Musicwe have a really important announcment to make. The Necks are performing at the CBSO Centre on Friday the 22May 2009.This is such a special event, and we would urge you all to get hold of a ticket. This will be one of the most unique performances this year.

"one of the most extraordinary groups on the planet...not so much a trio as a revolutionary consortium redefining music... “ THE GUARDIAN

A group which has been together for twenty years, recorded over a dozen albums, several film soundtracks and performed at several world-class venues including multiple performances at the Sydney Opera House. As their dedicated followers know, their performances are entirely improvised consisting of two pieces evolving over around 50 minutes each and are an experience that has to be heard to be believed. Their mix of ambient, jazz and hypnotic groove based music has built an enthusiastic cult audience in their home Australia, Europe and the USA. Chris Abrahams on piano, Lloyd Swanton bass and Tony Buck on drums.
Tickets available from
www.birminghamjazz.co.uk


This weeks recommendations, from the inner mind of Steve " Happy Feet" Bull.
BILLY DOLAN
Outside of a stint in the post-Sunny Day Real Estate group Fire Theft, guitarist Billy Dolan has been MIA since 1999, when his band 5ive Style released its final album, Miniature Portraits. Apparently Dolan's been stockpiling creative energy since, because his self-released, self-promoted solo debut Do_Ist overflows in all the right ways, with genre- and culture-crossed experimentation. Backed by Tortoise/5ive Style drummer John Herndon and Isotope 217° bassist Matt Lux—also his sidemen in the '90s punk-funk unit Heroic Doses—Dolan channels jazz fusion, African pop, Meters-style funk, Hendrix-esque acid rock, and Dead-inspired jams through the fretboard of a punk lifer, emerging with a hybrid that's at once gritty and perfectly executed, surprising and warmly familiar

...filigree and athmospheric electrosounds, combined with the charismatic vocals of the singer Nic Koray, all in all creating an extraordinarily melancholic and thought-provoking music having no equal...
