Influences
Too many to mention em all, from traditional tunes thru Ska Dub & Punk to Bangin' beats
Sounds Like
Traditional tunes served in an energetic soup of Ska Punk Dub & Dance music.
Uk Underground Festival Sound.
It’s all about dancing, always has been, from tribal drums, mediaeval pipes or a frenzy of voices…….. To sweaty pub back-rooms, banging nightclubs, free festivals & parties or anywhere there is a beat! Dance music embraces all of this history & Tarantism bring all of these influences into their songwriting & performance, weaving traditional instruments & styles with ska, punk, funk & dub. Along with contemporary lyrical content & imaginative arrangements this produces a unique mix of infectious dance rhythms & memorable tunes, real music that is fun & uplifting!
In addition to the full Live band Tarantism also perform two other sets as:
TARANTISM ACOUSTIC with traditional tunes & favourite songs for intimate venues or around the campfire.
TARANTISM SOUND SYSTEM where digital beats & samples are mixed with live performance for dance events & clubs. See www.myspace.com/tarantismsoundsystem

This month for your delectation we have the long waited return of the
fabulous Pink n Ruby with support from The Alice Band and The
Cultivators, with visuals from Crazy Eddie..and as always DJ Nova7
filling in the bits between the bits...
Pink n Ruby's music is
intimate and acoustic, with two guitars and two voices weaving together
to create a dreamlike ethereal sound sending you deep into the world of
the faeries..They have drawn inspiration from the beauty of Nature, the
singing of their inner angels and sometimes from their dark sense of
humour. The result is music with a unique sound and a haunting beauty. www.myspace.com/pinknruby
The
Aliceband: AlicebanD, like any decent original band are not easy to
describe. Led by the multi-talented Alice Walker, their music is an
upbeat folk/pop hybrid with intelligent, thought provoking lyrics. Having won the Haverill Rock Contest earlier this year, AlicebanD are fast becoming one of the area's prominent live acts.. www.myspace.com/alicemwalker
