DURRR

APRIL 2008:

28th: SNAX (LIVE)

Originally from the U.S, Snax is firmly ensconced in the Berlin underground, having been a member of electro wizards Captain Comatose. With a couple of albums already in the can, tonight he brings his sleazy Prince-isms to the club so we can all get the funk. Unbelievably dirty basslines and tight trousered vocal harmonies are the order of the day. Think Mr. Oizo with a sex addiction and you’re half way there….

MAY 2008:

5th : POST WAR YEARS (LIVE)

Post War Years are Simon, Henry, Tom and Fred. They all bunk up in a dis-used Russian Social club (so the tale goes) and create slightly epic, artsy synth pop. A bit like a less overtly happy MGMT with touches of collage rock and a some Beck-isms thrown in, tonight they’ll be coming down to entertain us! Debut single ‘The Black Morning’ is released on May 12th….

12th : DUCHESS SAYS (LIVE)

Montreal children A-Claude, Ismael, Phil and Simon Says make up Duchess says. This enigmatic bunch of Canadians are sure to bamboozle – as it says on their myspace: “Duchess Says is serving us a repertory of “moog rock” songs strong in images and enormoustly intense live performances!…Duchess Says has the mandate to decontextualise the rock and to promote simultaneously their Church on the way”. So now you know….

BANG GANG (DJ SET)

Guests of ours last Autumn, Bang Gang served up an almighty dance party so good we’ve invited them back again! With a double mix CD ‘LSD: Light, Sound, Dance’ out now on Modular records, don’t miss the chance to make your feet very happy!

19th : WE ARE WOLVES (LIVE)

More fun from Montreal this week with Lupine friends Alexander, Vincent and Antonin, who make up We Are Wolves. Once again, these French Canadians say it better than we ever could: ‘A gang of three, four including rock. We are Wolves imposes a music that’s both free and honest, like the celestial lightning on the mystic mountain. It’s a post-punk landscape filled with analogue trees. It’s like rock after the post-modern explosion.’

SKULLJUICE (DJ SET)

Regular guests Alex and Ben bring their juicy skulls down to Durrr again to drop another of their famously funtastic sets! Having recently remixed LOTP’s ‘The Bears Are Coming’ and put out the latest in their series of excellent podcasts these busy boys about town are always a treat!

26th : PANTHER (LIVE)

Portland, Oregon’s Panther are Charles Byron Salas-Humara and Joe Faustin Kelly. They released their album ‘14kt God’ on Killrockstars in Febuary and have been bending discerning ears for a while now. Punky but intricate, synthy yet rocking – don’t miss the chance to see these underground kings! www.myspace.com/panthertouch
