Noises Like Ashes SINGLE RELEASE THIS FRIDAY @ Confusion is Sex - 11pm The Bongo Club

"Like a cracked toy from the 80’s being played to death with a hybrid of Ian Curtis & Mark E Smith fronting . . ." - Subba-Cultcha

CONFUSION IS SEX
Where fantasy becomes reality, Confusion Is Sex invites freaks, weirdos, princesses, kings, slaves... CiS is an environment rather than just a music night. It's like walking into a David Lynch set where the weird is normal, giving people the chance to be something they're not.

Hey Jim, Many, Many Thanks to you for everything.
We had a fantastic time, 2 gigs in one night. Edinburgh is a positive we will never forget. The second gig is now a complete blur, I think it was after 2am, we went on???? Hope to set up some gigs for Edinburgh bands in London in the future. We all had a fantastic time and are inspired by the experience, Thank You to everyone, and Thank You Jim for letting us play what was was our longest set so far. Salud, A, K, P, T. XXX

a million forms of praise to secret cds.

i cannot go to secret cds because of RUBY*s commitments. maybe you could come up to the WASH or the JAZZ bar sometime. do a crossover.

your aim has always been ruby*s aim.

Saturday 7 March
Wee Red Bar
7:30 doors
£4



VERSUS: three of Edinburgh’s finest noise-hungry racketeers are set to mash up and pound out a shrill of lug-piercing sonics at the Wee Red. Using a format that’s never before graced an Auld Reekie stage, the Bear Scotland triumvirate of The Foundling Wheel, Dead Boy Robotics and Enfant Bastard will set up concurrently and duel track to track, concocting scintillating aural juxtapositions that ignite the synapses with waves of neuron-transcending clatter.



The Foundling Wheel: builds noise-saturated, melody-laced mountains of programmed polyrhythms and bit-crushed distortion.

"A one man wail of screeching banshee sonics" – The Skinny
www. myspace. com/thefoundlingwheel



DeadBoyRobotics: spits out call-and-response broken-beat synth-punk at splintering decibles.

" their oh-so-ironic yelping and synth-prodding wankery is head-splitting " – The Skinny
www. myspace. com/deadboyrobotics



Enfant Bastard: circuit-bending drum-machine-addled anti-folk that can rarely be arsed to finish what it started.

“tape crackle hisses away in the background, instruments slop about all over the place, and everyone sounds wasted” – The Skinny
