JAMES CHANCE & LES CONTORTIONS (ZE RECORDS, NYC)
"The free form playing of Ornette Coleman with the solid funk rhythm of James Brown as though filtered through a punk rock lens."
A key figure of the 70s New York no wave set, James Chance is an incendiary musical pioneer. His radical punk funk, free jazz work-outs would go on to inspire future generations of art rockers, from Sonic Youth and John Spenser to The Rapture whose 'House of Jealous Lovers' track owes more than a passing debt to James Chance's 'Contort Yourself'.
This is James Chance's debut appearance in Ireland. It is not to be missed!
Quote:
"Always light years ahead of his time, back in the '70s Chance invented the '80s by melding punk and funk and dousing it with burst of free-jazz saxophone, Sun Ra-inspired head-fuck organ noise and organic disco beats." DROWNED IN SPACE

CAP PAS CAP (SKINNY WOLVES, RALLY KLEE RECORDS)
CAP PAS CAP are a heady mix of disorder. Jagged guitar and irregular vocals vie with pulsating motorik rhythms to create a lean and dispassionate funk sound. Their first 12” ‘Not Not Is Fine’ sold out in a matter of weeks and they have shared stages with Les Georges Leningrad, Numbers, Crystal Castles, The Go Team and Gossip amongst others.
You will dance, drink whiskey til you get drunk and CAP PAS CAP will soundtrack your dreams!
Quote:
"Hints of bands like BUSH TETRAS, PYLON, early SONIC YOUTH and many more come to mind - but the best thing is that CAP PAS CAP turn all this into a sound of their own! Not only the best thing out of Ireland since many many years, but maybe as well one of the best records of this and last year!" - X-MIST, Germany

THE VIOLETS (ANGULAR RECORDS)
The Violets are four punk fantasists from London who set out to create a sinister mood with elemental and triumphant pop music. Drawing inspiration from a range of disparate influences such as Neue Deutsche Welle, David Lynch and French Coldwave, The Violets have created a monochrome corner of their own.
The Violets play with stripped-down ferocity, they're earthshakingly powerful and equally spatial by turns. Their debut album 'The Lost Pages' shifts comfortably from raucous garage punk (Forget Me Not) to Coldwave disco (Co-Plax, Troubles Of Keneat), via moments of sheer pop (Shade To Be, Parting Glances) tender reflection (Nature Of Obsession) and Hunky Dory-esque classic songwriting (Half Light).
By turns they can be disturbing violent art-punk or soothing and melodically poised, yet all the while retaining a sense of otherworldliness.

STAGGER LEE
Stagger Lee began 2007 with a debaucherous NYE gig and spent the early part of the year preparing for the release of their debut single 'Bad Shoes' which came out on their own Label Split Lip Records on Friday 13th April. The single comes with some tasty fetish artwork and includes the video for 'Bad Shoes' shot by the notorious Love Action. Their sound embodies the spirit of Robert Johnson's Devil-at-the-crossroads and Mavis Staples sultry gospel cry combined with the energy and attitude of The Stooges, The Cramps and Siouxsie Sioux.
Highlights to date have included appearances with The Kills, Jon Spencer Blues Xplosion, The Duke Spirit, Sleater Kinny, The Long Blondes, The Drones, The Priscillas, Little Barrie and Pink Grease in the notorious White Trash club in Berlin. Stagger Lee were also invited to play at the Irish launch night of the European MySpace Festival and the Fringe Festival's beautiful Speigeltent in 2006.
