Report: August 2009 In the late 80's and mid 90's Seattle USA produced a music scene which took the world by storm. Years later music has gone full circle and NOW a new thriving music scene in the UNITED KINGDOM is Erupting.
I'm Nick J.Townsend of WEAK13, also an underground music journalist, columnist and radio show presenter. For the last 6 months bands and crowds are flocking to a place called Stourbridge in England. Venues there are opening doors to bands. Music engineers, promoters, small labels, Bands and music fans are going to Stourbridge. One of the next big nights there has LAST UNDER THE SUN, THE ROCKET DOLLS, MASTER WARBEAST & WPAPPED IN PLASTIC all playing at BASE STUDIOS on FRIDAY AUGUST 28TH. The venue can be found on www.basestudios1.co.uk I'll be there offering radioplay to bands that need it.
The radio show can be heard here http://www.basementsound.co.uk/radio/BSRadio.php I plug bands from Brazil, Portugal, Sweden, USA, Australia, UK. Get on the show and contact producer 'Murph' on team@basementsound.co.uk
I grew up with some of the best music in the world and 15 years later only now am I starting to hear original bands make good music again. The venues are now becoming full again. This may never happen again for another 15 years. Now is the time. People will decide what music will be popular in the S'bridge scene. Seattle had grunge. Which genre will get big first?
On Monday 27th July 2009, Cafe Concrete will feature The Diamond Family Archive, Robodub and InterVis 2.0: The Screen.
THE DIAMOND FAMILY ARCHIVE “Strange and tender songs built around layered loops of live guitar, lap steel and electronica. Leftfield, oddball and gorgeous, a beautiful and fragile noise and sublime lo-fi melancholia”- Stolen Recordings
ROBODUB “Low frequency isolation” Robodub brings aquatic sub-bass back from his recent Sync or Swim performance at Prince Regent Pool for the Brighton Fringe Festival.
INTERVIS 2.0: THE SCREEN A collaboration between sound artist, DJ Contort, media artist, siusoon (Winnie Soon) and performance artist, Eva Pang, The Screen is a live interactive audio-visual performance which employs body movement, everyday objects and video projection as a narrative to interact with audio-visual tools and music.
Café Concrete is on a mission to raise funds for future projects and is seeking donations for an auction in the autumn. Please see the attached for more information.
NEXT TIME AT CAFE CONCRETE Please note that there will be no Café Concrete event this August. The next will be on Monday 28th September 2009, and will include performances by Jack Marchment and Dynablade.
