Neptune
Hey,
We're putting on this band in Southampton in November, but they are touring all over and I think they deserve your attention. I saw them last time they were over here and I can safely say that they are one of the best bands I have ever seen. They've played with the likes of Lightning Bolt, Liars, Melt Banana, mission of Burma, The Ex etc...
Neptune is a band from Boston, Massachusetts, that initially began as a sculpture project. the band played its first gig in a basement in late '94. currently neptune consists of 3 members playing home made instruments. the music is noisy and uncombed, a concoction of busted garage and incorrect math and combined with bike parts, saws, old metal chairs, hobo electronics, amplified springs, metal drums with contact mics inside and other debris found in the trash. with several different members and collaborators over the years, the music has evolved with the instruments, blending the traditional sounds of rock music with what sounds like mistake-day at the ballbearing factory. jason sculpts most of his instruments out of scrap metal, mark has taken an interest in electronics culminating in the assembly of a small army of nifty synthesisers. dan has mastered the fine art of building debt and breaking stuff
