS!

 So I've been asked to help two INCREDIBLY AMAZING bands tour this wee island later on in time...
  
 The first is the mighty ZEUS! 
 
 
The project started in the summer of '46 with the purpose to completely disrupt the international music scene. After several studio sessions it becomes clear that the recorded material was such hot stuff, to make the all world go boom. The two decided then to hide the master recordings and not to make them public till 3000. ZEUS!' aim is to lavish a golden metal shower till that the masses won't be ready to listen the content of the secret master. For mince lovers
Members:
Lucallisto III: arciliuto, belcanto, metal zone.
Paolatzinger XVI: mazzuoli, triccheballacche, metal zone.
 Thankfully the bit about keeping the music a secret until the year 3000 fell through somewhat so they will be touring the UK between the 25th and 31st of January 2014.


So far things are looking like this...

25/1 - tbc, London
26/1 - tbc
27/1 - tbc
28/1 - tbc
29/1 - tbc Leeds
30/1 -  MelloMello, Liverpool
31/1 - The Flying Duck, Glasgow

Do get in touch if you have any kind of proposal....joelchristophermurray@gmail.com
________________________________________________________________

The second is non other than double drumming, analogue synth triggering masterminds DEUX BOULES VANILLE!


Duel drumming electronic triggering future / past mega adventure core two piece hailing from sunny Lyon. Made up of Loup Gangloff and Frederic Mancini, the two drummers trigger analogue synth looping party riffs that'll move your little foots whether you like or bloody well not.

After having built, then painted their instruments with their four hands, IIBV get busy dissolving the influences and the personnal goals of the two members into a giant mayonnaise sauce including Grindcore constructions, Techno, dub, improvisation, and creates a music that can be referred to Tony Conrad as much as the last Rihanna radio hit, from the local Crust band to Silver Apples. Simply, effectively, and without pretending any special technical abilities, IIBV write their pieces mathematically, considering accidents and chaos with the same attention as the construction of a radio hit.This results in an idiotic music, lonely, danceable, that fits as much in the pit, in a disco or at the supermarket.


So far things look like this...

8/12 -  
9/12 -  
10/12 -

12/12 - 
13/12 - MelloMello, Liverpool

Garden Residence and beyond!

SO...!  We've been plotting away over here in our soggy little annex and are incredibly happy to announce that over the scorching British summer period we will be taking up a residency in The Kazimier Garden and bringing YOU a whole host of super exciting weird and wonderful FREE SHOWS to enjoy whilst supping on a wholesome plethora of organic beverages in their picturesque outside venue.

We will gracing your eyes/ears/tongues with the follow incroyable rock n roll concerts...



Buke & Gase // Critically acclaimed rhythmic melodious swing not swung pounding anti folk beauty riffage from Brooklyn, USA.

Formerly 'Buke and Gass'. Band members Arone Dyer and Aron Sanchez are noted for their use of handmade instruments such as the "toe-bourine;" the "buke," a six-string former-baritone ukulele; and the "gase," a guitar-bass hybrid.

Dyer and Sanchez had formerly been bandmates in the post-punk noise group Hominid. The two started playing together in earnest late 2007, and recorded their first EP in 2008. They were signed to Brassland Records after Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National saw them playing a basement venue. In 2009, they were featured on the NPR science program Radiolab and shortly thereafter, recorded their first full-length album "Riposte" for which they toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe. In 2012 they released their second EP "Function Falls." Their second full length "General Dome" was released in January 2013.

The Harlequin Dynamite Marching Band // The Harlequin Dynamite Band are made up of members of Stealing Sheep, Barberos, a.P.A.t.T., King Twit, The Wizards of Twiddly, The Weave, Dead Hedge Trio, The Long Finger Bandits, Sing For Your Supper, White Blacula and a handle of other projects / side projects, and wonderful chaps and chappesses who join them from time to time.

The band were first amassed by Stealing Sheep drummer Lucianna Mercer in the summer of '11 for a special performance for the annual colourful carnival festivities of the Kazimier's Krunk Fiesta.

Based around Lucy's adaptations of her own songs arranged for many drums and horns with the aid of Simon Knighton and Martin Smith, the performance was hailed a success and opened the doors for future mobile marching movements.

The Harlequins' lineup, repertoire and existence has shifted and shuddered, expanded and become more vivid and distinctive over the last few years, taking their unique blend of melodious, tribal, krunked out party grooves to venues and spaces all over Liverpool, whether in guerrilla busking maneuvers or cramming onto stage at various events in the city.  The band also made more 8 appearances at Festival no.6 last summer, leading the parade every night, along with many rogue performances in various nooks and crannies of the festival over the weekend.

The band released their new single "JONAH" on Kazimier Records in May this year and have been cruising around to various festivals this summer with Stealing Sheep.


DJ Isocore // One of the founding fathers of UPITUP Records, Isocore will be gracing our ears with his own selection of summertime slammers, fruity as fook floor fillers and electro mood elevators.




Zs // Easily one of the most influential groups of the past decade, ZS have been delivering mind-boggling noise, ambient, math, metal, minimalism, jazz... you name it....for the past 13 years and it's an honour to be bringing them to Liverpool.

Zs was founded in 2000 and has existed as a trio, sextet, and quartet, now solidifying into the trio formation of Sam Hillmer, Patrick Higgins, and Greg Fox. Zs is primarily concerned with making music that challenges the physical and mental limitations of both performer and listener. Manipulating extended technique, unique instrumental synthesis, and near telepathic communication, Zs aims to create works that envelop the listener and unfold sonically over time, evoking unspoken past, present, and future rites and ritual.

Supporting Zs is Liverpool's own doom-jazz group The Royal Wedding and London based drone artists BLACKHOoDS.

Upcoming Shows...!!!!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<UPCOMING SHOW(S)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>




Following the split of Leeds post-punk / afrobeat outfit CISSY in June 2011, in the weeks following their live BBC session and subsequent radio play on BBC 6 Music, three ex-Cissy members Matt Dixon, Gav Montgomery and Matthew Woodward formed the band AZORES in Leeds in July 2011. AZORES played their first show in October 2011, sharing the stage with Zun Zun Egui (Bristol) and Runners (Leeds).

Azores occupy a unique space somewhere between afrobeat, psyche rock and post-punk, with influences ranging from the No Wave movement pioneered in New York during the 1980s by bands such as Liquid Liquid, James Chance and The Dance, to 1990s US bands Heroic Doses and Golden, Afrobeat players such as Ebo Taylor, Victor Uwaifo and Fela Kuti and Sublime Frequencies bands such as Group Inerane.

Dead Hedge Trio

A trio of young pups playing original alt-jazz-rock. Guitar noise, Drum pattern, sax hook.

Intricate loud-quiet groove-noise tastic alt jazzers.


Windmill Moth Glue

Three carcasses possessed by Medieval Jazz musicians Invoke the finest exportable demons available through ecstatic and often torturous musical sacrifices.

Electric spazz organ hammerings guitar squark drum thrash. Think Sun City Girls meets Aids Wolf...with a big fat cherry on top.


These fine chaps are launching their debut LP tonight too!  what a treat!
