Hello there!
Huge thanks to all of
you who came out over the weekend for our two shows with Madalyn and Cian, it
was so great to see you all. We’re back in the saddle tomorrow with PURLING HISS in town. An evening of
blown-out punk pop with some haywire noise jams and looped abandon (waiting in
the wings) is what we have planned for Corsica Studios. Plus, the always
impressive PRIMITIVE PARTS and KRISTIAN HARTING will both be
performing too! There will be some tickets on the door if you’d prefer to dodge
the booking fee, and live music will kick off around 8.40pm. Let me leave you
with a video of Purling Hiss’ recent catchy incantation ‘Mercury Retrograde’ to help set the scene, enjoy…

Studios, 5 Elephant Street, Elephant & Castle, SE17 1LB
PURLING HISS’ Mike Polizze has put in much time in the fried
Philly blooze overdrive of the group Birds of Maya, but in his own vehicle he’s
expanded his grotty guitar wailing into the further cosmos, still shredding
speakers aplenty. With releases out on Drag City, Richie, Woodsist Records, and
a previous LP on Permanent, Purling Hiss became a full-fledged touring unit in
2010, revealing themselves to not only be purveyors of Rallizes
Denudes/Vermonster-style guitar jams, but to have a serious 90’s grunge/pop
ethic not too far removed from bits of Bleach-era Nirvana. Lots of ooh-oohs to
coincide with the growls, severe hooks to get lodged in your cranium. Full-tilt
with tunes, aggro riffs, feedback peals, stoned soul-searching, pop turnarounds
and magisterial portraits of the go-nowhere lifestyle in abstract, new album
‘Weirdon’ is also a new-phase Purling Hiss album, using the songwriting and
guitar style of Polizze to come up with a quicksilver sound touched on only
briefly on previous records. Replete with handclaps, pounding pianos,
tambourines and vocal effects, but steeped in guitar roar, Purling Hiss
streamlines up nicely, serving the new songs and directions of ‘Weirdon’ while
still slamming down hard on your ears like they like to do.
PRIMITIVE PARTS are three friends from London, consisting of
Lindsay Corstorphine of Sauna Youth and Monotony, and Male Bonding's Kevin
Hendrick and Robin Christian. Last year, they released their “Open Heads” b/w “Signal” 7″, and it proved really great. The band
recently released a new 7” on Faux Discx too entitled “TV Wheels” b/w “The
Bench,” and is every inch the charged-up fuzz-bomb you’d expect, never stinting
on melody.
KRISTIAN HARTING is inspired by sufi-music, mali-blues, western
lo-fi pop and the avant-garde. His aim is pure, to write beautiful songs and
music using what’s at hand only pulled into the realms of the gritty, noisy and
beautiful. Harting does this via the mediums of guitar, voice, circuit-bending,
effects-pushing and diverse electronic and acoustic trips. ‘Float’ released by
Exile On Mainstream last year is his most recent release and it’s well worth
checking out!
Thanks for
listening, we’ll see you tomorrow!
