GREAT YTENE

// GREAT YTENE //

First show for new London four piece. Reverb drenched atmospheric tunes for the escapists and daydreamers. Feat ex members of Colours, debut 7" out on Marshall Teller Records in June. Named after an ancient forest on the south coast, which is epic and cool, not unlike like the band itself. 

http://www.greatytene.com/


// PARLOUR //

Angela Won-Yin Mak's Parlour fuses haunted pop vocal melodies, fuzzy, drifting guitars and psych repetitions to create something dreamy, noisy, trippy and awesome. Backed by a band feat members of Warm Brains, they are bound to be an absolute treat. Check it -

http://parlourmusik.com/

// NIGHT FLOWERS //

'Most Northern band in North-East London' (self proclaimed but probably true). Watch in amusement as all 6 members try and find somewhere to stand when playing. Ninetiesesque indie pop with eighties jangle and a touch of the 'gaze.

'Like walking into 'My So Called Life' or an eighties John Cusack film' - Someone at the first gig.

This first event features:
Ryan Jordan, a well known noise maker to both London and international audience.
Ryan uses self built hardware, stroboscopic light and high volume noise in an attempt to induce hallucinatory and trance like states.

Ampersand - Their noise is created using pianos carcasses, fractured keyboards, shell casing, corrugated iron, metal sculptures scaffold and brass pipes. 
Their influences include This Heat, Faust and Einsturzende Neubauten.  website: www.ampersand.tv

 

Tiger Walking Downhill
They combine a variety of instruments and sound-sources such as electronic toys, circuit bending, mixers, turntables, bass guitar, found objects, self-built instruments, guitar, laptop, feedback, and a whole array of effects units to create interesting and dynamic improvisations. 
Every performance is different and unpredictable.
