SUPREME DICKS are an experimental rock group formed in 1984 in Amherst, Massachussetts by Jon Shere, Steve Shavel and Danny Oxenberg. Their glorious music combines dissonant lo-fi noise, avant-garde, and psychedelic sounds to warped song structures. Rising out of the same scene that produced Dinosaur Jr, Supreme Dicks were vital contributors to the lo-fi and avant garde genres. The band’s constantly revolving line-up (Lou Barlow was a Dick now and again) centered around Daniel Oxenberg, Jon Shere, Steve Shavel, Mark Hanson, and Jim Spring, whose psychedelic-yet-twangy brand of rock’n'roll came out of the band’s roots at Hampshire College in the Reagan era. The Dicks released a clutch of incredible records - three albums, a single, a split single and a 12" EP - over a four-year period before not-so-much disbanding as dispersing at the end of 1996. This slow, brooding, hugely affecting body of warped psychedelic work was released as a box set by Jagjaguwar in 2011 entitled 'Breathing And Not Breathing'. In 2012, Supreme Dicks came back together to play a limited number of shows in the US, making this ever-so-rare European tour their first major jaunt in almost 17 years. In the live setting, the band upholds a tradition of inviting others to play with them onstage - musicians who have done so include Beck, Dan Kapelovitz and Ariel Pink. Their legendary Amherst jams were known to continue for anywhere up to 15 hours at a time (although, on this tour, we'll be looking at more traditional set lengths). This is going to be the unforgettable!

PLATINUM VISION is Matt Mottel from Talibam!'s new sophisticat-jazz out project. Keyboards, wailing guitar, bass and brass all spinning out a landscape for Matt's (often absurdist) slouchy blues vocal to walk out, leading you serenly through equal parts calm and chaos. All expectors of the unexpected will be primed.

CHALAQUE aka Nick Mitchell of Manchester's Golden Lab records, will be providing some exceptionally wonky guitar noise. At first, you might think you’ve got Nick pegged as a psych guitarist with stock moves, but listen for a few minutes and you’ll suddenly wonder where the hell you are. One guitar, two amps, feedback stacked into walls and high-pitched soloing.

DIRTY BEACHES
FEMMINIELLI
PLANTAGENET 3

DIRTY BEACHES is the sound of waves against a picturesque and putrid shore, the silent rumble of a Chevy as it speeds by in slow motion. Sparse but condensed, relentlessly edging forward: this is music for locomotive travel, for racing your weary motorcycle through neon archways and into tunnels at dusk. The man behind Dirty Beaches is Alex Zhang Hungtai; solo performer, sound-smith, and trans-Pacific nomad. Born in Taiwan, Hungtai has made Toronto, Honolulu, Montreal, and Vancouver his homes. Like Bo Didley or minimalist synth provocateurs Suicide, Dirty Beaches’ compositions are not so much stripped down as refined to their essence. Drum loops entrance, Hungtai’s croon enchants, and the yearning melodies draped overtop belie as much a sense of haunting mystery as they do romanticism and wry humour.

FEMMINIELLI is Montréal producer Bernardino Femminielli, an artist whose already left a significant mark on the Canadian music scene before releasing his third album 'Double Invitation', having toured as a live member of Dirty Beaches and producing some tracks for Montreal pop-star-in-waiting Jef Barbara. But on 'Double Invititation', Femminielli has made it clear that he is possibly the best current Italo songwriter/producer in the world. Drawing equally from the camps of Moroder and Gainsbourg, his music is divided between creepy synthpop singles like "Chauffeur" and "A Que Quieres Jugar" and epic long-form dark disco. Carefully constructed down to the last detail, it sounds so authentic it's difficult to believe it isn't from the late 1970s. 'Double Invitation' is out on Desire Records.

PLANTAGENET 3 like to think of their music as a misguided combination of spaghetti Western soundtracks, 1960s surf/spy-theme guitars and minimalist rock, with the end result being a bit like Young Marble Giants covering Ennio Morricone. They've released one previous single and an album, been featured by the likes of Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music, as well as blogs like This is Fake DIY and the 405, and Rough Trade who once described them as invoking "the ghost of Joe Meek and the most searching of 90s post rockisms to form something shimmering, mysterious and beguiling".
