[GIG] Meursault // Kartta // No Pasaran: Fri 11th Jan. Tunnels

[Guest idol_wild]

Hear ye, hear ye! Idol Wild Promotions is very proud to bring you another concert. For your ears and eyes only...

Meursault

Easily Edinburgh's finest ever unsigned act, Meursault return to Aberdeen after a highly successful show with Kitchen Cynics and No Pasaran back in August. Back then, Meursault was one man, an acoustic guitar, a banjo, a ukelele, a laptop, and lots of effects pedals. This time he will have accompaniment. It will be even louder and even better. An overwhelming blend of electronics, traditional folk music, and ethereal melancholy, Meursault possess the ability to truly melt your heart. I still can't fathom why Meursault, essentially, are unsigned.

For fans of: Xiu Xiu, Iron & Wine, Port-Royal, Postal Service.

Kartta

A noisey and literate alt-pop band from Aberdeen. Six members. Three guitars. Xylophones. Korgs. Toy accordians. Tambourines. Handclaps. Songs about books. Songs about conceit. Meursault may well melt your heart; Kartta will melt your face.

For fans of: Built To Spill, Lift To Experience, The Twilight Sad, The Chameleons, Explosions In The Sky, Broken Social Scene, Dinosaur Jr.

No Pasaran

I challenge you to find me a more beautiful collective in Aberdeen. Their songs are warm, sensous, and mind-blowingly romantic. The their technical ability is often overlooked, but their song-writing ability certainly isn't. Best listened to with your lover's hand in yours.

For fans of: Iron & Wine, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, early REM, Calexico.

All for three of your Earthly pounds.

"The their". Wow. I am a grammatical genius.

[framheim]

we don't sound anything like the twilight sad. or dinosaur jnr for that matter.

[davewarden]

yeah but it says for fans of, not sounds like.

[Guest idol_wild]

I never said for a single moment that Kartta did sound like them.

[Old Gold]

Three buckeroos is a bargain. I daresay I might stop by.

[framheim]

I never said for a single moment that Kartta did sound like them.

no but it's implied by the wording. i think fans of dinosaur jnr would think we fucking suck balls. so there.

i should point out though that fans of good music will fucking love meursalt and no pasaran as they're just ace.

[Guest idol_wild]

Most of the people who go to see Kartta like Dinosaur Jr though...

I also don't think Kartta sound like any of the other bands I mentioned. Except, perhaps, and hopefully, Built To Spill. In places.

And I don't think you're literate but that didn't stop you describing yourselves as that either

[Pancho]

And I don't think you're literate but that didn't stop you describing yourselves as that either

In fact I'd say that were are mostly illiterate most of the time, I can't read and Michael cant count.

[all_his_engines]

Woe is Kartta. You boys need to start slapping your own backs sooner or later. I for one will find it a true pleasure to witness you guys in a live setting once more. Plus, Meursault will be awesome. And, you know, I'll be playing.....so I have to be there anyway. But rest assured that if I didn't, I still would be. Or something.

GO IDOL WILD!!!!

[Guest idol_wild]

I think you will love Meursault more

[Panda Strong]

This sounds nice, i'll probably pop along.

I hadn't heard Meursault before, but they sound ace.

Edit: Nothing Broke on their myspace is wonderful!

Edit again: Salt pt2 is even better. Fo realz.

That tune kills me every time. The man is a genius.

[Guest idol_wild]

Rob from Kartta is dj'ing until 3am after the show, which will be a treat. He will be armed with many nuggets of pure musical gold. He even takes requests.

Before and inbetween each bands my iPod has a delicious playlist created especially for you. You can expect to hear The Notwist, Arab Strap, Bedhead, Xiu Xiu, Blonde Redhead, Built To Spill, Four Tet, Lift To Experience, Neutral Milk Hotel, Broken Social Scene, Wilderness, Parts & Labor, The Twilight Sad, B. Fleischmann, and much more...

[Guest idol_wild]

Just to keep it up there, in the hope that someone might attend.

[framheim]

people better attend or they'll be sorry they missed meursault.

[Alan Cynic]

I am looking forward to this a lot.

One question...why is Hugh about to attack that poor wee lassie on the poster?o_O

[Sam 45]

Good luck with this een Mr Phil.

Because he's a sex pest.

[Guest idol_wild]

Good luck with this een Mr Phil.

Cheers min. I can't really afford to lose money on this one, so fingers crossed a decent number of people turn out. Meursault alone is worth many pounds; let alone the sophistication of No Pasaran.

[Alan Cynic]

Because he's a sex pest.

You're right...I never thought it through:laughing:

I saw Meursault getting a few mentions on the 'Foxy Digitalis' end-of-year lists.

They also gave this excellent review....
