MOST RAD NEWS
-----------------------------
The awesome GANG GANG DANCE have re- scheduled the Bristol show.
This will be one of two only headlining shows in the UK this year.
The Bristol show will be the official warm-up for their show at Brixton Academy (supporting ANIMAL COLLECTIVE !)
Wednesday 19th of August 2009
Qu Junktions & Glaive Concerts presents:
GANG GANG DANCE
+ The Color of The Sun
~ Fleece ~
12 St. Thomas Street Bristol BS1 6JJ
0117 945 0996 - 8PM - 12.00

Tickets 10 pounds in advance
On sale at Bristol Ticket Shop, Here Shop and See Tickets.
------i-n-f-o--------------------
This gang gang from Brooklyn, have emerged from a very fertile, indigenous music scene in their neighbourhood but have branched out way WAY further with their hook ups and hooks. It is a ghetto world music that declines fey introspection but invites in disparate saturated sounds and bang bang dance dynamics. Their multi-faceted music style was first brought to our attention following a series of releases on forward-thinking label, The Social Registry; and subsequently, they have found a suitable home on Warp Records.

The bands assemblage of wonky techno, outer rock, faux arabesque and other strange, spiralling, sinuous music forms that transcend categorisation. Utterly unique and iconoclastic.

“The eclectism is exhilarating” Uncut

“Excellent… a psychotropid mind meld” – Plan B

“Gang Gang Dance may now ascend to the bona fide league of geniuses.”
8/10 – NME

hey y'all come and check these guys out from baltimore. way to get loose on a friday night! + i play alone but still bring the dirt pop glistening with noise sprinkles

Fresh from their show at Barcelona's Primavera festival, Teeth Mountain will be unleash their heavy concoction of new-wave tribal psychedelic sounds on Cube, using driving percussion like other bands use guitars.

Deep, thick layers of rhythms and overlays of ambiance, from the gritty to the sublime, this eight-piece outfit create a controlled mayhem of weighty neo-tribal trance music, part Indian, part African, part Balkan, and part Baltimore, that transforms consciousness and carries the group and their listeners to higher states.

The Wire magazine recently praised their 'refusal to acknowledge any kind of destination point for their jamming, achieving a convincing state of suspension throughout, helped by some engagingly forceful drumming.'

Teeth Mountain pummel with noise and drums but are always inviting and joyous, a new wave of tribal sounds in underground music. Be prepared to witness a heady, peyote-voodoo brew, getting you out of your seats and on your feet.
Teeth Mountain will enthrall you in a rhythmic, musical spell.
