RFB PRESENTS... ULTRASOUND
+ special guests

LONDON: The Lexington
THU 9TH SEP, 2010 7.30pm
Rockfeedback presents...

ULTRASOUND (special one-off re-union show)- When Tim Smith of the Cardiacs suffered (ironically) a heart attack, Ultrasound were asked to reform for a benefit concert to raise money for him, and of course they couldn’t refuse, so at the start of the new decade, the 5 members of Ultrasound met, and with 4 clicks of the sticks, arrived back home. With this a decision was made to reform - currently rehearsing and writing material for a new album. This marks a sneak preview of material classic and new for the cult Rough Trade band - former media darlings, fan faves and legendary characters.

good work

tickets procured.

i still remember a beautiful moment of awakening from a mid afternoon crew nap at the back of the venue (sheffield octagon) to the sound of the start of same band being soundchecked.
lovely.

New album?

didn't expect that.

Does Everything Picture still sound decent? I haven't heard it in about 6 years - must check later on...

- It could do with a TINY (geddit) bit of editing
  
  i.e. chop off the long silence + bonus track at the end, drop Fame Thing (yeah sorry) but the rest of the album is goddamn GOLDEN, especially Aire & Calder whose outro still sounds like the 90's getting put in a blender and blasted into space

This is so ridiculous I have to go.

But at the risk of sounding pedantic: 'currently rehearsing and writing material for a new album' kind of makes the bit about 'special one-off reunion show' sound a bit like bullshit to me.

  - so worth it
    
    I can't believe no one has replied to this post show, it was so.good. I never managed to see them the first time round, and it was remarkable to see themperform the way they did after an 11 year break.
    
    I hadn't realised before how much those guitar parts add to the overall sound, and the old songs were great. not so sure about the new material, though that 2nd new song is pretty epic.

    - Yes
      
      They were excellent. Could have done with Kurt Russell or Football Meat getting a showing in the encores though.

    - yeah Sovereign Heart was pretty fucking tasty
      
      having the balls to end on a new song after 11 years = the new song must be epic

Amazing gig

Amazing band. I never did understand why they broke up after capturing my heart. It's lovely to have them back and (plug disclaimer) you can read my review of the show in the next Artrocker mag. If you like!

ricrawlins | 10 Sep '10, 03:02 | X | ^ This | Reply
AWESOME!

Oh my god, that was one of the best gigs I have ever been to. It felt like everyone had been touched by their music the 1st time round, and everyone was singing back to the band. The band looked like they were really enjoying it too. Liked the new songs, but Everything Picture, Same Band, Stay Young, Over There....all were SO BRILLIANT. Bring on the new album.

I didn't expect it to be that good

but it was brilliant! The singalong to I'll Show You Mine was probably the highlight but was a great night. Tempted to go to the Bull and Gate gig now.

roastthemonaspit | 10 Sep '10, 09:09 | X | ^ This | Reply
aye

it was really good.

would have loved Kurt Russell though.

the guitarist still looked about 25 somehow.

tempted by bull and gate show too as my mate has a ticket he's touting round to get an accomplice.

was anyone else a fan of minuteman?

I was always hoping for a second album.

ElGenerico | 10 Sep '10, 09:44 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I was!
  
  Massive fan. Very under-rated. Used to dish out cd's after gigs for them. Matt was a really nice guy so I hope he gets a bit of success second time round.

So it's 2012 and Ultrasound have done an album.

Some people are saying it's good!

To celebrate this, they are doing a gig this Thursday at the Scala.

Tickets are £9adv.

But, because ADDING VALUE TO YOU ADDS VALUE TO US we've managed to trim the fat from the old price: http://www.wegottickets.com/sct/QWyXQQcEyt

^you can get a ticket for £5

Secondary support from a band called SCANNERS

Additional support from a band called DINGUS KHAN

Safe, Friendly, and Secure

      - will also say
        
        that by far the best tracks on the new album are the four long ones. should have kept going in that direction tbh! don't change a winning formula etc, especially when that winning formula is overblown prog-indie :D

Anyone know what the real times are?

Doors don't open until 7.30 - Dingus can't be playing as people walk in.

lordscopie | 4 Oct '12, 14:42 | X | ^ This | Reply
- i'd guess 15 minutes later
  
  or maybe 30 later max.
