Rico is a self-produced artist from Glasgow, Scotland. His music spans a variety of styles from electro punk to industrial sounding grooves. Debut album 'Sanctuary Medicines' earned him much critical acclaim in the U.K. and across Europe. He has collaborated with several artists including trip-hop legend 'Tricky' and electro godfather 'Gary Numan'. In 2003 the 'Numan vs Rico' release 'Crazier' reached no.12 in the UK single chart with the video holding the No.1 position on Kerrang TV for four weeks. Alternative versions of these collaborations are featured on Rico's current album, 'Violent Silences'. The album also has a powerful, electro re-working of the Talking Heads classic 'Psycho Killer'..
In addition to headlining four UK tours Rico has played festival dates which have included Glastonbury, Roskilde, T in the Park, Reading, Leeds, Germany's Hurricane and Southside and the Libra festival in Austria. Support slots include Gary Numan, Live, The Fall and Therapy? Single releases include the 'Float' E.P. co-produced by DFA's Tim Goldsworthy. His work has also appeared on soundtracks to Hollywood movies including 'The Hole' and 'Nasty Neighbours' in addition to many credible TV shows.
The Doghouse in Glasgow is home to Manufractured Records and most of his production works. The studio has seen both established and local bands perched behind the mixing console.
The new live line-up have recently finished a U.K. alternative club tour. Rico is currently in the studio working on new material
Hanzel Und Gretyl, one of the world’s most prolific and ostentatious Metal acts to date, have announced an upcoming show at Glasgow’s Classic Grand, on Tuesday, 4th August.
“Led by goggle-sporting maniac Kaiser Von Loopy (an early indication of their unrestrained lunacy) they simply demand attention, high-fiving the front rows while blasting out some of the catchiest yet hardest-hitting anthems around” – Kerrang!
Formed in 1993, New York-based Death Metal outfit Hanzel Und Gretyl have always been a concept act. Founding members Kaiser Von Loopy and Vas Kallas remain fixated on a machine-themed approach to music writing and performance that has popularised the quote "Machines Good, People Bad” amongst their fans. Even now, HuG remain absorbed in a futuristic, post apocalyptic, extra terrestrial German fairy tale... each music release adds a chapter to the story.
Hanzel und Gretyl have earned their amazing credentials in the scene over the course of 5 massive studio albums and two equally-mind-blowing EPs. Having left Energy Records in 1998, HuG were quickly snapped up by Metropolis and have never looked back. As for their live gigging experience, touring with the likes of Cradle Of Filth, Marilyn Manson and Rammstein surely speaks for itself! Currently bringing their unique, heavy-as-lead stylings to the fore on their 2009 worldwide tour, Classic Grand is the proud host venue for their only scheduled Scottish date this year!
This is an outfit that catapulted itself to prominence via its outrageous, fun, yet relentlessly- extreme approach to live Metal performance. Support act Tor Marrock perform dark, gothic, Death Metal with incredible presence and flair which has won them fans in their musical peers and the scene as a whole. The chosen support for their Glasgow show further emphasises HuG’s excellent taste in weird and wonderful Met
