SPECTRUM

SPECTRUM

We know. We know. We said we wouldn't put on anymore gigs and we meant it. Then we relented and did the Xmas Covers Party, how could we resist?

And then our long time bud Jason Holt went and joined Spectrum.
Now, Team DY are very pro-Kember, as is the term. We've been consistently blown away by Pete (aka Sonic Boom)'s output over the years and none more so than the recent re-invigoration of Spectrum. The full live band version of the group right now, in 2009 is ON FIRE as anyone who saw them at either the Social or Primavera Sound this year can attest.
So when we saw Spectrum had been added to December's ATP Festival at the request of curators My Bloody Valentine we enquired about setting up a warm-up show for them in Nottingham. Something simple, in a small venue where their ability to blow you away can be increased to it's maximum potency. They said yes. In fact, they said they'd love to. Lucky you...
Even luckier still, we're keeping it stupid cheap on the door (price TBC) with no advance tickets so even if you are going to ATP the next morning you've stil got no excuse to miss this evening of total sonic overload. It's going to be amazing.
In addition to Spectrum, you also get the murky, stained glass riffery of our own KOGUMAZA who are folks from Wolves Of Greece, Not In This Town, Lords, Felix, Bob Tilton and more doing fuzzed out Velvetisms pitched somewhere between Lungfish and those cool instrumentals that made the first few Blonde Redhead records so good.

There'll be more to be added too, maybe some DJs as well. Will keep you posted...

It's going to be SIX QUID ON THE DOOR, NO TICKETS. Doors at 8.30 or so, please be on time as it's a small venue.
