for those unfamiliar....

Biography:

Year 1995. Initially it was a drums, bass and effected vocals lineup (Brian Gibson - bass, Brian Chippendale - drums, Hisham Bharoocha - vocals). . Sounding kinda like a spaced out hard rock band, they milled the student basement parties and crazy rock shows of the time. Good band, but searching for a sound. All three were Rhode Island School of Design art school students. The band had one release under this line-up with the track "Revenege" on the Repopulation Program dbl-LP/CD (LOAD) in1996. Hisham Bharoocha subsequently left the band, moved to New York City and joined Black Dice as drummer. Brian Gibson and Brian Chippendale who then lived at Fort Thunder, a music and art collective in their homebase of Providence, Rhode Island and released a split 7" with oscillator squawkers, Forcefield (Load Records) and toured the United States. 1999 saw the release of their debut full length, "First Record" a.k.a. "the Yellow Record". People began to notice this noisy two piece as they would play immediately after an opening band’s set at ungodly volumes on the floor. Following the release of the album, bassist, Brian Gibson took a short sabbatical, moving to Brooklyn to work on animation but after a year had passed, Gibson moved back release a tour seven inch 'Conan' and toured the U.S with renewed vigour and the biggest bass rig seen to man!

At this point there was no denying the obvious power and strength of the band’s ear-splitting attack. Load Records enlisted David Auchenbach (Small Factory) to help produce the band's second album, "Ride the Skies". “Ride The Skies” was the first time the band succeeded in making their songs cut through deafening volume and find its way to popular acclaim. In between 2001 and 2003, the band toured the United States with the Oops tour with American crazy rock artists like the Locust, Arab on Radar, Wolf Eyes and Erase Errata.

2003 saw the release of the band's third record, "Wonderful Rainbow" (Load), with even wider distribution. Dave Auchenbach again produced the record and a lot of critical acclaim followed. The band toured far and wide including Japan, the UK and Europe in between doing full tours of the U.S.

"HyperMagic Mountain" is the most ambitious record yet, The release was primarily recorded as two track recordings by Dave Auchenbach to accurately capture the bands improvisational brand of post-gabber rockulism. Raw yet intelligible, this record moves Lightning Bolt to the top of the class in leader's of populist avant rock sweepstakes.

He rounded off 2004 with a secret show with friends, LIGHTNING BOLT and as a special guest of the BBC for the live Maida Vale memorial tribute to JOHN PEEL - a great supporter of the fried-food fiend's bombastic noize work.

2005 saw him play tour support to THE GO! TEAM, and MELT BANANA, rule the VENN and GLADE festivals, headline the ADAADAT and WRONG MUSIC label tours, and hit both Japan and Europe, hard.

Scotch_small2 When not expanding his already obese catalogue of ear-drum rupturing gabba-gabba techno, Scotch Egg enjoys circuit bending with fellow WRONG MUSIC founder, SHITMAT. Though not so much these days, as he's moved from his UK-home base of Brighton to Liverpool. The Wrong Music nights continue, and the now eponimus breakcore/spazzrock/noize club has grown into a killer record label.

The story of DJ SCOTCH EGG is bizarre and possibly fabricated. None the less, it's told like this: For years he went solely by the name of SHIEZE 2000, but after he was approached by a "manufacturer of microwaveable delicacies (who shall remain nameless)" needing some underground noise music credibility for their latest range, things began to change.

Like the metaphoric peeling away of the breadcrumbed sausage meat and the subsequent reveal of the shrivelled tender egg beneath, DJ SCOTCH EGG shrugged his Casio techno and any and all dealings with irradiated food from his round shoulders. Somewhere in a darkened room a cry rang out...a megaphone was borrowed (from Adaadat's ATOM TRUCK), a Gameboy was brutalised... DJ SCOTCH EGG was born.

The Japanese noize machine released his album "KFC CORE", at the end of 2005 through Adaadat records (which is already into it's second pressing).

opening the gig will be aberdeens finest PROJECT:VENHELL

I've never heard of Project: Venhell but I'm listening to new album 'Ifeelbackwhatthey'relookingatmefor" and its tremendous fun. I've just opened the inlay card of the CD and it just says 'Nothing.' It's Genius. If this lot ever give up music they could be art terrorists or comedians. Unfortunately I'm listening to this at home, the baby is asleep and the missus wants to watch Desperate Housewives in a minute so I'm not able to listen to the whole thing. From what I've heard the vocals are nicely distorted and there are some aggressive, speaker shredding riffs and tight arrangements on this here 8 tracker of uncompromising punk rock. Apparently they're from Aberdeen. They're well up for it this week these jocks like ;0) In conclusion: Music to wake the baby and piss off the missus. On Valentine Bitch records.

the amazingNORMAN RECORDS said those nice things
