Sounds Like

Organart.com on our debut EP:
This is just wonderful - wonderful sound, wonderful artwork/packaging, uplifting creativity and a rather unique sound – music making an creative DIY at its very best... just beautiful. Delicate whispered resonance, a precise focused blend of mesmerizing post-rock and inviting welcoming alt.folk. A creative delight, a whispered piece of minimalist beauty. Two beautiful songs, two richly textured sculpted songs that just promise so so much and even it should be that Kopek never ever do another thing then this would two track treasure would be more than enough. A special CD from a rather special band.

Audioscribbler.co.uk on 'Lost At Sea' live:
"A solid breakbeat and wonderful, Efterklang-ish horns collide in a lively, fun packed tune... its regal melodies and counter melodies bringing the set to a triumphant close. One last thing though; Marcus seems to be able to sing, really sing, without actually having to ever open his mouth. Consider yourselves forewarned."

The BBC on the John Peel Day show they invited us to play:
Spotted at this year’s Brighton Live festival Kopek take their musical lead from bands like Múm, Low and Six Organs of Admittance, and their set promises a hypnotic blend of post rock where minimalist and folk sensibilities collide.

   About Kopek

We have a very limited number of CDs that we made for the Saving Iceland show left over. They are all hand watercoloured, hand printed and unique. They look a bit like this:

They're just £2.50, send us a message if you're interested.


After a debut performance supporting Mechanical Bride, Kopek have already played with the likes of The Blow, David Thomas Broughton, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone and Vic Chesnutt with the A Silver Mt. Zion and Guy Picciotto of Fugazi and Rites of Spring

Kopek have also headlined shows both in and outside of Brighton, Kopek's home town. Bass-player Jacob and guitarist Marcus also play in Sons of Noel and Adrian and drummer Danny plays as Laish and with the Laish Quartet

A debut EP of experimental pieces is now available and another of acoustic songs is currently being created.

Currently Sweden's hottest export, THOSE DANCING DAYS combine "Sweet as apple-pie pop" with a devilishly sassy Northern Soul and it's this unique combination that has the got the whole of the UK falling over itself and for good reason too!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The subtle dynamics in their songwriting of JOHN and JEHN and the balance between chaos and beauty and the mastery of heartbreaking melodies Expect beautifully skewed hymns in the key of Serge Gainsbourg.

Wakefield's THE RESEARCH are makers of fun, but also write songs that are like punches in the stomach that knock the wind out of you but afterwards you agree that you feel much better for it.

Robots From Mars





May 17 2008 10:06 PM

INTERGALLACTIC PROTEST LAUNCHED
BY THE ROBOTS FROM MARS!

The Robots From Mars have launched a protest with the Beetlejuice Gaming Commission. The major issue focuses on the disadvantage that metallic robots have when playing Pong since most robots tend to light up when struck by the game ball.
“But that all depends on the size of the game ball verses the size of the robot,” the Great Butbot advised, “there’s a proper ratio with these things.”
Johnny Air-Guitar, “Getting struck by a ball of light is a real and constant danger…if I light up I’ll give my position away.”
Rob “Rainbow” Marley, “I light up if I’m within six feet of a Pong match. I think it is a radiation thing.”
“You’d light up anyway,” Johnny Air-Guitar added. “You’re always smoking.”
This reporter noted that most of the beings attending the protest in the office of the Beetlejuice Gaming Commission took some of these comments by the Robots From Mars as a joke. But I’m not convinced. I never met a synthetic that had a sense of humor.


ZZ Van Hendrix, “Bowling is even worse than Pong. What robotic ten pin wants to stand around with 9 of his buddies just to get knocked down so that he has to continually pick himself back up again? It’s a senseless stupid ritual! And who gains…some fat old hippie in a tie-dyed T-shirt?
Bowling and Pong are both barbaric. They should be outlawed!”
