Andy Mulhern Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Vocoustics 1st Eletronica Nightwww.myspace.com/beachesoftheproudThink: Post -rock bands like Mogwai/Explosions in the Sky, mixed with the more electronic influences of Warp artists.For fans of: Sigur Ros, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Mogwai, Mum, Godspeed you Black Emperor!, Explosions in the Sky."As soaring and celestial as Boards of Canada playing on a balloon ride to Atlantis"METRO"You can hear the heart and passion in the recording, it has a life that most electronica lacks. If folk noir and antifolk have an instrumental counterpart this is it."FATEA "With [Webster's] multi-layered approach, he takes you from crashing, crushing crescendos to subtle, sensitive serenity - music for the mind, music for the moment... a mighty fine outing that shows guts, dedication and innovation"TOXIC PETE"This is a highly impressive EP. It's steeped in complexities, excellent song writing but most of all displays a level of humanity that is so often missing from electronic acts. 10/10"TASTY FANZINE"The most important element of this EP is that Beaches have kept on their toes, changing things around and avoiding formula-songs to make each of the five tracks appealing in its own right"THE MAG"Among the more contemporary and obvious influences like Boards of Canada or Mogwai, you can hear echoes of Durutti Column, at least to these ears. Not only is this refreshing but like Vini Reilly all those years ago in the milieu of punk it is at times inspiring work."BAD ROBOTBIO:"Beaches of the Proud is an electronica/IDM/Ambient/Downtempo act formed by Dave Webster, who used to be the Guitarist/Synthist/Vocalist from Glasgow band The Makos. It started off as a side project from The Makos, containing songs that didn't really fit in with the direction we were going, however, it kind of snowballed, and after I got some great feedback on the music and playing the songs live, I've now turned Beaches into a regular live act, with (occasional) visuals and everything.If you've seen/heard of Beaches before, I really recommend you come and see a few live shows, as I work very hard to make each show as "live" as possible, and different to the last one, which involves new songs, different versions of old songs, and new segues. It's mostly improvisation based, so sometimes even I don't totally know whats going to happen. I DO NOT USE COMPUTERS its all done on hardware sequencers etc and live instruments, I just feel its a bit more exciting to see music being created live rather than staring at a laptop screen."Support TBC5 from 8pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Help ma kiltthis was written in culturedelux.comNow, it's not often that the drummer steals the show, but tonight local sticksman and sometime standup comic Biz the drummer is sitting in for Miss the Occupier. Armed with a syn drum artillery and frequently checking some hastily-written instructions, it's very hard to take your eyes of Mr Biz as he keeps perfect time while flamboyantly twirling his sticks between beats.

Biz Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 probably My stunning choreography is a joy in itself, the piano dance in particular juxtaposed with the horrors of nuclear war would make Wayne Sleep hae at least a semi on .
