   About Go Lebanon
Hello Chicago we're home! After months of inactivity and frustration we've got our acts together and are making better music than we used to. And we look pretty cool now as well. style wise Larry's been forced to wear a hair piece and Andy (after some intense steroid abuse) has become the all American muscle man he always was in his own mirror. But enough about that, we all know that it's all about the shoes.


Anyway here's what Wire magazine had to say about us:
In seven days of bliss and anguish, Go Lebanon crafted a unique sound from an old hickory tree, which was struck by lightning in the vast yonders of founding member Isaac Walsh's Oklahoma ranch. This elegant creation was destroyed by a tornado in the summer of 2003 and the band decided to relocate to the milder climates of Manchester in order to recreate their masterwork. After one 86 bus ride to far Isaac lost his mind and left the band in the capable hands of Shirley Lafayette (that silver Addonis of the green screen). When this didn't work out seven scallywags from the nearby Moston raided the studio tied up Shirley and stole the band. And this is how Go Lebanon as we now know it came to be. Their first release, Phaedrus, was a revelation for us, a true departure from what we have come to expect from music. It didn't sound like Suicide OR Wolf Eyes. We hate it and so should you.

Sat 28th June, Fuel, Withington, 8pm, £4

EYES come from Chicago and make glorious music for dancing that straddles the vibes of Ariel Pink and HEALTH. The type of band people might lie about having seen first time round once they make the cover of Plan B. You know, if they felt so inclined.

Skitanja, in spite of what the poster says, are actually from Bournemouth. They make scrappy, electronic bleep party pop music with guitar.

Shiu-Yeung Hui is the Chinese member of Japanese group Maher Shalal Hash Baz. He drinks quite a lot of neat vodka then takes to the stage to perform his wonderful, fractured, miniature songs using guitar and keyboard. An exercise in patience, an audience with Shiu pays off massively.

Elapse O are a death disco unit from Oxford. Imagine swimming the butterfly through a load of broken Swans LPs. That's what they sound like. Dig.

LA HAINE





Jun 17 2008 3:43 PM

Monday 23rd June - Retro Bar:

Brutus: Minus the Bear meets Polar Bear Club post-hardcore. ex-Pendleton et al.

Deadbeat Cavalier: Oxford's finest Folk Punk Heroes.

Trojan Horse: Your Mum wants them, your dad wants to be in them. Prog-Rock.

La Haine: Brooding shoegaze, rock, dub mash-up. Loud!

Horses for courses, like. I just hope this goes to prove that the aesthetic for the other stuff is intentionally "nauseating." I'm actually very talented.

UBiKnight presents:

Friday 30th Nov @ Cafe Saki, Rusholme

£5 (£3 after midnight)

9pm – 4am

A selection of the strangest crop of manc. talent gigging at the moment. Prepare to have your frontal lobes sliced and diced and generally mauled over.

Stray Dog Cafe

Angular riffs and pounding rhythms from the creators of minmal dirt rock. They've played with Youth Movies, Part Chimp, Oxes and Blood Red Shoes. Sci-Fi inspired yelps and working class cynicism in an unadulterated slice of this exciting bands work to date. Last gig with current SDC founder GT the Warlock before he disapears for his paternity leave.

www.myspace.com/straydogcafe

Benway Miasma

Upcoming jazz tinkles from the Manchester melodramatists. Nick Cave's unborn twin sister playing Flaming Lips songs at a Thelonius Monk-tribute/karaoke night in the local valium emporium feeling a bit pissed off having been sacked from the NME for writing too pretentiously...

www.myspace.com/hostdivine

Go Lebanon

Five pairs of eyes adjusting to multicoloured fractals of light in a dimly lit room. Circus punk, Plato doom and Ketamine lounge. Eurovision song contest hopefuls. Inventive swirls of post-rock punctuated by the more extreme tendancies of Miles Davis 'On the Corner' period.

www.myspace.com/golebanon

Monster Island

3 piece 'ecstatic northern doom' merchants. Think early Pavement circa 'slanted and enchanted' mixed with the acerbic and dry wit of Lancastrian post-punks and you're not too far away from the island that we sent the big scary creatures to. Also near Blackburn.

www.myspace.com/monsterislandmusic

with DJs Jakes and Fever (Grand Royal, Area 51, Zulu Nation) playing the best in New Indie, Funk, IDM, Electro, post-Punk & post-Rock from the likes of !!!, Deerhunter, LCD Soundsystem, Deerhoof, Gang of Four, Lee Dorsey etc. after midnight till 4 am.

Sadly the last ever show from this much loved local hip hop duo, but theyre sure to go out with a bang.

amazin show at the oak boys, will try to get down to th next one!






With just the right blend of psychedelia and hypnotic grooves, WHITE HILLS weaves in and out of anthemic chants, deep space bleeps and other worldly madness for a mix that proves to be intoxicating. Since the release of the band’s debut CD, listeners have been praising their originality and unique brand of heavy space rock..

DØGNTANK - the power trio formed by Spiritualized and Brain Donor's legendary guitarist Doggen, Charlie Wayman and Antronhy OH. Just as you would imagine, a guitar blitz worthy of its name featuring songs of unrestrained but always melodic sonic attack..

GNOD - Pre-lingual humanoids attempting to communicate to their makers by way of drones and rhythm. Imagine it's 4am at a festival, your trip's on the turn and there's a Brazilian Mardi Gras approaching but as they get closer the carnival queen is Satan himself and he's drumming on the inside of your brain.....
