Stars of The Lid (Kranky)
Formed in Austin, Texas in 1993, SOTL is composed of two members — Brian
McBride and Adam Wiltzie. Stars of the Lid is a duo specializing in
drone-based ambient music. They list among their influences minimalist and
electronic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Zbigniew Preisner, Gavin Bryars, and
Henryk Górecki, as well as Talk Talk (both bands have tracks named
"Taphead"), post-rock artists Labradford, and ambient innovator Brian Eno.
Their songs are largely beatless soundscapes, composed of droning,
effects-treated guitars along with piano, strings, and horns; volume swells
and feedback fill the gap of rhythmic instruments, providing dynamic
movement within the songs. Their sound has been described as "divine,
classical drone without the tedious intrusion of drums or vocals". SOtL will be
joined live by a trio of string players, featuring cello, violin & viola. SOtL always
create an amazing atmosphere by utilising a battery of visuals. Tonight SOtL
on their long awaited Aberdeen debut & very rare Scottish date will be nothing
less than ASTOUNDING

Remember Remember (Rock Action)
New signings to the ever impressive label above Remember Remember have
been WoWing their prestigous & well connected Glasgow audiences for a couple
of years. Playing this event as a three piece this is another wonderful band making
their Aberdeen debut.

A recent review passed to me via a contact.
The Royal We / Remember Remember
Glasgow Stereo (5th November 2007)
Graeme J.D. Ronald has in the past contributed to the cause of fellow
Glaswegians, Mogwai. He also plays bass in the evening’s headliners, The
Royal We, so he was undoubtedly amongst friends in the rapidly filling room.
As a ‘warm up band’ there couldn’t have been anything more polarized, the
sweeping, ambient soundscapes a world apart from the bouncy, perkiness of
the main act. This is where the comfort of the aforementioned friends becomes
useful. However, whilst the music of Remember Remember may lack the
sparkle and fireworks of what was to follow, there is no denying the talent
and vision. Looping guitar, and looped sound effects produced by such
diverse ‘instruments’ as wind-up toys, rolls of duck-tape and a recorder
amongst others, Graeme managed to hold the audience spellbound throughout
the set, which culminated in the fascinating crescendo of noise that is
‘Stationary – Part 2.’

GLISSANDO (Gizeh)
Also appearing as part of this magnificent three artist line-up are
Glissando. Formed in 2002, Glissando create breathtaking soundscapes with piano and guitar. Add to that the beautiful haunting vocals of Elly May Irving and something quite wonderous is formed before your very ears. Based in Leeds, UK, the core of the band is
Elly May Irving and Richard Knox but live shows often feature other players. In the past
this has included members of Her Name is Calla and Immune. The ambient and sometimes experimental sounds bring to mind the likes of Low, Gregor Samsa, Bat For Lashes,
Stars of the Lid and Cocteau Twins. Glissando have released several limited edition
CDr's on Richard's Gizeh and Loom record labels, most recently a collection of old works entitled 'Loves Are Like Empires'. This release marked an end to the duo's more
experimental music and has forged a path to the more melodic direction Glissando are
now heading in. A track entitled 'Floods' will be released in December 07 on a Brew
Records commpilation. By the time they come to playthis event their NEW album will
just be out & we are quite sure will start gathering wonderful plaudits from those who
review it. Last Oct they supported SOtL in an amazing church in Leeds & are very
excited to be playing with them again.

what Synergy Concerts are saying about Stars Of The Lid...

After just narrowly missing Scotland on their autumn tour last year, this is a rare opportunity to see one of the most exceptional bands in existence today. Drone legends Stars Of The Lid have been making pristine and mesmerising ambient music for almost fifteen years, but following a five year silence, last year’s release "And Their Refinement of the Decline" was universally recognised as their finest album to date; complementing their trademark barrage of delayed, swelling guitars withskillful combined orchestration.

“Acoustic vs. electric, cryptic vs. obvious, joyous vs. sorrowful are articulated and probed… it's
the final and greatest example of that special thing that happens, with all due respect to their
fine solo material, only when these two get together.” - Mark Richardson, Pitchfork

Admirable optimism...or is it pessimism?
