Toolshed Members Graham Clark (Violin) and Graham Massey Duet March09

TOOLSHED
Formed accidentaly as a "house "band in Manchesters Northern Quarter club scene,TOOLSHED was the name of Graham Masseys monthly club night,
Electronica acts such as Autechre, ,,Mathew Herbert ,Squarepusher Kieren Hebden all came to play live sets ,
The Toolshed Allstars monthly sets grew from two people to a 28 piece orchestra at one point,
Centered around Massey's laptop and instrument collection, established Mcr musicians such as Paddy Steer ( Homelife),Richard Harrison (Spaceheads) and jazz violinist Graham Clark (Gong) were joined by newcomers
such as vocalist Seaming To and drummer James Ford .
A compendium of the project is availabe on Twisted Nerve Records as a double vynil pack.
album review
"The release is too diverse to pigeonhole, without a hint of pretention either, it’s as if Massey wanted to collate every piece of music he’s ever heard into one complete package. He’s pretty damn successful too. Music as good as this doesn’t come about often, embrace it while you can."
live review
The voodoo soundtrack created by the drummers is terrifying but exhilarating. This percussion force is crucial, blasting the band off from dance music. The other key component is the brass section, whose enormous stabs of melody ensure that no matter how weird the Allstars get - and they certainly get weird they are always orbiting around a killer tune. Everyone from avant jazzheads to techno kids should love them.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Ground shattering 1st release on Doppelganger Records by Galaxian. 7 tracks of sublime electro inspiration. Dark atmospherics, menacing basslines and creeping grooves combine to make this a future classic.
Michael Jackson died and that night I had a dream, I dreamed that I was
on top of a bike with ET in the basket, woke sad because it was just a
fucking dream. For breakfast I had a revelation: it is easy to
criticize, but it is not easy to take a picture with the ET
I called the computer, it crashed, reboot and have fun with the coolest artist that ET has the hands.
love, affection, samba!
listen : Michael, Jesus and me
