Sounds LikeBoth Fire and Ice

"bits of My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth vie with modernist Radiohead-tinged arrangements..wraps you up in a lovely blanket of guitars and whispers in your ear that everything's going to be alright."

SOURCE Magazine July 2008

"absolutely excellent... one of the best unsigned bands of 2008"

DJ Lamp, Radio Reverb January 2009

"superb indie rock...an excellent set of tunes! Highly recommended!”

Ken Stringfellow (one half of The Posies and keyboardist for R.E.M.) March 2008

"A cacophonous crescendo of soaring guitars and frenetic drumming, interspersed with tender and moving waves of melody. All clearly masters of their instruments, they still manage to capture the raw and unpredictable energy that this type of krautrock-postrock-psychedelia demands"

   About Man Ray Sky
The band is in the midst of writing material for an album as well as honing their live performances with which they hope to add a more visual element to their shows. The sound of Man Ray Sky live can be an intense affair, with melodic lullabies brushing up against experimental noise pieces; the two opposing but strangely complementary sides of Man Ray Sky.

"Complex and remarkably accessible, atmospheric yet earthy, sparse acoustic instrumentation cutting through dense arrangements." - Lucid Culture

Mark!  I dropped my phone in the toilet so I lost your number!  I got your voicemail (I was recording a radio session so had my phone switched off) but I don't have a number to call!  Bad times - anyway yeah the show is 12th October at Hectors House - confirm with me when you can.

Come down and see 4 or 5 Magicians supporting the awesome Times New Viking at The Freebutt tomorrow (Thursday 24th Sep) - we're on at 8pm sharp - I'll stick you on the cheap list!

So it turns out,
someone is actually crazy enough to let us play a gig! I know, we're
not sure what they are thinking either, maybe they hate the people
that come to their night? or maybe they can smell the future and it's
wearing a lab coat and goggles... Friday 9th Oct Prince
Albert we're on about 9pm - £4 in.
