About The Country and Eastern Band

This is the myspace for Paula Darwish and The Country and Eastern Band. The unique Country and Eastern sound with its diverse eastern and western influences, relies on a careful balance of the familiar with the unknown. Following in the footsteps of British Bands Asian Dub Foundation and Transglobal Underground, their music layers the more unusual sounds of eastern instruments and words over the unmistakeable beat of rock. They successfully fuse modern rearrangements of traditional Turkish and Kurdish pieces with original songs and poignant English lyrics.

Booking information for festivals, gigs and Club Couscous please contact Leyla Çelik via myspace or email: promotions[at]countryandeastern[dot]net

Room Tones	Sep 20 2009 4:23 PM Thank you! Tickets £6 adv avaliable from (more on the door): wegottickets.com Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams. "Subliminally sublime and pragmatically perfect, you would have to possess an ashtray for a heart not to feel this coursing through your soul" (DSD Music Magazine). A new EP, The Natural Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make a church performance with special guests. Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME Operations (Chris Anderson) is a Manchester based conceptual music producer and sound artist. He performs and records with an array of analog synths and effects, reel-to-reel tape and casette players, and guitars. Followers of Tim Hecker, Slowdive, Fennesz, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Stephen O'Malley, Type and 12K Records will surely nod in approval.
