here we go then...
interesting music promotions are completely delighted to announce this following superb line up STARS OF THE LID (Kranky) + REMEMBER REMEMBER (Rock Action) + GLISSANDO (Gizeh) Friday 23rd May 2008 The Tunnels, Carnegies Brae, Aberdeen AB10 1BF. Phone (01224) 211121 Doors 8pm Advance £9+bf in person from ONE UP Records, Belmont Street, Aberdeen. Phone (01224) 642682 Or online http://www.ticketweb.co.uk On the door £10 http://www.thetunnels.co.uk http://www.myspace.com/interestingmusic 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 specialising 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. http://www.brainwashed.com/sotl http://www.myspace.com/starsofthelid http://www.kranky.net REMEMBER REMEMBER (Rock Action) New signings to the ever impressive Rock Action label, Remember Remember have been WOWing their prestigious and 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… 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.’ http://www.myspace.com/rememberremember http://www.rock-action.co.uk 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 wondrous 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 compilation. By the time they come to play this event their NEW album will just be out and 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 and are very excited to be playing with them again. http://www.myspace.com/glissando http://www.slowsecret.com ================================================== =================================== RememberRemember to bring those Caribou tickets to qualify for the FREEBIE as described in the Caribou announcement ================================================== =================================== PLEASE NOTE For those who really want to hear this wonderful evening of music, there will be an STFU or "no audience talking during artist performance" code of conduct, which will be ENFORCED!!  ================================================== =================================== 06/08/08 This Is The Kit + Morningstar + Sarah J Tingle @ The Tunnels www.myspace.com/interestingmusic |

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 06/08/08 This Is The Kit + Morningstar + Sarah J Tingle @ The Tunnels www.myspace.com/interestingmusic |
