About me:
A Thing About Machines is Coventry's first and best OTHER Art Festival.
This year's festival was inspired by Tangerine Dream's 1976 concert in Coventry Cathedral (we like unwieldy analogue synths and use of unexpected venues here). We want to explore the relationship Art can have with its surroundings. Transformation of a space, transportation from a place, response to surroundings, interaction and reaction.
Sound good? I thought so. It will be.

TRASH FASHION
Love 'em or hate 'em, consider them musical Marmite perhaps, either way the notorious Trash Fashion released their debut album Nights of Error through Propaganda Records on 20 October 2008. As the band's first full-length release, following two EPs that thrilled and appalled in equal measure, Trash Fashion are set to stir up the critics again with 12 tracks of bass thumping, guitar wielding, synth twiddling warehouse party essentials.
Uncompromising, unapologetic, often misunderstood, always inventive, this is Trash Fashion. Forget what you think you know about them and prepare yourself for the Nights of Error you always wanted to have.
During the past action packed year Trash Fashion have performed at 2008's international tastemaking festival SXSW in Texas, as well as at the UK's biggest music industry event - In the City - they have supported Faithless at the NIA, been on 2 30-date UK tours, a 2 week US tour and performed all over Europe (including tours in Germany, Italy, Holland and dates in Norway, Russia, Denmark and many more).

BLACK CARROT: Exclusive Album Launch
Support from DEAD COWBOY CULTURE
@ The Tin Angel Record Shop, Spon Street CV1 3AX
Doors 8pm ~ late
Black Carrot (Market Harborough) are a vibrant quintet who perform new-wave krautrock jazz madness that oozes rock with a psychotic edge. Fierce and abstract yet serving the concept of the song, their unique sound nods towards Beefheart and Pere Ubu but is shot through with flavours of New York jazz skronk, and the loosest, funkiest Krautrock.
"Black Carrot are truly inspired musicians" - Jean Hervé Peron/Faust
Black Carrot release their second studio album "Drink The Black Forest" on Tin Angel Records on 3rd November 2008. To support the release initially they will be playing UK tour support for Baby Dee throughout late November early December in addition to their own headline shows in the Midlands and London.

The Blessing has grown out of trip-hop cult band Portishead's powerful rock-driven rhythm section (drummer Clive Deamer and bass guitarist Jim Barr) with two young jazzers as its front line, in former National Youth Jazz Orchestra trumpeter Pete Judge and tenor saxophonist Jake McMurchie.
Like the popular and sometime Mercury-nominated Acoustic Ladyland, once described as sounding like The Damned with a saxophone, The Blessing couples hard-hitting, high-volume rock with wailing jazz-horn choruses. The group's flat-out drive, fiery virtuosity and strong, anthemic tunes certainly grabbed the audience, including the scattering of older jazz devotees lurking in the shadows like me. And those qualities, plus the association with Portishead's reputation, should bring The Blessing a lot of admirers, some of whom might well go on to discover a wider world of jazz and improvised music.
