HONEY RIDE ME A GOAT

UPSILON ACRUX is an instrumental quintet (dual
guitars, keyboards, bass and drums). Their music is generally very intense,
loud, hard-hitting and unbelievably virtuosic. Upsilon Acrux's music is
demanding on many levels, but mostly it demands that you listen to it a number
of times before forming an opinion, because only after you've gotten familiar
with it can you get past the sheer complexity and onslaught of it all and hear
the amazing musicality of what they are doing. This combination of blazingly
fast, interwoven musical lines delivered at blinding speed mixed with their
unique melodic sense makes Upsilon's music instantly recognisable.

GUAPO is a British trio that plays an
intense music that straddles the boundaries of progressive, noise, minimalism
and avant-rock. Their sound has been compared to such artists as Magma,
Boredoms, King Crimson, Univers Zero, This Heat, Ruins, Sun Ra and Terry Riley.
As Sound Projector put it, "Guapo come on like all the hellhounds of
Magma, Eskaton and Ruins were after them...on a par with Magma’s Kohntarkosz or
Univers Zero’s Ceux Du Dehors". The group started their life as a heavy
bass/drums duo playing post-hardcore, noisy rock, but in the two decades since,
they have expanded their instrumentation and their stylistic references to
become one of Europe's most highly respected 'muscular and modern'
experimental/progressive rock bands.

HONEY RIDE ME A GOAT come from Kent and seem obsessed with
Indian Cuisine and hyper-complex rollercoaster jazz punk. Guitar, bass and
drums freak out into an confounding and extremely tight onslaught which bursts
with freedom, chaos, fun and nonsense all at the same time. HRMAG have a number
of vinyl and CD releases available now on their band camp below.

CALVIN
JOHNSON's work in
underground culture started as a teenage fan volunteering at the local
community radio station, KAOS-FM. He moved on to writing for fanzines,
organizing music and film events, playing music in various ill-fated bands.
Calvin established K Records, a locally oriented media outlet, in 1982. In 1993
Calvin founded Dub Narcotic Studio in which he has documented the work of
Mirah, the Blow, Versus, Built to Spill, Fitz of Depression, Make-Up and Little
Wings. It has also been the incubator of many Calvin experiments in
collaboration and self-expression, such as Beat Happening, Halo Benders
and Dub Narcotic Sound System. The decade of the double zeroes saw Calvin
Johnson set into the world, acoustic guitar in hand, as a solo artist of
musical platitudes. Now that the one-zeroes have hit, Calvin is working on his
new project Selector Dub Narcotic. Selector Dub Narcotic is known to mix the
genres dancehall, soul, punk, garage, R&B, rock steady, bubblegum and
rockabilly with assorted curiosities of the current underground music scene.
THE
CATENARY WIRES were
formed in 2014 when Amelia and Rob (ex-Talulah Gosh, Heavenly, Marine Research,
Tender Trap) moved out of London. Unlike some of their earlier incarnations,
THE CATENARY WIRES are minimalist, melancholy, and a little woozy. Originally
forming the band just for themselves at home, Rob and Amelia started playing
songs on their daughter's 3/4 size acoustic guitar. They are still refusing to
give it back. The band agreed to play a first gig in public at the Arnolfini in
Bristol, on 3 May 2014, in support of a new film about Sarah Records. Since
then, they have played several shows around the UK, and will soon be performing
in Tokyo, Madrid and New York. The Catenary Wires function as a simple
two-piece live, but have created a lusher sound on their first album, Red Red
Skies, which was released by Elefant Records last year.
SIDNEY began in friendship. George Haberis
and Henry Withers have known each other for some time, even
before playing in Lovvers and Prize Pets, and made music
together as Sharm El Shakes; when the bass player moved to a rent controlled
apartment in Manhattan they couldn't let their snappy union
of incisively cracking guitar parts and observations about
cities and the melancholy of romance be lost forever so they
started Sidney with Prize Pets drummer Joe Coope & Robert
"Sluggo" Hughes on Bass.
Thanks for your time, see you soon!
