    NOISEY & EAT YOUR OWN EARS PRESENT
    Feathers Live
    Glitches Live
    Noisey DJs

    Downstairs Hosted By: Anthony Chalmers

    Feathers
    All-girl synth-pop band Feathers sound like the Human League if Joanne and Susan Ann were in charge (which okay, they sort of were). During a recent interview, the four-piece listed their influences, which included everything from from images from The Fifth Element and Bladerunner to an exploration of the Concept of Heaven and a documentary on How the Universe Works. Oh, and some footage of Depeche Mode. What this tells us is that we should expect a band whose science-fictional vision is represented in sound and lyrics.

    Glitches
    Occupying a former college of law, situated above a nightclub and African mafia den, Glitches write, record, and live together. They have diverse musical inspirations and idols, ranging from Francisco Tarrega, Maurice Ravel, through to Catullus, via Isaac Mtshali, and Massive Attack. Their music draws on everything from Kafka, to Constable, and The Decline And Fall of the Roman Empire.

    The Story So Far
    Having sold out their debut London headline show at The Old Blue Last in April, California’s THE STORY SO FAR have added an extra date on May 24th. Pick up tickets while you have the chance.
    Guitarist Will Levy comments, “We’re really excited to come headline. We really enjoy coming to the UK and we’re stoked to finally hit mainland Europe. It’ll be our first tour with our new record so people can expect something new. The new record is heavier and more melodic than USAD. It’s still us, it’s just more focused."

    CRUNCHY CLUB
    Lars & The Hands of Light Live
    Shiny Darkly Live

     

    Lars & The Hands of Light
    Lars and The Hands of Light released their debut album, ‘The Looking Glass’, back in 2010. The single “Hey My Love, Hey Love” made quite an impact in Denmark, including massive airplay on national Danish radio, P3, and the band even gained a nomination for “Best New Talent” at the prestigious “P3 Gold”-awards. On the other hand, the single “Me Me Me” earned the band a regular hit in France, leading to TV-performances and intensive touring in France, Germany and Benelux.
    Facebook

    Shiny Darkly
    Shiny Darkly take the listener to a dark, highly electric, narcotic drone-like universe. Kristoffer Bech’s chanting and insisting vocals, sometimes bordering a lecturing is reminiscent of great personalities such as Nick Cave and Ian Curtis. It’s hard to believe that a 22 year old kid from fashionable Frederiksberg, Copenhagen can carry such darkness, such weltschmerz and infinite longing.

    Throwing Up
    NME magazine described Throwing Up as "London's latest DIY shit-storm", whilst Maximumrocknroll said "Throwing Up make super cool snarly stripped-down punk that sounds to these ears like a catchy post-grunge echo of DC’s Chalk Circle mixed with a bit of that lo-fi Messthetics-style hustle bustle". Their first Single 'Toothache' was self released in March 2011, followed by their second single 'Mother Knows Best' on What's Your Rupture? in October 2011 and their third single 'Big Love' in March 2012. They now release their debut album on Tim Burgess' (The Charlatans) label - O Genesis in May 2013.

    THE BIG MIX
    Lady Lamb The Beekeeper Live
    Candy Says Live
    Zoe Konez Live
     

    The Big Mix is proud to present Lady Lamb The Beekeeper live at The Old Blue Last, all in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

    Lady Lamb the Beekeeper is the stage name of musician Aly Spaltro whose first recordings were distributed in handmade packages via a second hand DVD shop and local record store, The Bull moose in her hometown of Brunswick, Maine.

    Lady Lamb the Beekeeper soon rose to prominence as one of Portland's most popular local acts and in the fall of 2009, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper reverted to a solo project. In 2010 she was named Folk Artist of the Year by the Boston Music Awards and on February 19th, 2013, she released her first studio album, Ripely Pine, to rave reviews. The album shouts the introduction of a new talent from every groove. Here, finally, are recordings of Lady Lamb that come as close as possible to conveying the intense majestry of her live shows. And, much like her performances live, a narrative breathes through the record’s progression. The album opens with urgency and anger, settles into reconciliation and reciprocation, and ultimately reaches towards resolution, realizing infatuation leads to a loss of self; instead, embracing one’s own strengths is the most powerful thing of all.
    No surprise that Spaltro ultimately sings a mantra of individuality. A listen to Ripely Pine proves she has a lot to say for herself and certainly doesn’t need anybody’s help to do it.

    Layers
    Hailing from Birmingham, Layers seamlessly combine elements of soul and pop with an often-times gritty and hardcore edge. They manage to be progressive and abrasive, yet dripping with infectious pop sensibilities. Throw in a live show that is emotional, energetic and primal and this gets you somewhere close to the cathartic experience that is Layers.

    A Plastic Rose
    The four piece from Belfast, Northern Ireland share a bond of camaraderie and common vision that has compelled them to improve upon each release, pushing themselves further and further in their pursuit of greateness. This, coupled with the whole band recently uping sticks to Nottingham, shows that A Plastic Rose are set to be big.

    Tim Barry Live

    Tim Barry
    A few years back, singer-songwriter Tim Barry closed out an album by pondering his own death – and he didn’t seem to mind leaving this earth too much. 2012 found him in a very different place. Themes of resilience and hope flow through Barry’s newest record, "40 Miler". “If this record is uplifting compared to my old ones it’s because I feel stronger from all the beat-downs and shit I’ve taken in the past,” says the Richmond, Virginia-based artist.
