After a veriable famine in the North East music 'scene' where the musically adventurous and artistically driven have been forsaken in favour of the safe, the tame and the bland, Distraction present three days of aural innovation, future players, and diverse sonic excursions that right those very wrongs.
The Distraction Weekender returns. Accept no imitations.
Thanks for playing the 'Monday Shuffle' night at TOM club this week. Just wanted to say I really enjoyed your music and it would be great if you could play again. Enjoy the festival at the weekend, I'm just off for a nice cup of English Tea! Nikki
Stars of the Lid are easily one of the most important and influential bands or our times. Read a review of any ambient or experimental band these days and you will see their name being dropped, and it’s not hard to hear why. Stars of the Lid are masters of weaving sonic textures gorgeously into beautiful, absorbing, minimalist epic drones, wavering between subtly mournful and gloriously triumphant, offering the perfect soundtrack to lucid daydreaming.
Hear Stars Of The Lid play in Newcastle in a perfect church setting for this very special show. Buy tickets now or purchase from RPM, Beatdown or alt. vinyl!

Hey guys...Baz here from Imploding...the message I sent earlier...what happened with it? This new messaging thing (run by SKYPE) is really baffling! Did it ask you to download it to read the message? And also, did it have the sender as 'Baraizi' or 'Imploding Acoustic Inevitable'...weird shit this! Don't see why they cant keep things simple!
