INFORMATION
GLAM-OU-RAMA & TESCODISCO present BREAKING GLASS
This Hallowe’en TESCODISCO and GLAM-OU-RAMA combine forces to bring you Breaking Glass, a night dedicated to the darker, underground, synthetic sound of the late 70s and early to mid 80s and bands inspired by that period. From familiar 80s names like Depeche Mode, Human League, John Foxx, Kraftwerk, Fad Gadget, Soft Cell, Siouxsie, Alphaville, Joy Division and other lesser known New Wave, Italo Disco and Industrial bands to bands of today like Adult, Fischerspooner, Freezepop, Presets, The Knife, IAMX and Vive La Fete.
Playing live we’ve got what we think are two of the most infectious bands playing the London electro circuit at the moment, or for quite a while come to that. Black Rabbit, with their dark imagery (both in their art and in their sound and lyrics) are the perfect Hallowe’en band and will be opening the night at 9:30. Then at 10:30 come Heartbreak, a pulsating stab to the heart and the only band to get everyone from the crowd, bar staff to even the manager at Hedges & Butler to dance along when they played TESCODISCO earlier this year. Snippets of reviews about both bands below and of course their MySpaces to give them a listen, but these are bands that excel live and even though their MySpace songs are brilliant you have to see them live to appreciate them to their full.
DJs. Kitten (GLAM-OU-RAMA), Emily Mann (Being Boiled, Back To Nature), Tet Yap (TESCODISCO, Future Brain), Chris Flatline (TESCODISCO, Future Brain), Anna V (Vampire Crackwhores), Ricky Cox (Life In Tokyo).
Heartbreak
"Alright, you may remember back in issue 23 (Roger Sanchez cover) that we gave you, dear reader, the heads up about the Italo-cum-electro-cum-synth-pop band Heartbreak that sound like the lovechild of an orgy between Black Sabbath and Alexander Robotnick, New Order and Bangkok Impact. Perhaps a strange comparison, but one that fits perfectly. The first track 'Destroy All Power', is a high-energy, Italo stormer that sounds like Giorgio Moroder making love to Thomas Bangalter's laptop. Whereas 'Soul Transplant' is a slow burning pop track with an infectious synth-line, and amazingly unique vocals from electro virtuoso Sebastian Muravchik, whose impressive range and particular inflection blows one away more than a week in Rio. But don't sleep on 'Part Time Lover either, it's like a Jimmy Edgard and Chromeo got together to make an ode to Zapp through electronic disco. Pick it up. Quite simply genious. 7/7" (One Week to Live, June 06)
Black Rabbit
Black Rabbit’s infectious melodies, which lie somewhere between hard electro beats and haunting classical sounds, take their influence from the likes of Bjork, Chopin, Tori Amos, SpeedyJ, Fisherspooner, BT, Suzanne Vega, Thom York, Mozart, Yann Tiersen, Beck, Marilyn Manson and Lali Puna. Their theatrical take on all thing’s dark and obscure, coupled with the ability to mutate their show to their audience, make for a bewitchi
