"brilliant electronic madness" - Euan, TheSteinbergPrinciple

"Like a cracked toy from the 80’s being played to death with a hybrid of Ian Curtis & Mark E Smith fronting, TFW are as exciting as they are innovative!" -Subba-Cultcha

   About The Foundling Wheel
The Foundling Wheel builds noise-saturated mountains of programmed polyrhythms and bitcrushed distortion. A solo act, his brutally overdriven guitars, loops, and samples twist and career between twitchy introspection and a "wail of screeching banshee sonics.” Pretty collides with ugly and melodies shatter into shimmering pieces.

The Foundling Wheel started in 2007 and has shared the stage with Pivot, So So Modern, Zombie Zombie, Drum Eyes, Felix Kubin, and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and is part of the Bear Scotland collective with Meursault, DeadBoyRobotics, Withered Hand, and Enfant Bastard. His eponymous debut album was released in 2008. The single “Noises Like Ashes” was released in July 2009.

Electropapknit are pleased to announce that we are back with a new club
night featuring amazing bands from Wednesday 4 November 2009!!!

As a new night in the now long gig history of Electropapknit shows, we thought we had to come up with an apt name that put across what we are about: great bands, cheap prices and bloody good times.

Therefore the new clubnight will be called Panda Panda Panda!

Based at the Glasgow School of Art, door entry with be £3 with cheap drink deals
on shots at £1, pints £1.50 and vodka mix £1.50. We are very excited about the first night in November as it features three of our favourite most excellent bands from Glasgow:

Vom - mind bending apocalypse space rock, with a nod to the lounge effect that might just melt you! This aggression won't stand, man!

The Ballad of Mable Wong - jangled up bloody alt fun, with progressive and decadent melodies released by sharp guitar crunch, Sexy!

Mr Peppermint - former Hyena megasexuals, with swooning noise vox and
tub thumping rhythms. Killer riffs on one side, masks in the other!
