HEXAGEN

Start: 10.00 pm (be there on time!).

On Saturday 6 April, BANG BANG & heXaGEN are proud to join their forces to welcome two incredible British bands, WHAT THE BLOOD REVEALED & LOST IN THE RIOTS, plus the amazing local band INDUSTROIKA. More information below! Please share this event, because it’s gonna be freaky awesome! :-)

WHAT THE BLOOD REVEALED (post-hardcore-rock from Scotland): here is their bio: “We came together in 2004 and have created a sound influenced by such giants of the leftfield as Isis, Neurosis and Mogwai. We find our inspiration in science, and the truths it reveals.
We have released two well received EPs which have found their way to friends in 5 continents and have recently recorded an album with Ross McGowan (United Fruit, Danananackroyd) which was mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago (Om, Grails, Young Widows). The album “Harbour of Devils” is out now! on Field Records.
We’ve also shared stages with great bands like Kylesa, This Will Destroy You, Maybeshewill, Crippled Black Phoenix, Storm of Light and many more.”

Sounds like : PELICAN, RED SPAROWES and MOGWAI partying loudly all together!

LOST IN THE RIOTS (intense and melodic post-rock from UK) : LITR are a four-piece post rock outfit fighting their way out of Watford, UK since 2010. Taking a different approach to the town’s hardcore roots, the quartet serve up an energetic, guitar-driven mammoth of quiet-loud dynamics.

Sounds like: THIS WILL DESTROY YOU raped by AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR with a love story at the end.

INDUSTROIKA (PsyKraut Cinoisematic trio from Brussels) : Three humans, three computers, one keyboard, one bass, one guitar, many pedals, more pedals, heavy beats, loops, noises, samples, dings and dongs, crackles, shake it, drink it.

REIZIGER (BE)

http://www.wearereiziger.com/
http://reiziger.bandcamp.com/

We could rant about their history hailing from the early 90’s post hardcore band Kosjer D., or recently Confuse The Cat & Bronze. Their stories across Europe or about their jobs in the social sector and their deal with Stickman Records … but no … let’s try to focus on their impact on the listener by means of a couple of statements.
Reiziger touches your emotion. Easily switching from subdued melancholy to youthful enthusiasm, from restrained contemplation to razor-sharp paroxysms of anger, shifting from feather-light poptunes to a massive dead swing sound but nonetheless always keeping their specific touch. Reiziger is a band. No exasperating individualism, no freaky soloing, the whole is much more than the sum of 4 individuals. Reiziger is beyond a band. Managing to combine escapism with harsh realism! Reiziger is Reiziger. Unique in sound, unique in word, unique in style.
New album “Kodiak Station” out on 4th February 2013 on Birch&Broom Records/PIAS
New single “Bended Trees” out now.

22.15 : ENEMIES (IE)

http://enemiesmusic.bandcamp.com/
http://enemiesmusic.tumblr.com/

Enemies formed in the summer of 2007 in the village of Kilcoole, County Wicklow, Ireland which has been a epicentre for DIY independent music in Ireland over the last few years with bands like Adebisi Shank, Kidd Blunt and Heathers first forging their sound in the area.
In Spring 2008, encouraged by that burgeoning local scene, Enemies released their debut EP « Alpha Waves » which led to two Japanese labels Machu Picchu Industries and Stiff Slack picking up the band for releases. A two-week tour of Japan followed in which they played sold-out shows in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Kyoto.
Back closer to home, the band played gigs in the UK and Ireland on bills with bands like And So I Watch You From Afar, Bats, Not Squares, Marvins Revolt and Blaksfish. The quartet followed their debut EP with a free double-A side single.
In June 2010, Enemies released their debut LP. Released by Richter Collective in the UK & Ireland and Stiff Slack in Japan, ‘We’ve Been Talking’ features pressings of the band’s own unique take on instrumental rock, one which is nuanced yet clear cut, melodic yet ferocious and energetic yet emotive.

21.15 : MNEMOTECHNIC (FR)

http://www.mnemotechnic.fr/
http://mnemotechnic.bandcamp.com/

Fall 2008: Four musicians from Brest, France leave their ongoing math-rock and noise projects aside to form Mnemotechnic. They decided to keep the impertinence, the noisy distortions and the straight-to-the-point approach of their previous experiences, whilst also making space for a more danceable approach. Raunchy guitars, mad bass and groovy rhythms, it’s all about tension, trance and partying. Their first album will (finally) be released in February 2013!

