Live at Whelan's - 3rd December 2007 (Our first show as a duo!)
Video by D. Donohoe

Hello and who we are

Thread Pulls are an experimental two-piece with the drumbeat at their core. Thread Pulls became the first Irish band to be invited to play at the celebrated All Tomorrow's Parties festival. After releasing four EPs on 9-pt records as a three piece, they stripped down to the duo of Gavin Duffy and Peter Maybury, and spent the following two years developing their upbeat progressive sound which meshes trumpet, electronics and treated vocals with a no-wave inspired mix of repetitive bass and drums. Thread Pulls are now recording their début album.

Peter also makes electronic music as Hardsleeper and in Rainfear. Gavin plays occasionally with Karl Him and Electronic Sensoria Band.

Press

'The occasional use of trumpet brings to mind Throbbing Gristle's "Cornets" being covered by Sonic Youth.....This leaner, meaner and more muscular line up has left the music at its most powerful.' - Brainwashed

'It's our first taste of The Noise of the weekend... Thread Pulls tree-surgeon Sonic Youth and night-time dockyard menace is a harsh contrast to the lush, impending spring outside.' - Playlouder (review of performance at Vincent Gallo ATP)

'Og der var strøm på dublindrengene, da de med The Fall-agtigt postpunk og Tortoise-kraut henrykkede det nu både stående og henslængte publikum.' - Geiger (Hurra Festival review)

'An exquisitely loud percussion and screaming guitar explosion, the post punk stomp that they began with touches base with bands like Liars, a primal funk hidden under sheet metal.' - Brainwashed (Bardo Pond review)

'fans of music that is neither soft nor safe also may find something to treasure here' - Irish Times

'To use lazy journalistic shorthand, Thread Pulls are Big Black covering This Heat. Does it get any better than that?' - Wirewool blog 2

'built from feedback, dissonant chops and reedy vocals that put one in mind of Thurston Moore traversing a tar pit,' - The Wire

'their minimalist aesthetic really shines through' - Foxy Digitalis 

'ostinato pulse of snarling guitars and noises' - Stylus magazine

Made available

All Thread Pulls releases are available from www.9-pt.com, Road Records (Dublin) and Printed Matter (New York)

Hallos THREAD PULLS:

Thank you for the add and friendship. We really appreciate. We will appreciate if you could send us comment about our music you can freely say and speak your mind. Well love to hear from you. Thank you.

We ..just Release The New CD here in myspace last Saturday. Check it out… Please Comment to us… If you think we suck please say so… We can take criticism no PROBLEM!!!

Have A Wonderful Day, A Spectacular Week and A Extra unordinary Weekend

NEW COMENTS

We are an Extra Unordinary Band. The Full CD was recorded in one take at a time all improvised, just minimal mixing to keep the levels down and to preserve the mood of the recording.

The Music you will hear was made out of nothing using real instruments performed at the time with no idea or concept. From the beginning we wanted to real create a new type of music performance...

We called Accidental Music.

Hope you like but if not is ok send us a bad comment.

Lupus Keys, Pepe Botella Drums and Drum Sounds Real play, Juan Chispa Synth Guitar, Electric Guitar, Percussion.

The Hunter Gracchus Companions of the Porch CD-R

We've never been able to quite pin down exactly how the The Hunter Gracchus are going to play on any given occasion, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.

Thread Pulls,

Welcome to my world! I write music reviews about any kind of music I can feel. The latest one is called "Avant Jazz Hip Hop Genius" and it's about a great jazz ensemble with Napoleon Maddox laying down the rhymes.
My review of "NuTakes" by IsWhat?! is linked to this sentence. (Click the words to read the review.) I hope you find some music to get you through the day.


"I've never understood a sing bar of music in my life, but I've felt it.

~ Igor Stravinsky

Thank you for being my friend.
