Line Up:
WINTER NORTH ATLANTIC
and PITTINGTON BRASS BAND
sensational interactive visuals by JOEY SCULLY
Winter North Atlantic is the incredible music of Ed Carter, bringing together live acoustic instrumentation, analogue synths, stumbling rhythms, and dissonant melodies.
This live lineup includes Ged Benedict Robinson on drums, Mark Dixon on violin and mandolin and a one-off collaboration with Pittington Brass Band. SUBLIME in its true sense.
''...gentle collisions of reverb, acoustics, blips and beats that like a fairy tale, warm your cockles, and then without warning, reveals a ghoulish heart and send a shiver up your spine. It's smokey and oakey in a way reminiscent of Four Tet and Andy Votel of Twisted Nerve." - Sandman
THESE MONSTERS
Live VJ ABRAHAM THOMAS
Durham City's long awaited debut from Leeds prog rockers, These Monsters, consisting of Tommy Davidson on drums, Sam Pryor on guitar and vocals, Ian Thirkill on bass guitar and Johnny Farrell on the sax. Playing with the likes of The Fall, 65 Days of Static, Oceansize, Russian Circles, These Arms are Snakes, Mono, Envy, Healthier, The Whip, Foals, Youthmovies, iliketrains, Broken Records. For fans of the heavy, the prog, the jazz.
''Their sound appeals to mind and body simultaneously. The intensity, tempo and sheer volume of their frantic performance is a physical sensation'' - Sam Saunders, Leeds Carling Weekend Festival
"Creating frequently cacophonous and consistently transfixing songs, they rock like proper nut jobs in a manner that's wilfully experimental but never pretentious. Their growing reputation for putting on one hell of a live show is richly deserved." - Rock Sound Magazine
Still to be confirmed, but there are rumblings of a certain internationally acclaimed jazz-punk outfit, maybe Seth Rochford plays drums, to play provide a sensational crescendo to the event.
