The Edmund Fitzgerald

The Edmund Fitzgerald, One Unique Signal, *Teevo at Colchester Arts Centre, Thu 19 Aug

Review by Colin Weston

With arguably the best line up Colchester has seen in an age, the Arts Centre is about ready to explode. But will the local cool crowd be here to see it? Colin Weston surveys the scene...»

Arts Centre

The current main venue in Colchester. Hosts many bands festival warm up gigs inc. Ash, Idlewild and Mansun in the past.

Map to the venue is found here.»

The Edmund Fitzgerald

Teenage post-rocking 3-piece.»

One Unique Signal

Formed in West London at the start of 2001 as a part time venture, One Unique Signal play loud guitar based music that leans slightly towards the Krautrock underbelly that can be heard lurking in the rhythms of Joy Division and the repetition of Loop. The excellent local response prompted a more serious outlook to the bands overall approach which in turn led them to move further outside the local ‘safe’ venues.»

*Teevo

*teevo are an exciteable boy/girl four piece from sunny Essex - citing their influences as Placebo, Elastica, The Pixies, Yourcodenameis:milo, Urusei Yatsura, Idlewild, Sonic Youth, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead and Seafood.

Formed in 2003 from the ashes of Britpop and playing gigs in awful bands when they were 14, *teevo have notched up an impressive amount of gigs around the country - supporting the likes of Kasabian and The Long Blondes and headlining gigs in London.

In 2005 *teevo attracted the attention of Chromium Records - and release their debut single on 2nd January 2006.
