Sky:Lark!, Kind Eyes and Spite House. Sep 29th 2012.

Facebook event details: https://www.facebook.com/events/213646168761043/

An evening of lovely post punk riffs and gentlemanly lungeing in Rochester.
Sky:Lark!
Big riffs and big beats played by two goons and a kook from Thanet and London. These guys play awesome, brutal post-hardcore with a sense of humour. Amazing rhythm section, too. I love Sky:Lark!

Kind Eyes
Riff rock from Margate. Formed of members of We Are Carnivores and Motherboy favourites Wedding, Kind Eyes make an incredibly full sound for a two piece.

Spite House
Ex-Cuss Words and Georgia Asphalt members playing noisy awkward punk rock that sounds a bit like Bluetip/Jawbox/Cinemechanica. Fantastic drumming and wonderful math rock timings.

One Man Team Dance, Theo and Chairs Missing, Sep 14th 2012.

Fri Sep 14th: One Man Team Dance, Theo, Chairs Missing

September 4, 2012

The Nag’s Head. Free entry as usual.

This night will have an alt electronica vibe with casios, loop pedals and vintage drum kits.

One Man Team Dance are a two piece from High Wycombe, whose energetic live show has earned them fans throughout the UK, USA and Europe. Their frantic drumming and insane casio keyboard hooks make for something special and unique indeed. Not to be missed! Go listen to them here: http://omtd.bandcamp.com/

Theo (Loops of Death) is a one man band from London and puts on an astonishing performance. His soundcloud bio says “Taut, chugging guitar loops layer up with frenetic tapping patterns that interweave in spiralling complexity before near sub-atomically precise, powerhouse drumming clatters and builds each song into juggernaut of riffs and rhythms. To achieve something like this recorded is one thing, but to see Theo perform live is quite another as each song blurs into the next and the dazzling guitar and drum acrobatics leave jaws sagging on the faces of all who bear witness to the talent on offer. “
Having seen Theo play, I can say that’s a pretty accurate description!

Local support comes in the form of Ben Sammon’s alt electronica project Chairs Missing. Eclectically influenced, Ben’s tracks are an impressive mix of dubstep, seapunk, reggae and drum and bass.
Should be a great night!
