Revenge Of The Soundman! + Hercules II + Lost Robots + Future Daughter + Tobias Panton

Revenge Of The Soundman!– Yes, the people who tweak the knobs to make you sound brilliant in The Dublin Castle also make their own dark, deviant and delirious individual readings of Rock and Roll in their own excellent and varied bands. And tonight they get their own back. Wish You Were Engineer….Hercules II– Drones, power chords, motorik beats…staccato polyrhythms and mesmeric abandon to the hypno psych rock demon we all secretly crave from rocknroll. Where James Brown goes for The One, Hercules II go for The None. The beautiful oneness of Nothing, as in Everything. Er…no nuns were harmed in this write up. Lost Robots– the kind of waywardly playful and noirish experimentation that was rife in the post punk era. Plenty of scraping guitars, probing bass, narrations and incantations. Entertainment with a wry cerebral smile. The Family Fodder, or Swell Maps at their more outre spring to mind. Future Daughter- the wonderfully monikered F.D make dark indie rock with an electro interface, a touch of Curve, a tad of Mansun in places, and an impressively big sound with plenty in the way of hooks. What a great nite, but don’t buy the soundman a beer, you’ll be cleaned out. Tobias Panton – British/kiwi blues inspired rocker Tobias Panton has credibility in multiple bands including iconic punk band Menace, and has performed all over the western world in various guises. So buckle in for a side winding adventure into the vast soundscape of turbulent yet subtle melodic guitargasm and sweet while still husky vocal screeching of this up and coming musical genius… Toby and his having it hairy rocknroll persona, what’s not to lurv.
