   About tda
TDA are a band that play music

Come and see us at a dive near you

THE METRO NEWSPAPER love us, you should to:

''offering an ear bleeding blend of pulsing rhythms, screeching guitars...crafted under the skies of some apolcalyptic landscape...codified rhythms and carefully structured guitars coming together to create an unpolished cut of math rock''

NARC MAGAZINE also appear to be particularly titilated:

''TDA are one of the most underrated bands in Newcastle at the moment, their live show is comparable to witnessing an intensely localised carpet bombing. Huge drums, furious riffs and heartfelt howls puncture the safety of the room, no matter how much distance is between you and the band, you can’t help but be enthralled by the band, gripped by the throat and thrown about the room to the dischordant, chaotic noise-rock, DEMO OF THE MONTH''

STAR AND SHADOW CINEMA are pretty smitten:

''Dark and emotional math rock from loud and uncompromising local band. Taut, tense and angular with hints of old-school US hardcore''

If you have no taste at all, you can buy our E.P. from all good local record shops (Alt Vinyl, Beatdown Records, RPM) for £4 or via PayPal (+£1 P&P):

I've Got A Bloody Fly In My Face

Tracklisting:
1. The Foxes Are Like Racing Cars
2. Allie Sin
3. If I Had Known He Was Homeless, I Would Have Killed Him Myself
4. A Month In Russia
5. Now Can You Cough?

Cheers arrears

Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Advance tickets available from http://www. ticketweb. co. uk/user/?region=gb_northeast&query=detail&event=293318

This will be the only Dartz gig anywhere until Easter 2009, so don't miss out! It'll also be their first gig in Newcastle as a four piece and what with it being Christmas, they'll be giving away a few presents, 'cause they're nice like that.

Support comes from Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, fresh from their tour of Poland, and Hartlepool superstars Ankles, who are a bit like The Shins, but lower.

Distraction





Nov 30 2008 12:09 PM

This takes place this Thursday! See you there? d.x.




Distraction presents Kania Tieffer, a otter-fixated Chick On Speed cacking out pleasantly disturbed lo-fi fake nonsense r'n'b and vitriolic electropop with cheap children's keyboards, a battered old computer and an electric guitar, in an unmissable live show.
Support comes from sample stealing, tune pinching, melody wrecking a-moral wrong-uns and kings of nostalgia-core Radgepackets, and pointlessly hostile bootmash-noisewhore-wrongtronica idiot Dressed In Wires! Cor!

Only 4 quid in, kick-off at 8pm, find out more here!
