VAUDEVILLE
a fresh take on another lost scene...
The Burlesque movement fused together musical innovation with visual stimulation,
against a backdrop of enlightened thought. Inspired by this groundbreaking
movement, Vaudeville challenges the standard live format and brings bands
from the re-energised New Wave, Art Punk and Garage Rock scenes to a unique
environment - expect burlesque strips and innovative performances going
head to head with live music in amongst installations, video walls, DJ's
and little environmental surprises.
This month will see The Gin Palace and The Cribs carve their own deep
notch on Vaudeville's already lauded bedpost. Rose Meres provides a seductive
take on Egyptian Belly dancing whilst the company In Bed all Day, engage
in a space odyssey through electroclash.
Vaudeville residents Divo and Black Mark present structured, eclectic
sets between acts: music features The Detroit Cobras, the Gang of Four,
Talking Heads, The Cramps, JSBX, Royal Trux, Bowie, Television, The White
Stripes, 80's Matchboxs

8i8/Utrophia
Art and musicians' collectives 8i8 and Utrophia team up to bring you a
night of experimental film and music, featuring live laptop performances
and projections - an engaging audio-visual mix.
Coryate¹s music is evocative of subdued memories and filmic narrative.
Subtle and patient, the dense atmosphere creeps up on you with startling
emotional effect. Hologram will be playing a set of inimitable melodic
electronica, concentrating on the composition of warm interweaving tones
and digital rhythms, with a tinge of 80s nostalgia and retro-futurist
vision. im¹s sights are set firmly on the glossy sheen of the near
future, presenting inspired forays into choppy beats and sine wave melodies,
hinting at the syncopated structures of jazz, two step and drum &
bass. Alkaliner sifts through the pop charts and radiowaves, sampling,
processing and rearranging with no regard for copyright or volume restrictions.
His performances question the notion of the composer in the quick-fix
world of mp3 and manufactured pop. Precise excursions into sonic experimentation
are Helen Bac's forte - a schizophrenic journey from the hi-fidelity spatial
aesthetics of algorithmic, glitchy soundscapes to hip-hop and back again.
Orphan revisits the repetitive rhythms and discordant melodies of techno
and twists the form to create a machinic and organic atmosphere. Patten
performs an improvised set, using realtime DSP software, acoustic instruments
and various objects to create dense, shuffling, soundscapes, sources include;
portable record player, electric fan, drum machine, acoustic guitar, glockenspiel
and melodica. Grovesnor presents electronica beats that are friendly and
quirky, while his melodies are beautifully simple - how come someone hasn't
written these tunes already?
