Sounds LikeTHE GEORDIE APPROACH released their debut album Why Eye on Simon Fell’s French label Bruce’s Fingers in 2007. The album has already generated some good reviews in Norway and the UK. Critic Tor Hammerø writes in Jazznytt (No. 5, 2007): “The music is experimental and gets its inspiration from a range of sources – both acoustic and electric – both rock, jazz and noise… I have some small doubts about the suitability of The Geordie Approach as a warm-up band in St. James.. Park. Nevertheless: this is tough, original and different.” In Jazzwise (Issue no. 114) the band is curiously depicted as “a little like Scorch Trio and Supersilent playing dance tunes for brain-damaged ravers…Call it noise-funk if you like.” Check out our cd Why Eye on iTunes: The Geordie Approach or buy it at the following sites: http://www.brucesfingers.co.uk/catalogue/bf68.htm or http://www.amazon.co.uk Or, just click on this :

   About The Geordie Approach
THE GEORDIE APPROACH is an exciting collaboration between the two Norwegian musicians Petter Frost Fadnes and Ståle Birkeland, teamed up with guitarist Chris Sharkey, a Geordie born and bred (hence the approach...). This uncompromising and experimental trio pursues music within loose improvisational structures, adding a surprisingly broad range of flavours and catalysing their creative ideas (sometimes getting lost) within a sizeable musical space. In their untiring quest for brilliant and unusual musical goals - Birkeland, Fadnes and Sharkey produce musical elements that often are contradictory in shape, moving between melody and noise, ambient grooves and abstract textures. THE GEORDIE APPROACH has already performed at various venues across the UK in their atumn 2007/spring 2008 tour, and also toured Norway in 2007. The summer of 2007..s album launch was followed up with gigs in Norway – playing with distinguished Norwegian organist/composer Nils Henrik Asheim. They have played at festivals such as Nattjazz in Bergen, Frakture festival in Liverpool, Kristiansand International Church Music Festival (w/Nils Henrik Asheim), Nu-Music in Stavanger (Children..s show) and LIMA festival in Leeds.

MANorBEAST

this Saturday at the Star & Shadow Cinema on the edge of Byker, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.

the night stars:

BRONNT INDUSTRIES KAPITAL (Static Caravan / Silent Age Records)

Victorian clockwork electronica which isn't afraid to tip its pince-nez to the dancefloor and erupt into italo fueled disco beauty. Somewhere between Goblin, Moroder and the sound of the abyss... check out his soundtrack to Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages, a superb silent film from 1922, or investigate his presence on Myspace, or at Silent Age Records

JAMIE ALLEN

This man is the future of pop. A new resident to Newcastle, formerly of the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra and electronics man in the Age of Wire and String. Hot stuff! mmmmm....weblink!

SDF

Disco Cyber Funk with basslines to tell your grandchildren about...check out their myspace

MIKE PLUS

from the Fratelli di Rimini taking the audience on a musical journey from Chicago to Salford, by way of an Italian disco and the moors on the Yorkshire borders.

Franco Soviet DJ collective SUGARPUFF playing Muscled Bangers
& DJ CHOV, experimentalist Turntable champion of both sides of the Pennines.

& also featuring
two beastly movies in the cinema, THE BLIND BEAST, and FLAVIA (an example of the short lived nunsploitation genre)

Do come.
8pm. £3 for S&S members. £4 otherwise.

colossal party atmosphere...

all the best
