What? Upset The Rhythm present Atlanta, Georgia’s Deerhunter. Following a storming sold out Scala show in May Bardford Cox and band return to top this mouth watering bill. Expect surf tinged experimental indie tracks with monstrous vocal and guitar effects. Karen-O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) has hailed their live show as a ‘religious experience’. For Fans Of: Grizzly bear, Animal Collective, Atlas Sound.
Health are main support. An experimental L.A. four piece who have received praise and attention by the bucket load over the past 12 months or so. Crystal Castles (not to be confused with Crystal Antlers below!) have even tried their hand at remixing their Crimewave track with miraculous results. If you’ve heard it be warned it sounds nothing like the original! Noisy, percussive prog-ish tracks. For Fans Of: Battles, Animal Collective.
Crystal Antlers are a phenomenal band from Long beach, California. They too have prog-ish tendenices and to a ceratin extent evoke the sound of The Mars Volta whose keboardist Ikey Owens has produced the band. Their debut album ‘Tentacles’ has been one of the year’s highlights so far as was their recent performance at The Great Escape. For Fans Of: The Mars Volta, At The Drive In, Abe Vigoda.
