Interesting Music are very proud to announce a superb three band tour
package:- Sat 31st Mar 07 The Tunnels Doors 8pm Entry £7 Pit er Pat (Thrill Jockey) are the Tortoise endorsed and produced, chicago-based trio of keyboardist fay davis-jeffers, drummer butchy fuego and bassist rob doran. powerful rhythms provide a solid floor for ethereal melodies and layers of textural samples in their music. to those fortunate enough to have seen them, pit er pat are a hugely compelling presence. fans compare various aspects of their music to the raincoats, early soft machine, slap happy and blonde redhead. the end result is a constant propelling of rhythm and melody steeped in innumerable influences and emotions. like the hairy-who movement the band so admires, pit er pat can be described as an expressive work of fantastic adventure - compelling, arousing and mysterious. * Fulborn Teversham (Pickled Egg) are the mindblowing new group of Seb Rochford, the xtraordinarily in-demand and prolific drummer/composer, leader of Mercury Music prize nominees Polar Bear, and winner of BBC Jazz award for Rising Star 2004. The line-up also includes Pete Wareham (Acoustic Ladyland, Polar Bear) on saxophone, Nick Ramm (Cinematic Orchestra, Clown Revisted) on keyboards, and vocalist Alice Grant (also with Leafcutter John). The group pursues a more eclectic, less overtly jazz direction than Polar Bear, incorporating elements of electronica, Henry Cow-style prog and post punk. With clever balancing of cosmic and acoustic sounds, Fulborn Teversham offer up an intimate and thrilling futuristic improvisational post-jazz, post-punk chamber music. Their debut album, 'Count Herbert II' is available now from Pickled Egg. * Quack Quack is the newest and most essential band featuring neil turpin (polaris/bilgepump/HiM/baby harp seal). they’re a three piece instrumental, instrument-swapping band you’ll also no doubt have heard of in recent months following a couple of much-talked-about-afterwards shows in good old glasgow. the music of quack quack isn’t easy to categorize, but take a shared spirit of improvisation and a healthy disregard for well trodden musical paths and you’re moving in the right direction. like the great rhythm sections of james brown, africa 70, can and led zeppelin, quack quack operate right next to your heartbeat and your footsteps. they understand the importance of rhythm and use it to get the good chemicals flowing. this is music for dancing and smiling. Who will forget their amazing 1st visit to Aberdeen a few weeks ago. http://www.myspace.com/piterpat http://www.myspace.com/fulbornteversham http://www.myspace.com/thisisquackquack http://www.myspace.com/interestingmusic |
