PLAYLOUDER PRESENTS: PRE // VILE IMBECILES // DDD // CHANNELS 3x4Digital Singles | 07 September 2006

After the riotous success of the last PlayLouder show whence Circulus and Voxtrot rocked our basement, we’re back at the Old Blue Last for a show that, we can guarantee, will be Very Loud Indeed.

Indeed we shall try and trouble the venue’s new floor with the quartet of Beezlebubbian bands we’ve got playing for us on Wednesday, September 20th, 2006. They are (a drum roll from the bowels of Valhalla, if you please, maestro):

PRE: Best described, as we did a few months back, as “bass buggeration”, Pre are probably one of the finest and most evil live bands you’re likely to catch in the UK at the moment. With Akiki (also of Comanechi) screaming over the terrifying twin bass/guitars/drums assault of the Pre chaps.

VILE IMBECILES: Former Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster and Neils Children men Andy Huxley and James Hair apparently left their respective bands because they wanted to do something more sonically challenging. Well, you don’t get much more challenging than this, a terrifying brew of self-styled ‘death jazz’, where time signatures and melody are considered trivial matters, and thundering evil reigns.

ddd: With his second single ‘Knives’ out via the excellent White Heat label in October, deviantly handsome Anglosolo artist ddd smacks together chunky 303 rhythms and demonic guitar crunches into some-time love songs as that are indecently catchy as they are complex.

CHANNELS 3×4: And for you, this one time only, we defy space for gear and time by having an extra band. Hooray! Yup, Canada’s Channels 3×4 are stepping in for the hell of it and blasting off proceedings with their excitable, menacing synth racket, that sounds like a mucked -up Numbers from an abacus owned by Gallileo’s insane drunk brother.

So we hope to see plenty of you there, The Old Blue Last, Wednesday, September 20th, 2006, 8pm, four pounds and fifty pence on the door, and we’ll do a cheap thing for PlayLouder members.
