Sounds Like"..flavoursome guitaring – gruff blues licks that hit some nerve in your brain that can't be over-ridden by rational thought."
Sean Dagan Wood, Guestlist Music.

."..made up of thickly condensed riffs and chord hugging vocal lines. The guitar break is very much in keeping with this foggy fuzz of modern Seattle blues and very well done it is too."

   About AYATANA
I created my layout at KillerKiwi.net
Ayatana are a three piece band from Manchester playing bluesy hard rock with groove. The band was formed by Mike Brotherton and Matt Fitzpatrick late in 2006. Eddie Wastnidge joined the band over the summer months completing the line up after the departure of Dan Leigh earlier this year. Their four track demo EP, recorded in '07, led to a string of successful gigs at venues such as Dry Bar, Night & Day, The Ruby Lounge, as well as a live appearance on the Artradio project at The Cornerhouse and some other local radio airplay. Ayatana’s live performances in particular have been well received; this is documented in a review from Guest List Music of the band at ‘In the City’, October 20th ‘07 at the Ruby Lounge.

Recently, Ayatana have been writing and rehearsing new material for upcoming gigs and plan to enter the studio in the coming months.

Hey, just a cheeky plug for our new night.

The first of our new nights FUCKED UP THURSDAY is occuring at Dry Bar TONIGHT- the 10th July. If you interested in going to nights we're all the bands are important to the vibe of the evening, there's no shitty fillers, prices are reasonable and the music is imaginitive then you are in luck. WE ARE OFFERING HALF PRICE ENTRY TO ANY BANDS WHO HAVE A GIG ALREADY LINED UP WITH US.

Our 4 bands this week are-

ADVANCES IN MATHEMATICS

Flowing tuneful instrumental spacepop and a fine mixture of old school shoegaze and post-rock.

ARFICEDEN

Sexy 3 piece , awesome drumming, big dirty dub bass lines and plenty of noise coming from 1 guitar. Giving jazz a good name!!

IYE

Stoke 7 piece guitar orchestra making big swoooshing soundscapes and still managing to find room for some 3 piece harmonies. Holy shit balls!

A MIDDLE SEX

I'll be buggered if I can describe it- basically a lot of noises- electronics and other stuff going through distorted amplification. Improvisation and some rather sweet rhythmic stuff occuring.

You can check out all these bands in my top friends, doors are at 8pm, entry is £4 or £3 if you come down before the bands have started
We're going to whip out some jossticks for the night and play some quality tunes by Mogwai, Battles, Melt Banana, 65 Days of Static, Vessels, Clinic, Boards of Canada, Kraftwerk, Vengaboys and much more.

Please come and get involved!

Cheers
Phil

I offer my useless skills as a drummer. However my skills are poor as I have never played but my air-drumming is superb! I do recommend to not pick me.

2 great gigs at Dry Bar this week if you fancy a quality night out.

Thursday 10th Jan-THE FOUNDATION. Doors 8pm, entry £4/£3 with NUS

THE CHRISTOPHERS
THE BLIMP
BILLY RUFFIAN
JULIUS MARTOV AND THE SEXY MISTAKES

If you love The Fall, Talking Heads, XTC, The Cardiacs and drum machines this one not to be missed.

Saturday 10th January-THE BIG SATURDAY BASH. Doors 8pm, entry £5

Upstairs
THE CONSOLATIONS
KING PEST
THE ENDING OF
THE GREEN HALF

Downstairs
VESSELS
LAYMAR
THE SANDELLS
STOP THE BLACKOUT

2 contrasting rooms of glorious music featuring 8 bands I reckon are going to do really well for themselves this year. Upstairs is headlined by The Consolations who could well do a Twisted Wheel this year. Downstairs our post-rock extravaganza is headlined by the mighty Vessels who have just got back from recording in America and are so good it should be illegal.

All nights have an array of drink offers if you bring NUS/Student cards. Happy days. Come along and get involved!

Cheers
