| skin http://www.skinbeats.com KIN is where music, art, performance, and film collide. Our goal is to create an experience that literally envelops the senses. Artists often bandy about the term, but this show is the definition of multi-media, synergizing music, film and circus: Live music accompanies multiple projected images with synchronized lighting. And performers are suspended from fabric while images are projected on their bodies as they perform acrobatic feats overhead. Each song explores a different theme or emotion, some political, some sensual, some frightening, some hallucinatory. It has been described as a cross between Pink Floyd, Orbital, Cirque Du Soleil and Stan Brakhage. If punk rock and electronica fucked one night with the video camera on, SKIN would be their illegitimate lovechild who ran away to join the circus. - (Read more) |

| The Young Punx http://www.theyoungpunx.com/ The Young Punx are a London-based collective of eclectic electronic musicans, headed up by Hal Ritson and Cameron Saunders. Over the past few years they have firmly established themselves as the new darlings of UK dance music, with many of the world’s top DJs championing their records and over 100 BBC Radio 1 plays to date. The punx are at the forefront of the UK dance scene, and their cheeky pop culture mentality has seen them catch the headlines in mainstream media as diverse as The Sun, The Mirror, La Stampa, Radio 4 news and even BBC 2 Newsnight! Their debut album - "Your music is killing me" - is currently on release in the UK and Japan, with further countries coming soon (USA in April). Their fresh and energetic sound that they term "Mashpop and punkstep" is the natural next step in the evolution of mashup music - fusing elements of house, electro, breaks and drum and bass with an eclectic soundclash of popular culture references, rock, disco, 80s pop, classical and jazz to create something at once original and resolutely accessible. Performed entirely by the band and their guests (no audio samples) with a wry sense of humour and pop art sensibility, the album features tracks such as the shipping forecast quoting "Rockall", cosmetic surgery sideswipe ‘Young And Beautiful’ and surfer breaks ‘You’ve got to...’ which is featured on the FIFA '07 EA computer game. - (Read more) |
| Tunng http://www.tunng.co.uk/index.html Back in 2003, Mike Lindsay had a studio in a Soho basement below a clothes shop. Mike had been playing about with studio tech, making electronica and trying to make a living producing advert music, when he met Sam Genders, who was a bit of a singer-songwriter, used to doing pub gigs by himself. They had to go through the changing room to get down to the studio, then couldn't get back out while the shop was open in case they startled naked ladies on their way out. Stuck down there, they found that Mike's distinctive way with twinkling sounds and tight production enhanced the folky songs they were both writing no end, and a signature sound developed. A year of "having a laugh in the studio" together followed, beginning with the psychedelic but endlessly catchy 'People Folk' - originally Mike's song, which they then reworked and produced together. After that they wrote in all kinds of permutations, sometimes starting with a full song by one or other of them, sometimes just with a phrase or tiny idea and working it up together. Tunng's first album 'Mother's Daughter And Other Songs' is very much the sound of this partnership as they bounced ideas off one another in their basement. An approach to Static Caravan met with a welcoming response, and Sam and Mike realised that Tunng was a project that could find a wider audience. As work on what was to become that first album went on, their songs leaked out via friends. Inevitably ears pricked up as more people heard them, and quickly they started getting asked "would you like to do a gig". - (Read more) |
| Violent Silence http://www.violentsilence.net/ More progressive than progressive rock, more intense than whatever, the art which Violent Silence proposes is neither easily describable nor comparable to anything else. The songs prove to be stuffed with genius and class... Do you want to discover a really original group? Here is one!" Zicazic "What a damn nice surprice this is! Violent Silence is a different Swedish 5-piece for sure, a band playing a very intriguing and quite original kind of progressive rock that makes the hair on my back curl in amazement!" Imhotep "Kinetic" has become no less than one of my personal all time favorite records." Manticornio "A master stroke, no less" Prog-résiste "In a musical climate dominated by stereotypical bands that infinitely repeat things made by others, Violent Silence forcefully demonstrate that they are a great new band." Rock Impressions Top-rate music. Violent Silence have a fresh sound that just further expands progressive music.." Aural Moon Radio "If Kinetic does not yield the band some major attention and give them a major push to the forefront of progressive music, then I would be very surprised, not to mention disappointed."
