UPSILON ACRUX (USA)
Upsilon Acrux is an instrumental quintet now residing in Los Angeles, although originally the band is from San Diego County's hotbed for hair metal singers known as Vista, California. The music is not easy to describe but attempts to do so regard it as esoteric, mathematical, athletic, noisy and brutal. UA continue to develop their uncompromising sound and intense live shows which have included such acts as The Boredoms, The Ruins, Mission of Burma, the Locust, Don Caballero, Bad Dudes, the Fucking Champs, Dillinger Escape Plan, Anal Cunt, Devin Sarno and Nels Cline, Fred Frith and Chris Cutler, Cattle Decapitation, Black Heart Procession, Crime in Choir, Hella, Marnie Stern, Grand Ulena, Yowie, Flying Luttenbachers, Octis, Orthrelm, Time of Orchids, Ahleuchatistas, Experimental Dental School, Child Abuse, Open City, Polar Goldie Cats, Truman's Water and Mick Barr.
"Technically brilliant, rhythmically unbelievable, with just the right amount of melody" --Disagreement.net
"... [they] have the ability to make instrumental music interesting at any speed. It’s Upsilon Acrux’s songwriting that sets them apart, not flashy instrumentalism or fiery bombast" --Dusted Magazine
"...weird and playful and glowing, a much-needed antidote to the normally sober world of instrumental progressive rock" --Prefix Magazine and
XHOHX (Fr/Be)
XHOHX originates in two musicians’ will to get rid of their own musical education, fruit of a lobotomy cleverly orchestrated right from childhood. XHOHX conjures up its own universe in the spirit of the revolutionary, non-political and progressive impulse of No Wave and Rock In Opposition bands. For this first opus KARYOTYPEXPLOSION, XHOHX uses a virtual drummer in the person of a computer whose function essentially is to endlessly repeat the military pounding of the sound of jackboots on the pavement. It's a celebration of the eternal conflict man/machine where the organic matter tries to overcome the robotic beat from crushing bone factories and achieves its aim destroying the metronomic system with some "non-rhythmical beats". Voices are those of a contemporary regressing by a dizzy fall towards the early time to tear out the primal scream of a misshapen person from his archaic cerebellum...and he’s shouting : our captivity in this realm of the expectation is over !
Gone Bald
"The long awaited new material of Amsterdam's legendary ‘Gone Bald’ is on it's way! After almost 2 years break and with a brand new line up, Gone Bald’s 8 new songs are definitely the most promising so far.
Guitar player and singer, Razorblade jr. storms once more with a fresh new set of songs that captures the essence of powerful noise rock with addictive noble and melodic formula, together with sultan battery on explosive set of drums,,,this will blow you away!"
Over the years, Gone Bald has played hundreds of shows in Holland, Belgium. Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia. We've shared the stage with bands like Jesus Lizard, Butthole Surfers, Sebadoh, Ninewood, The Ex, Don Caballero, Flying Luttenbachers, Today Is The Day Chinese Stars........... Material has been released on labels like Kekere Aquarium (Croatia), 100% (NL), FBWL (Belgium), Interstellar Records (Austria) and Narrominded (NL).
