Solid Earth

Solid Earth and what? the folk present: beats, roots and leaves, an eight hour charity session of musical goodness at Manchester’s best pub in nearly the countryside: Jackson’s Boat in Sale Water Park. All proceeds to MSF in Darfur.

RaGD @ RNCM 4 Futuresonic 08

May 2, 7pm-11pm, limited capacity - tickets £6/£4 - www. rncm. ac. uk ; 0161 907 5555

caro snatch live
Peterloo Massacre live
Diana Simpson from Splice Girls live
DJ Paizan

plus films by Kate Jessop and Kerry Baldry

This event is a double release party for two of Manchester's possibly rarest electronic outfits caro snatch and Peterloo Massacre on Leeds based emerging label Anorakism

Peterloo Massacre - Formed in late 2006, Peterloo Massacre (Paul Green, Colin Fry, Howard Jones and Kin) blend 80's electronica with 90's indie, trip-hop and contemporary folk. In result they are guided by the highly unique vocal lines of Kin through surreal synth-based soundscapes. They have been compared to Massive Attack, Thom Yorke and Portishead and have shrugged off the indie electro-pop zeitgeist in favour of something more cerebral and are all the more seducitve in consequence. Their self-titled e.p showcases the band's deft ability to span multiple genres and make it look effortless. The e.p includes a remix by the acclaimed beatmaker and arranger Robert Lippok. If new sounds are craved then Peterloo Massacre are making them loudly.

WE WANT YOUR MIXTAPES! and we want them now....
For a mini mixtape/cd fest at Temporary Autonomous Arts, a squatted art exhibition in Manchester next week, from 24-28 October. See www.myspace.com/taamanchester for details....
Part of the lineup of events is DIY day on Thursday 25th, and part of that is our mini mixtape festival.

SO to get involved, all you have to do is:
1. Create a mixtape/CD! Make as many copies as you can, the more you give the more you recieve....

2. Message us to find out where to drop off your tapes before the event, or come to the space (Venue to be announced nearer the time www.myspace.om/taamanchester for updates...) any time on Thursday 25th Oct armed with your tapes/cds.

3. Put them on the mixtape exchange stall, browse through the other tapes and CDs,take whatever tickles your fancy. Check out the rest of the exhibition, the other workshops, and the jam night that night.

4. Go away with a load of ace new tapes and CDs lovingly compiled by a fellow mixtape enthusiast and discover new music for FREE! Come back to the space over the next few days and enjoy all the other amazing events that are going on.

Thats it! Simple but beautiful, eh? So get making those tapes and CDs and get in touch for info on where to bring them. Let your creativity run wild! The music can be themed, a collection of random favourites, music for a particular mood or time, and expose of a favourite genre, WHATEVER. Decorate the covers, make them pretty, make track listings, write little notes inside, or go minimalist and just bring a mystery tape without a case...

Its a good idea to stick an email address (or web address, or myspace profile address, or if you're a bit desperate your phone number and what night you're free for a drink...) in there somewhere so whoever takes your stuff can let you know how amazing it was. GET CRACKING!

Love and rewind and play and pause,
Now Hear This!
