This three piece instrumental, instrument swapping band was formed in Spring 2005. Drummer, Neil Turpin, also mans the kit for Bilge Pump and Polaris and has done a stint in HiM alongside Doug Scharin. Richard Morris plays in Manchester band, I Had An Inkling as well as working with bassist, Stuart Bannister, to form the respectable live sound engineering team, voted No.1 at Leeds Music Awards 2005.
Richard’s wailing Turkish keyboards provide the tunes that you will be humming days later. The sound is filled out by Stuart’s warm, belly rubbing bass, while Neil’s musical drums remain deep in the pocket and expertly guide the songs safely home.
The music of Quack Quack isn’t easy to categorize, but take a shared spirit of improvisation and a healthy disregard for well trodden musical paths and you’re moving in the right direction. Like the great rhythm sections of James Brown, Africa 70, CAN and Led Zeppelin, Quack Quack operate right next to your heartbeat and your footsteps. They understand the importance of rhythm and use it to get the good chemicals flowing. This is music for dancing and smiling.
Quack Quack have played a superabundance of gigs, sharing the stage with many great bands including, Hella, E.A.R, Pit er Pat, Scout Niblet and Lords. All three, individually, continue to contribute to the Damo Suzuki Network. Their first CD was played by Radio 1 DJ, Huw Stephens, and the band performed a live radio session for Resonance FM.
"Quack Quack {Leeds, UK} feature Neil Turpin from Polaris, Bilgepump and lots more amazing bands, on drums. The band also feature more drums, keyboards, bass and other random noise making devices with a bit of instruments switching. They have been described elsewhere as "rampant post-rock electronics clocking in somewhere between Stereolab and Trans Am". The sound is developing fast so it should be pretty interesting by the time they get to Ireland!!!"

Thread Pulls are a band from Dublin, Ireland.
They are Gavin Duffy, Ed Kelly and Peter Maybury.
Biography:
With their slow, angular spiked guitar trudge, Dublin three piece Thread Pulls is a formidable vehicle shunted forth by means of insistent rhythms, howling guitars and oscillating electronics.
Having played shows with Tarwater, Giddy Motors and Liars they most recently were invited to play at All Tomorrow's Parties in the UK which was curated by Vincent Gallo and featured performances from Yoko Ono, Afri Rampo, Lydia Lunch, Suicide, PJ Harvey, Gang Gang Dance and many more.
Thread Pulls mini-album "Summer Songs" has been described as "built from feedback, dissonant chops and reedy vocals...traversing a tar pit, laborious foot lift by laborious foot lift, guitar dripping black oily tendrils and bitumen clots, like a heathen god risen from a forbidden land"..."a pulse of snarling guitars and noises, melodic yet lashed with feedback and tension."
Reviews
Wire Wool blog had this to say about Thread Pulls debut EP Summer Songs
"...breathtaking - equal parts austere minimalism and Shellac-esque brutality. The airless loops, dissonance and fleeting melodies... gorgeous..."
Thread Pulls performance at All Tomorrows Parties UK April 2005 curated by Vincent Gallo.
"...and then there's a great vacation as everyone crams into the downstairs room to catch Thread Pulls...mean and satisfyingly metallic guitar chords are laid deftly over a hovering voice..."

Debut EP Summer Songs reviewed in February 2005 edition of THE WIRE.
"...high guitar chimes ushering in the buzzing tectonic bass and drum part led by pinpoint cymbals..."

STORY OF HAIR
Website:
http://www.myspace.com/storyofhair
Never before have 5 individual strands of hair been combed together and genetically modified to form a band. But that my dear fans is what happened. With a spray of noise, a comb over of feedback and a sat for half an hour under hot hot hair setters.
Sinead a painter unparalleled by the greats before her. A cold blooded hunter of gaffs. A howler. A screamer. A singer. Colin a man of mystery. A bassist. The going out and getting locked type. A user of slides. Ger a man of a million odd tales. A drummer. A user of the words rib of hair. For they are words. Amanda a fashion icon. An experimental guitarist of the people from the gods. A strange individual type. Caroline a quitter of jobs. A guitartist of the 23rd century via 450 BC. A shouter. A drinker but never a singer.
Sounds Like: Your hopes and dreams multiplied by your worst nightmare to the nth degree.
