Armed Ambitons // Organised Ideas is proud to announce a five day tour around Ireland by two of Dublins most Hefty acts Vimanas and Herv .
Vimanas:
Vimanas are a hefty outfit consisting of a jittering bassist whose spas-tastic bopping drives the bass to seduce chunky guitar riffs in a thrashy molotov with an overlaying drum beat that rips the heart out of non-believers. Just after releasing their long awaited EP on Armed Ambitions records , this has received raving reviews . Featuring members of “Adebisi Shank” and “Terrodactly” this band is not to be meddled with.
Herv:
Herv's music is a frantic swarm of 8-bit melody and syncopated percussion, punctuated by warm wind instruments and layered violin and cello lines. Live, Herv works solely with a laptop and Nintendo Gameboy. While much of his recorded output concerns itself with complex melodic and percussive interplay, his live sets lean more towards the harder end of the electronic spectrum, mixing chaotic chip tunes alongside breakcore and gabba. In the past, Herv has played with artists such as Venetian Snares, Shitmat, Jason Forrest, Duran Duran Duran, Dev/Null, Xanopticon, Hrvatski, Chevron, Aaron Spectre, Dj Scotch Egg, Ove-naxx, Doddodo, and Max Tundra. Has just released his new album on Armed Ambitions Records and Acroplane and is available for FREE download from www.organisedideas.org .
Armed Ambitions Bio:
Armed Ambitons // Organised Ideas was started a few years ago when the first communique was made to audiences via promoting DIY gigs in the form of 'Organised Ideas'; who has since organised benefit gigs for such causes as Shell 2 Sea, Indymedia and The Brains Collective. Organised Ideas is also a part of the Porco Dio collective.
The other side of the project is Armed Ambitions which is an independent record label and publisher. The aim of Armed Ambitions is to support and release Independent bands and to help promote their music both nationaly and internationaly, fully involving artists in all aspects of this process . Armed Ambitions is currently working with a few different bands from varied genres and has two releases to date plus many more on the way .
