echolocation: General Info

Member Since	3/10/2006
Band Website	http://www.echolocationtheband.co.uk
Band Members
Influences	swiss guards, bill drummond, pete waterman, engelbert
Sounds Like	Avant Progressive Pop Punk Band from Leicester Uk. Some say they sound like the The Fall. They say they sound nothing like The Fall, but understand lazy journalism. Former members of Bocca, Chomsky, Bi-Curious and Scud-u-like joined together rather like the melted plastic of the Chapman brothers artwork after the fire. Not likely to be a huge commercial success Echolocation skirt round the edges of what is really acceptable in a pop band. An aquired taste I don't think you'll like it some how judging by your CD collection "Billy Pilgrim sounds AWESOME! A Stone Roses-esque guitar riff at the beginning, with a bit of a Jam / The children organ twist." "Mercury Rev Sang by the Fall" Six By Seven "Other good acts that featured (EQ Festival at the Musician) and worth a mention: Echolocation.... beat poetry meets Pil, Can, post-rock, and unique invention of their own)." Alan Freeman Alto Stratus
Record Label	haunted by fame
Type of Label	Indie

About echolocation

" ... the amazing Echolocation - a spoken word and lightshow extravaganza that recalled Mike Skinner fallen through a timewarp and landing in the UFO Club forearmed with the knowledge of 21st century club graphics and a desire to get Andy Warhol in to help...genuinely innovative"
Music OMH

”Echolocation are one of those bands that have been about for a while and go about making their music quietly and although have a fine reputation arent part of the 'in-crowd'.
These are less about the look (although they have their own shabby style that Keroauc himself would be proud of) and more about the substance. They reminded us of The Fall in their attitude.
Great projected visuals, lovely horn playing and musical arrangements. They might not be the in crowd but we rather like these..”
The Tube Club

”Mature, multitextured, beautifully composed”
Vanity Press

“Wake Up Call is growly and frenetic
….and set-closer A Dog With Two Heads is
just great modern art rock”
alt.Leicester

”Echolocation-Wake Up Call... It's the direction the Dandy Warhols should've taken.”
BBC Radio 6music

Mobile Wash Unit	Jan 8 2009 7:37 PM Thanks for the kind comment. Sorry for the delay, but I've been putting the final touches on the debut record. It's up now on itunes and amazon (amiestreet, rhapsody, etc.) There are 2 sides: Sink and Fall. "Sink" is more pop and electronic; "Fall" is more punk and country. We appreciate all your support. Have a happy MWU year
