great Neptune review (i think so anyway..) from boston's weekly....DIG...love the ''sounds like robots gone off their meds..'' bit!!!

NEPTUNE | PATTERNS
GENRE | NOISY HOMEMADE ROCK VERDICT | JUNK’S NOT JUNK LABEL | SELF-RELEASE RELEASE | 4.12.06
WWW.NEPTUNEBAND.COM

You might think that once you’ve heard the trash-bashing freakazoids of Neptune do their signature thang, you’re all set. But come now. Think about it—you’re not all set. It would be pretty bonkers logic to assume that a crew of dudes who quite literally built their band from scratch would plateau at the first sign of satisfaction. You don’t want people thinking you’re crazy or dim, so have a go with Neptune’s latest release (their 14th), Patterns. Their arsenal of child-frightening scrap-metal guitar-thingies is here augmented by a barrage of homespun electronics and mutations—tupperphones, telegraph oscillator boxes, amplified springs and metal floor toms. And sure, the results are abrasive—but in a good way, like getting your back scratched for the first time in years, only by a bear. “The Lighthouse” sounds like robots gone off their meds; little gnarly electronic sputters and thick metallic guitars chase a spooked bleep around until they all end up falling off a cliff. “Fourteen Pleasures” is a dizzy tantrum that brings Brainiac to mind—if Brainiac were mugged by a hover-van full of space gypsies. Bookend instrumentals “#13” and “On Purpose, By Accident” not only hint at the role of luck (bad or otherwise) in their music, but they also demonstrate the band’s knack for press-record-and-go improv. So good you’ll need a tetanus shot. [MICHAEL BRODEUR]

Really, really excited about this gig! Neptune were jaw-droppingly great at The Tunnels, can't wait to see what it's like in Peacocks.

Not for the first time I wouldn't imagine.

Neptune were terrific, as they were last time. Noma as well, although I spent quite a while trying to figure out how exactly he got those sounds into his pick ups from so far away...

A tiny bit gutted about Can't (Jessica Rylan) not playing, but shit happens. Overall it was great, Peacocks is very suited to these types of gigs, nice and intimate.

brilliant night! my only quibble was that there being only two lights on the stage area made it very difficult to take photo's but neptune and noma were both ace last night and the atmosphere was brilliant too. well dones all round!
