A CERTAIN RATIO (Factory Records 30th anniversary tour) in Button Factory Sat Mar 28 (1 Viewer)

[miguel_myriad]

Starting their career on Factory Records, this Manchester punk rock band were called 'Joy Division but better dressed" by the late Tony Wilson. Their explorations of funk and disco in tracks such as ‘Shack Up’ and ‘Do the Du’ have been credited as influences on acts such as LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture. ACR released ‘Mind Made Up’, their first studio album, in many moons, last year. This Irish date is part of the Factory Records 30th anniversary tour.

Support on the night comes from 202s, relative newcomers to the Irish music scene with a buzz about them that is going to gather pace over the year. Marrying vintage synth sounds with the pop instrumentation of melodicas, glockenspiels and harmonicas, then filtering the lot through a post-punk haze, the 202s are signed to Parisian indie label Le Son Du Maquis who released A Certain Ratio’s album last year also.
