Others will tell you that 65daysofstatic’s time is now, but I disagree: their achievements to date are commendable and no mistake, but there’s another echelon or two to their sound yet to be revealed...»
About the venue
Islington Academy
The newest Carling Academy is really the old revamped Marquee, but with decent bands playing there. Next to Angel's GAP store, it boasts one of the best PAs in town and holds about 800. Sister venue is that IA2.»
About the artists
65daysofstatic
65daysofstatic is currently Joe Fro, Paul Wolinski, Rob Jones and Simon Wright; Feedle, Iain Armstrong and Gareth Hughes are former members.
The band are primarily instrumental, using beats and glitches alongside crunched guitars and hardcore drums.
65days originally formed, allegedly, to try and write music to fit the unreleased and little known John Carpenter flick Stealth Bomber starring Kurt Russell. Set over "65 Days of Static", a period of time after some unknown global infrastructre and communications breakdown, it also gave 65 their name.
Apparently.

Misty's Big Adventure
Messy, eclectic pop from band large in number and large in ideas. Fronted by Grandmaster Gareth. Favourites of Radio 1's John Peel... unsurprisingly.»
Emmy the Great
Emmy The Great used to be in a band. Then one day the band stopped showing up to rehearsals. And when she bumped into the band at college or at Sainsburys, her band would go 'Look! Frank Sinatra!' and scarper. So Emmy took the hint and started playing by herself.
Sometimes she plays with a mysterious man with a violin bow. Sometimes she also plays in groups.»
