Just a quick message to let you know that the Karhide gig on the 2nd April has moved from the Speakeasy to the Old Angel in Nottingham because of the venue changing hands.

GALLEONS - http://www.myspace.com/galleonsuk
"More than a decade since the release of their classic Calculating Infinity, the twisted technicality of Dillenger Escape Plan's earliest incarnations continue to inspire new bands to unleash bewildering tornado's of hectic noise. Nottingham's Galleons are the latest bunch to drink from Dillinger's cup and utilise off-the-wall timings, chaotic ... See Morerhythms and discordant riffs. They've only been in existence some six months, but that's not stopped them from honing their chops into precisely the sort of fret board scorching, drum kit-abusing sonic assult that have made Dillinger one of the most exciting things to ever happen to extreme music ever. It's an impressive proposition, but only time will tell whether their own ideas that they've stuck in here will mature into something equally brilliant." Kerrang
KARHIDE - http://www.myspace.com/karhide
Combining backing tracks from a laptop with live music, Karhide shows himself as a craftsman and pioneer of driving, atmospheric sound.
The instrumental meanderings build in pace and stamina, which resonate into textured landscapes that swell in beautiful melody before falling into heavy troughs of grab-you-in-the-chest sound. As a first time listener, the music draws me in as it takes on a hypnotic persona and resonates through the minimally populated Chameleon. Karhide is definitely worth keeping an ear on.
