Glissando + My Kappa Roots + Lamplighter @ Tunnels 2

[Guest idol_wild]

Idol Wild Promotions is exceptionally proud to present to you...

GLISSANDO

MySpace.com - GLISSANDO - new album out now - Leeds, UK - Ambient / Experimental / Alternative - www.myspace.com/glissando

After gracing The Tunnels stage earlier this year supporting Stars of the Lid, Leeds outfit Glissando return with their deliciously dark and melancholic ambience. Richard Knox's delicately bowed guitar soundscapes underpin Elly May Irving's haunting voice and brooding piano. With nods in the direction of Gregor Samsa, Bat for Lashes, and even Low, Glissando blend soothing experimentalism with serene melody.

MY KAPPA ROOTS

MySpace.com - My Kappa Roots - Glasgow, UK - Other - www.myspace.com/mykapparootsmusic

My Kappa Roots is the monicker adopted by a lovely fellow named Pablo. He possesses a warm, soft voice which accompanies stunning, yet somehow discreet, finger plucked guitar. He's garnering quite a reputation in his central belt homeland and it's not hard to see why. Sensitive yet cutting, My Kappa Roots will splice you up then lovingly solder you back together.

LAMPLIGHTER

MySpace.com - LAMPLIGHTER - ABERDEEN, cloaking device, UK - Hip Hop / Emotronic / K-POP - www.myspace.com/cynicalletdown

Lamplighter is a one-man lo-fi, ambient, experimental hip-hop artist from Aberdeen. Sonically, he's hard to pin-down with a range of influences coming to the fore - indeed his own description is "some kind of hip-hop"...though without vocals. Sounds interesting, doesn't it?

[Guest idol_wild]

Cheers for your support, Dave. It's hugely appreciated - I'll certainly be in touch if extra help is required.

A lovely poster will follow in due course. Hopefully void of all spelling errors this time.

Cheers min.

I think this is possibly my best line-up since The Twilight Sad/Household (all those moons ago, it seems).

Let's hope it's similarly attended!

[RossP]

That's the first time i've seen the band name 'My Kappa Roots'

Fantastic monicker.

[TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH]

I will try my very hardest to come along to this. Really looking forward to seeing Glissando.

[lovers_spit]

My Kappa Roots has a good monicker and sounds pretty interesting, so Ill come along to check him out.

[Panda Strong]

The stuff on his Myspace isn't anywhere near as good as his album. Definitely one of the best solo acoustic...things...i've ever heard. Seriously, there's some moments on his album that are just, like, WOAH. Devastingly lovely.

My Kappa Roots ? Fleeting Like Etain ? Listen free at Last.fm

^^

Also, as it stands i can't make this

Has it always been the 19th? I'm sure it was the 20th or something. Massive diary rearrangement is in order.

His music's fantastic, I'll sort you out with a couple of songs next time you're on msn.

Is this the night after Frightened Rabbit? If so, it could be an expensive weekend for me

I'll start saving now...

It was going to be the 20th, but the IMP boys have an amazing gig at The Lemon Tree that:

a) will steal almost all of my potential punters

b) I really want to go to myself!

You can't make the 19th? This was the night we almost got This Town Needs Guns!

Pity you can't make it, dude. You should try though...

You're a teacher - we all know your kind are minted

[Jarvis]

Glissando were brill last time, I'll hit this

[RossP]

You're a teacher - we all know your kind are minted

Nae after 6 weeks of summer holiday boozing! Maybe I should go on strike for more money?

[RF Scott]

You're a teacher - we all know your kind are minted

In opposite land, yeah?

[vega]

Found Glissando really dull at Stars of the Lid, but the amount Lyndsay has went on about My Kappa Roots means I'll probably attend this. See what all the fuss is about, ken?

[Guest idol_wild]

Some artwork for you...

[girl anachronism]

Dammit, the week after I leave town and I shall most likely have no pennies to make it back

I'd have loved to have gone to this. Hope you get a good turnout.

[Guest idol_wild]

Glissando will be performing this set as a four-piece, with an individual taking care of "bass and soundscapes" and a violinist.

This will surely provide added intensity and bliss.

Yum.

[Panda Strong]

As a four piece? That's interesting. They were OK in supporting SotL, but as a 4 piece i can see it being a bit better....

The poster looks like the plan for the new university library.

The poster comes out really poorly when I try to print it which is a bit annoying.

Any Photoshop wizzes fancy touching up the actual image of the poster to allow it to print clearer? Is that even possible?

send me an email with the original and i'll have a bash. should be easy enough.

is it just the picture part which is looking a bit faint?

[SuperMike!]

The My Kappa Roots album (The House of St Colme Burnt Down) is lovely. "The Dour Festival" is pretty awesome to these ears.

Would come up for this, but working too late. Nevermind, i can see Glissando go down like a lead balloon (sadly) in a pub in Perth on the Saturday night after work. Hurrah!
