Fri 6th Late In The Evening presents MORTON VALENCE - 'Chandelier' Single Launch Party + Stained Glass Heroes + Anchorsong
Doors 7.30 Late in the Evening present a welcome return for headliners Morton Valence upon the launch of their new single 'Chandelier'. The quartet are taking as off-kilter an approach to record releases as they are to making music, with a collective approach to ownership and 'shares' in the album selling fast. Their angular electropop sound is as difficult to categorise as the component band members themselves, leading Metro to dub them "the most interesting and intriguing band on these shores" and the Times to deem them "irresistably infectious". Alongside them will be the ever-entertaining Stained Glass Heroes, who have been through a few interesting record ideas themselves having seen their last single released with 500 different covers designed by 500 different artists. Ambitious? You bet. Easing their way back into the live arena with John & Jehn over the coming months following a recording break, expect Gang of Four style edginess with a more krautrock twist. Also joining us will be the excellent Anchorsong. A hugely innovative solo project of Masaaki Yoshida from Tokyo, he builds up tracks live from scratch using an Akai sampler and KORG Triton. His unique style has made him something of a phenomenon, with YouTube videos of his live work garnering over 80,000 hits. Not to be missed.. Following the bands, DJs will take the night through to conclusion in the early hours. |
