Friday 27th January
Farmers Arms
Lancaster
8pm to 1am
£4 (£3.50 AMS members)

THE RESISTANCE

The Resistance use a mixture of electronic bass and percussion, samples, analogue noise and electric, creating anything from heavy, pulsing walls of sound to sparkling melodies of guitars and electronics. It’s described as a mixture of brutality, religion and dance beats.

Influences include The Velvet Underground, Throbbing Gristle, The Future Sound of London, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Neu! and Autechre.

They are just as interested in film and design and gigs are always accompanied by their own video/lightshow. A Resistance gig is a shock of light and noise, quite unlike anything else.

THE BOX SET

The Box Set are a Casio-core orgasmopop duo based in Sheffield. They are Richey "The Killer" Khrushchev from Russia and Jacky Knife.

The Box Set concern themselves with mixing together pop music, casio/yamaha keyboards from 1981-95 and sexually explicit lyrics. They tout themselves as "Ladytron on love eggs after a shopping spree in Argos and Poundland".

As well as performing as The Box Set, Khrushchev and Knife are also involved in curating events, DJ-ing, remixing, filming and designing for all their various activities.

ASHA

Asha is well known and well-respected in Lancaster’s dance scene, running the very successful ‘Solar’ nights in the city with his compatriot Coderro. Theye recently held a sell-out NYE party at The Farmers Arms.

Asha will be performing a live dance PA set with laptop and hardware samplers - an intelligent mix of dark, rolling prog house, psych trance and techno with a few quirky bits thrown in.

He will also be providing the post-gig DJ set.

Yeah... just pay on the door - we can't afford to get tickets printed!

Thanks for the positive response Ma7y - I don't want to just feel like I'm spamming this forum! As long as people are interested in the nights we're putting on I'll keep putting the odd advert up :smile:

Anyway, this should be an ace gig... and probably quite a packed one as Solar have been going 6 years and have quite a reputation around these parts (though mainly with the scary town folk rather than the students!).
