About AnteAter

I made all this music on my mum's typewriter. It's true. Oh, and I used a BETAmax player too. COOL.

Forest of Sound	May 30 2008 3:59 AM Koen Holtkamp is no stranger to producing beautiful music. Expect layers of warm organic noise and found sound combine to make pieces that are both gorgeously minimalistic and endlessly deep. He's making the trip over from New York to celebrate the launch of his new album on Type records, and you'd be a fool to miss him! Gorgeously organic music that washes over you and through you - the best of all ambient music understands the importance of holding back, of understatement, of beauty - Pausal achieve this, and more. Stunning stuff for a night of pure sonic bliss. Forest of Sound's favourite one man laptop genius, randomNumber, comes back to regale us with his excellent and deeply inventive brand of electronica. There's a reason that he's so energetic in his performance - his music is brilliant. Simple. As. A Forest of Sound presentation. It’ll be £5 on the door, and doors are at 8pm.

Forest of Sound	Apr 28 2008 7:44 AM Easily one of the most important bands of our times (and we don't say that lightly), Stars of the Lid are the highpoint of the ambient genre. Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them again in Leeds. This gig will be very very different, and very very special. Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument. A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals. " The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff. A Forest of Sound presentation. Tickets are £10 and are available from We Got Tickets and Jumbo Records. It’ll be £12 on the doors, and doors are at 8pm. Join the Last FM fun here.
Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire	Apr 23 2008 8:20 AM PFTPR001 1. A Fire Born In Dallas 2. Wolverine Figurine 3. A Fire Born In Dallas (Razmataz Lorry Excitement remix) Released Monday 19th May 2008 on limited edition mini 3" CD. Available via digital download now: iTunes Amazon MP3 Either follow the links above or search "Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire" on iTunes. "Produced by ¡Forward, Russia!'s Tom Woodhead, debut single A Fire Born In Dallas (released on the Pay For The Piano imprint) finds post-hardcore and prog influences welded together to create a sound that is both vulnerable and self-assured. Admittedly, the usual influences of Fugazi and At The Drive-In are worn pretty obviously, but the band are far more than mere copyists. Indeed, at their single launch they offered an intense and impassioned performance, with snare cracks and upstrokes reverberating around the venue. Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, it would seem, have more than enough firepower in their sonic arsenal to kick some of the music world's feted young pretenders into touch. " The Metro

Strangers in Polaroids	Mar 23 2008 5:11 AM As long as it's not The Automatic! I don't think even you + Paul YCNI:M could save them... actually, maybe. Or you could hide in This Et Al's tour van, we're supporting them April 23rd. Some other time anyway!x
Strangers in Polaroids	Mar 21 2008 12:27 PM Here's the review: http://www. narcmedia. com/dissection-live/this-et-al-anteater-moleck-head-of-steam-newcastle-30-11-07/ Yeh Joel said you were after bands, we shall definitely muse over that one! Got a couple of new ones on their way. We're playing Trash on April 5th if you're free, sure we could blag you in if you fancied it. Matt M & the Polaroids x
Strangers in Polaroids	Mar 20 2008 10:08 AM Hi Tom, cheers for the add. Those ESTLCF recordings are a bit ace. As is this stuff, I did a review of your newcastle gig for NARC Magazine if you'd like me to send it over? Matt M in Polaroids
Forest of Sound	Mar 18 2008 6:32 AM Golden Diskó Ship combines a mass of instruments and found objects (guitars, viola, glockenspiel, sticky tape, compact disc cases, toys…) together with perfectly crafted laptop electronica to form a world of beautiful, original and individual music - “…dreamy, experimental folk electronica that sounds like walking on the beach with the sun in your eyes." The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff. Hands and Fingers makes minimally gorgeous cerebral music. He mixes samples, acoustic guitars, glockenspiel and ambient atmospheres with drum breaks that have been described as "Tortoise having a fight with Four Tet in the dark, with John Bonham trying to split them up". It's ace. Very ace. A Forest of Sound presentation. It’s £4 on the door, doors are 8pm. Join the Last FM fun here.

Forest of Sound	Feb 14 2008 8:49 AM Alas, the first Forest of Sound of 2008 has been disrupted. Capulet have had to pull out as one of their number has been asked to support The Smashing Pumpkins in his other role in Oceansize… but fear not, the super talented James Yates has been added to the bill. Dirge are a find that got the Forest of Sound camp very, very excited. Based around a minimalist core Dirge take the raw emotion and sweeping bleak sounds from the post-rock canon and fuse them with story telling and lyricism of lo-fi indie and folk and slowcore beauty. Her Name Is Calla are astoundingly good. Watching these guys play is like watching a force of nature threatening to destroy everything around you - the power, beauty and effect of their music has to be seen live to be appreciated. CHARLIESHERO are a band who read from the post rock canon and spit it back out with blistering energy and conviction. This kind of music lives and dies in the playing - the dynamics, the passion, the sheer force of it all... Luckily, they've got all that down just right. James Yates’ solo show is something to behold - organic electronics, perfect drums, spot on percussion and mad-as-a-hatter inventiveness. A Forest of Sound presentation. Tickets are £5 on the door, doors are 7.30pm. Join the Last FM fun here.

Opus	Jun 4 2007 11:12 PM Wednesday 6th of June @ Upstairs of DQ Opus vs. Word Life Present a night a mixed, varied and genuine entertainment for just £4. Kicking off the night In true Opus style we have hooked up with Word Life, Sutco and Shrimps who will showcase some of the most interesting up and coming talent on the Sheffield live literature and comedy scene. Proceeds are going towards taking original SutCo play 'Dissexions' to The Edinburgh Festival this summer. To Headline we have the honor of welcoming The PeteBox for the first time in Sheffield. Voted Radio 1's Champion Beatboxer. This man uses a loop peddle and his voice to create a Beatbox show like no other taking you through the genres of Jazz, Hip Hop and Drum & Bass. To be fully convinced type 'Petebox' into YouTube, sit back and be amazed. (myspace.com/thepetebox) 2nd on the bill we have a band called Worriedaboutsatan. Think Explosions in the Sky, The Cocteau Twins and an ambient 65Days. Bring your dancing shoes! (myspace.com/worriedaboutsatan) To end the night Opus DJ's such as DJ4D and Mr Mercer will bring you a blend of many artists featured on the impressive Warp and Planet Mu roster, ending with and eclectic mix of New Jungle and liquid D&B to dance away the wee hours. This is night is like no other in Sheffield so come down and support these artists that would not normally be found on the same bill. We hope nights like this will expose people to art forms and music that they may not normally come into contact with in an attempt to show the similarities in different genres and styles. Doors 9PM £4 Entry
