Hey there,

CHARLES HAYWARD:

CHARLES HAYWARD is known as the pioneering drummer with This Heat and Camberwell Now, an ever growing list of solo concerts and CDs (forthcoming solo release: “ONE BIG ATOM”, 2011), special collaborative performances, and is in Massacre with Bill Laswell and Fred Frith. Throughout the 90’s up to the present he has initiated a bewildering array of events and performances, including the widely acclaimed series Accidents + Emergencies at the Albany Theatre, Out of Body Orchestra (too much sound, not enough space, not enough time), music made from the sound of the new Laban dance centre being built which was choreographed for the official opening, music for a circus (part of the National Theatre’s ‘Art of Regeneration’ initiative), the full-on installation/performance Anti-Clockwise (with Ashleigh Marsh and David Aylward) for multiple strobes, maze structure of diverse textures, 2 drummers, synthesizers and your nervous system. Recent developements include the Continuity evenings as part of Camberwell Arts. Committed to song ‘but the shapes have to change,’ his current one-man show is an intoxicating mix of percussive attack, swirling electronics and lyrical fragment collage.

CAPILLARY ACTION

Equal parts samba school density and Beefheartian primitivism; pure pop bliss and chamber ensemble precision, Capillary Action are an American musical ensemble that cannibalize a wide variety of sources to synthesize a cubist, confrontational take on classical pop forms.

Led by composer/singer/guitarist Jonathan Pfeffer, Capillary Action’s music is typified by its frenetic pace, dense harmonies, broad dynamics, elastic rhythmic interplay and confessional tone. Far from pastiche or collage, central to Pfeffer’s modus operandi is the challenge of eliminating the distinctions between chaos and clarity; art and pop; and consonance and disonance to communicate complex, ambiguous and extremely personal experiences through song.

Since 2005, Capillary Action have maintained a staunch DIY approach to its operation, releasing music on its own Natural Selection imprint and sharing stages far and wide alongside Beirut, Rhys Chatham, Deerhoof, Owen Pallett, Lightning Bolt, Shudder to Think, Dirty Projectors and Les Claypool, amongst others

SPOOK OF THE 13th LOCK
The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock is music from Dublin, Ireland. Named after a poem about a haunted canal lock, The Spook play in the Irish folk tradition delving into the realms of psych, kraut, prog and post rock. Sometimes a single player, a folk trio or a full on psych-rock band, the Spook have a unique take on the idea of Irish folk rock.

To date they have released a critically acclaimed self titled debut album on renowned Irish/Japanese label Transduction records and played numerous concerts around Ireland, including several performances at the Electric Picnic and Knockanstockan festivals. The album has been distributed by Cavallero in Ireland, Cargo in the UK and by Catune in Japan and is also available on iTunes. In February 2009 the band embarked on a week long Japanese Tour.

The band have just completed their second album "The Brutal Here and Now" with acclaimed producer Steve Shannon and are due to release it Summer 2011.

Charles Hayward, amazing as ever. Thanks to the very very vocal crowd who helped turn this into a very special performance. CH was totally buzzed out by it. Great to see.

Spook were great as ever and can't wait to hear the new album.
