Vessels - (Cuckundoo records) - a soaring, vast expanse of chiming glacial guitars, electronic squelches and turbulent rhythms that incorporates exhilarating bursts of sound with gorgeously sedate introspective moments.

Kontakte - (Enraptured) - draw from all sides of the sonic spectrum fusing together deep passions for Post - Drone - Space and Krautrock. The bands love for distorted beats, transience and star-scraping melodies informs them on their quest to create music of depth, space and intensity.

This et al - (On the bones) - a band creating epic sounding indie rock steeped in windswept emotion and stadium rocking aspirations.

Organ 'zine
Kontakte has been named Demo of the week in Organ magazine.
This is what it says:
We're just going to tell you about the very very best once a week, no more time for the average, only the most exciting - we're very very selective, when we tell you it's good then it really is goooooooood
DEMO OF THE WEEK: KONTAKTE – Instrumental three piece from London, a fine blend of drones and positively repetitive post-rock textures that build in to anthemic relish. Transient beats and delicate hints of warm distortion.
Pleasant, easy bits of restrained refined Sigur Ros and Spiritualized that uncoil in their own way in their own time and relaxing uncluttered space
i think
we're making the trip over from leeds for this, it looks ace.
and seeing as how the doors are at 9, we might have time to see greg haines at hedge first...
YES.
cool
first band should be on at about 9.20 but DJs Jakes and Fever will be playing from 9 of the PM when the gates are opened...remember this si upstairs, y'don't want to be stumbling into the gig downstairs...you have been warned.
