Elusive Recordings present a night of live electronica
Halfset / Jimmy Behan / Formica
Saturday 11th September, Crawdaddy
Old Harcourt Street.
Doors 8pm
Adm €7
Halfset are an electronic three piece featuring Stephen Shannon (producer/engineer), Biggley (formerly of Dot Creek) & Jeff Martin who formed in 2002.
Originally conceived as a studio project to record one song, the dynamic worked so well that the band decided to rise to the challenge of taking their complicated (and heavy!) set-up to a live audience. They employ an unusual combination of beats, programming and live instruments - including vocals, guitars, glockenspiel, banjo, mandola and old analog synths. While the sound is pitched somewhere between cinematic and eclectic soundscapes, the emphasis is on melody and the result is an accessible journey through contemporary electronica.
Halfset have recorded dozens of songs and have appeared on many compilations. They will release their debut album in November on Elusive Recordings.
Jimmy Behan has already carved a niche for himself as an electronic musician who layers acoustic instruments with analog melodies.
Formica has earned a reputation as a remixer of Dublin bands (Redneck Manifesto and Messiah J to name but two) with his unique brand of spiky, quirky cut-and-paste electronica. On the night he will be accompanied by Bryan O'Connell of Weapons of Mass Destruction on a full drum kit.