20.15 : CROUPIER (IE)

http://croupier.bandcamp.com/album/croupier
http://elevenelevenlabel.bandcamp.com/album/croupier

Croupier’ are a five-piece from Co. Wicklow incorporating broad influences, from Talk Talk to The Redneck Manifesto to Liars, into a collaborative musical effort that defies basic categorisation. This is energetic, melodic, purposeful music that refuses to exist within a vacuum.
Consisting of Charlie Mooney (guitar and vocals), Harry Burton (keyboard, piano and vocals), Niall O’Kelly (drums), Oisín Murphy (vocals and guitar) and Rob Reid (bass), Croupier are five friends with differing musical backgrounds, foregrounds and convictions, who have come together in shared purpose: to make music which speaks of themselves and, hopefully, speaks to some.

Qu’on se le dise, HeXaGen débutera l’année 2013 en fanfare avec sa toute première soirée à connotation hip-hop. Au menu, ZUCCHINI DRIVE, le Canadien Rob Crooks et un DJ set de notre SPEED DIAL 7 national. Même si l’excellentissime PIP SKID ne pourra se joindre à la fête, la soirée vaudra le détour!

HeXaGEN & Kuistax very proudly present: “No Food but Lots of Weapons Tour”, with ZUCCHINI DRIVE, ROB CROOKS & SPEED DIAL 7, aka “MARATHON OF DOPE” style!

Timetable (horaires encore indicatifs):

19h00 : Ouverture des portes !

19h30-20h15: SPEED DIAL 7 (BE, explosive alternative hip hop): Speed Dial 7 is Tom De Geeter’s one-man band. You may know De Geeter as one half of Zucchini Drive (2nd Rec/Hue/Marathon of Dope), one third of Cavemen Speak (Shadowanimals/Subversiv/Hue), one fourth of Nuccini (2nd Rec), and one fifth of Gunporn (Shadowanimals/Subversiv). You do the math. Originally from Kortrijk, Belgium, De Geeter has evolved from hardcore-kid to alternative rap teenager, to mental-patient adult and beyond. His sound has been influenced by world travels with Zucchini Drive, and by learning the ways of the sword. A meltingpot of inspiration always provides a surprise in the folds of Speed Dial 7. De Geeter puts his vocals on whatever he thinks will work, from sample-based foundations, to original melodies, to the guitar hooks of Mich Decruyenaere (from the legendary Hitch, Be), to the drumming of Pieter Blancke (from postrock-outfit Salvador, Be). You can expect to hear a mix of sixties psychedelic rock (Moving Sidewalks, Jimi Hendrix), folk (Stephen Stills, Manassas), and pioneers of the 80s (Afrika Bambaataa) in De Geeter’s next release. But it’s better not try expect anything in the Speed Dial 7 universe.
Ca fait des années qu’à heXaGEN on écoute SD7, on est donc super heureux de l’accueillir pour notre premier concert de 2013!

20h30-21h15 : ROB CROOKS (CA, electro lo-fi punk-rap) : Rob Crooks joue de la Dr Sample 303 couplée à 2 claviers tout en assurant le chant. Du génie! Pour sa première venue en Europe, il s’intègre parfaitement à ce plateau qui préconise le live à la programmation sur ordinateur. C’est destroy, hip-hop, punk, et même si le lascar est (plus ou moins) inconnu ici, son savant mélange bute tout, croyez-nous… !

21h30-22h15 : ZUCCHINI DRIVE (SW/BE, hip-hop rock): S’appuyant sur de nombreuses influences, notamment le rock progressif, le rock garage, et le hip hop, Zucchini Drive est en mesure d’apporter un renouveau à chaque nouvelle sortie. Composé entre Londres et la Belgique, leur dernier album, « No Food But Lots of Weapons » est entièrement auto-produit. Entre hip-hop, electronica et ambient, il représente une nouvelle facette du talent incroyable que possède les Zucchini Drive! Et sur scène, c’est juste une TUERIE totale, encore une fois, ne ratez pas cette opportunité, foi d’heXaGEN !
