Small Enclosed Area

Apparently, there are two types of bands that come from Scotland -- bands that think it's a 1983 dance party (Franz Ferdinand, for those living under a rock) and bands that want to blast your face in with as many Big Muff pedals as possible (Mogwai, Idlewild). The young upstarts named Small Enclosed Area sit firmly in the brutally-loud-minus-any-hipster-dance-party-swagger category. They take lessons learned from noted masters of dynamics such as Mogwai and Pelican. Loud crashing waves of fuzzed-out guitars cede to gently picked melodies that seem to endlessly swirl around tender vocals vaguely reminiscent of Tool's Maynard Keenan, minus the lyrically absurd obtuseness.

Shutter

The intense progressive leanings of home-grown quartet Shutter perfectly compliment Sacramentos Deftones in advance of their entrance this evening. The up and coming hand-picked act wear the acoustics of the Academy well and produce sufficient goods to whet the appetites of its inhabitants; exciting prospects for Scottish hard rock in the offing.

Your band is amazing by the way

[RossP]

This will be the last Small Enclosed Area gig EVER, by the way.

We are changing our name to coincide with an album release in the next couple of months.

... There's a few of you here that i've already told our new name to when pissed, i'm sure. But i better not let it slip on here till all the admin stuff is done i.e. PRS, website changes, etc etc

Blast, if I'd know I would have asked your drunken body at the weekend.

Give me a holla when you know the stage times. I'm skipping between two gigs that night

On this day we met Gambas: in the vein of Sigur Ros and Teenage Fanclub?!

...sounds interesting.

Check their myspace, great band

[Jan Deal]

I will do when I get home from work, since the Nazi I.T. department don't let you onto Myspace at my work.

[RossP]

Check the song "When no-one is around".

Plus, for £2, you can't really go wrong.
