FOUR TET
plus very special guest KID KOALA
Sunday 13th November 2005
The Empire Music Hall, Belfast
Tickets £12.50 from Virgin/Door
FOUR TET returns to Belfast after more than 2 years to play tracks from the new highly acclaimed album "Everything Ecstatic" (Domino Records) with his unique mix of folksy hooks, multi-layered tumbling drums, processed plucks and densely packed melodies...
KID KOALA (Ninja Tune) flys in from Vancouver, Canada to play a rare and mind blowing set using four turntables of cut up samples, scratching, beat juggling as he smoothly mixes jazz standards played by drunken horn players from New Orleans to hip hop from the other side and ska like you never imagined it... its quick, witty and technically absurd!!
SPIDER AND THE WEBS
plus PARTYLINE & CONTRABAND
Sunday 13th November 2005
The Bunker @ Laverys, Belfast
Admission £5 on door
Doors 5pm - 9pm
*please note that this is an early gig to enable people to attend the Four tet / Kid Koala show!!
SPIDER & THE WEBS are NOW meets WOW". Formed in the summer of 2004 by Tobi Vail (Bikini Kill,Frumpies),Chris Sutton (Dub Narcotic) and James Maeda (Serum Greys) - their sound, the result of many disparate factors is always minimal, peircing and melodic.
Out of the ashes of the Washington D.C suburban dude music scene crash the three ladies of PARTYLINE! (feat. Alison Wolfe of Bratmobile) armed with politics, punk and a penchant for partying, they party on vigilantly against boredom, the Bush regime and body control! Girls with glasses, they'll squash you like a bug!
LIARS
plus YAKUZA & SCHREINEIN

Admission £7 on door
Liars forthcoming album DRUM'S NOT DEAD (Mute Records) was partly inspired by the band's relocation from NYC to Berlin. It finds Liars taking another seismic step forward, switching continents and seizing new musical territory. It's also their finest and fullest album to date, shredding all past reference points. No more Post Rock, Punk-Funk and No Wave clichés. The Atlantic Ocean certainly puts clear blue water between Liars and narrow, outdated NYC scene labels.
The album marks a major shift for Liars to rank alongside Brian Wilson's wilder sonic journeys, or Radiohead's embrace of experimental abstraction and comes loaded with its own cinematic sister project: 36 short films, three for each track,all included on the standard album CD.From backstage travelogues to surreal animation and mini sci-fi epics, Liars document the process of recording, touring, then visually reinventing each track. It's an ambitious and groundbreaking expansion of the CD format, throwing down the gauntlet for other creatively ambitious bands to follow suit - the sound of a band redrawing their own creative horizons.

In 2001 a band emerged from Denton, Texas with one of the most awe-inspiring debuts in recent memory. The band was LIFT TO EXPERIENCE and their record was entitled THE TEXAS-JERUSALEM CROSSROADS… a concept album about the end of the world where Texas is the Promised Land… and a record so epic and evangelical it almost made even the staunchest non-believers think there might really be a higher power. The band’s leader was the charismatic and enigmatic JOSH PEARSON, son of a southern Preacher man who grew up listening to endless sermons of fire and brimstone. Listening to his music was akin to hearing Jeff Buckley fronting My Bloody Valentine, Godspeed! or Slint… a beautiful, intoxicating experience for sure.
Lift To Experience spent the following year on tour, stunning audiences with their incendiary live shows, looking set to cross over to a huge audience… and then… nothing. The promised second album never arrived and Josh appeared at times to be retreating from the world, a soul in crisis, moving to a hut in a remote part of Texas to wrestle with his demons. When he was occasionally sighted in Denton or Austin he seemed to many to be an outlaw, belonging to an earlier time…Now Josh is finally emerging from the wilderness… shaking off his demons… and returning to the UK (as tour support to THE DIRTY THREE) armed with a collection of astonishing new acoustic material to play to his fans, which should hopefully (all being well!)become his debut solo album next year.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]From Brooklyn, NY The Rogers Sisters draw on a wide range of sounds that includes new wave, no wave, punk, post-punk and garage rock. The ­ real life Rogers sisters Jennifer (vocals, guitar) and Laura (drums, backing vocals), plus friend and multi-instrumentalist Miyuki Furtado (vocals, bass) ­forge a completely original sound.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]They self-released their debut 7" "Let's Fly Away" and followed it up with their first full-length, Purely Evil (on Troubleman Unlimited), in early 2003. That album drew rave reviews and landed them shows + tours with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars, The Hives, Les George Leningrad, The Raveonettes and The Kills ­ as well as one-off gigs with their heroes ESG, The Fall, The Ex and Mission of Burma. Signed to Too Pure at the start of 2005 the band released the Three Fingers album earlier this year with the single "Emotion Control" single coming out in November, and a full-length album will be released in early 2006.
