Rammel Club #41Tues 29th Nov Deas and Denton Duo + Sounding + Birchall Cheetham Duo

RAMMEL CLUB resents...

► CAM DEAS AND ADAM DENTON DUO

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Deas

Cam Deas was last seen at The Rammel Club playing intricate acoustic guitar pieces. This time round he has joined with Adam Denton in praise of electricity and it's going to be a whole lot louder. Mind mushing guitar minimalism that may well bring to mind Rhys Chatham, Glenn Branca or even LaMonte Young when they get their drone on.

► SOUNDING

Ben Moon's Forest Creature previously pummelled us with psychedelic rave similar to Fuck Buttons and Black Dice. This is Moon's solo project and it may well be a slightly more chilled affair.

► BIRCHALL CHEETHAM DUO

http://soundcloud.com/birchallcheethamduo

Speaking of Chatham these two met whilst playing in his G3 ensemble and continued playing in a mission to create some fucked up drum and guitar music. Full pelt skronk that can stop on a dime and curl right back again.

Rammel Club #40 ::: Tuesday 15 November 2011VOMIR (f), IRON FIST OF THE SUN, NOW WASH YOUR HANDS and SAFE

 RAMMEL CLUB resents...

VOMIR (France)
http://vomirhnw.blogspot.com/
The harsh noise wall of France’s Vomir is a physical experience that will vibrate your eye balls loose of their sockets. His static slabs of sound take on an oddly meditative air in a live situation. Ambient all the way to 11.

IRON FIST OF THE SUN
http://www.myspace.com/ironfistofthesun
Grim power electronics from Birmingham that totalled the audience at last year’s Family Battle Snake gig. Stick your head in the speakers. Split LP with Burial Hex out now on Cold Spring Records.

NOW WASH YOUR HANDS
http://www.myspace.com/washyourhandsnow
Relevant hygiene information is married to barbarous sound. Unpleasant yet sanitary.

SAFE
Mysterious duo with malignant intentions.

LUDO MICH (Kingdom of Belgium)
http://ludomich.blogspot.com/
http://www.myspace.com/ludomich
Belgian sound and performance artist Ludo Mich has a demented history dating all the way back to the ‘60s Fluxus movement and he’s still griddling brain pans today. He’s collaborated with Burial Hex, Blood Stereo and a whole heap of other freaks of late. Fresh from Brighton’s infamous Colour out of Space festival he’s hitting Nottingham to make your Monday an infinitely more rewarding experience.
 
HYPNOTIQUE
http://www.myspace.com/misshypnotique
http://hypnotique.net/
Extra-terrestrial theremin sounds from Nottingham, with a new single released on a wax cylinder. Stick that in your obscurity pipe and puzzle over it.

FLAT SOUFFLEE
http://flatsoufflee.blogspot.com/
Flat Soufflée are (wo)mankind's only hope since Lou Reed recorded that album with Metallica. These 4 creativionists stitch art and pop together like there was no Velvet Underground.

Rammel Club 38 -- Weds Oct 5th Ruins Alone (jp) + Crash Night + Rattle

RUINS ALONE (Japan)

of RUINS, ZENI GEVA, ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE...

http://www.skingraftrecords.com/bandhtmlpages/ruinspg.html

Japan’s Ruins played a crazed blend of punk rock and Magma obsessed prog rock, so insanely fast and technical that prolonged exposure could cause nosebleeds amongst listeners. Since the loss of their fourth bassist, drummer Yoshida Tatsuya is carrying on as RUINS alone and his one man show is a sight to behold as he tears his drum kit apart with convoluted rhythms, barking out operatic Zeuhl hymns and triggering samples as he goes.

If you’re even remotely interested in the crazed Japanese psychedelic rock scene that spawned Acid Mothers Temple then get down to the front ‘cos this is a rare opportunity to see a guy who’s played with them all, Zeni Geva, Koenjihyakkei, High Rise, Mainliner, John Zorn….the list goes on. And if you love the sounds of Magma, Goblin and King Crimson then consider yourself summoned!

CRASH NIGHT

Crushing sludge duo from Brum. Mixing Crossed Out style power violence with screeching drone and guitar mangling.

RATTLE

The drumbos from two of Nottingham’s finest units, Kogumaza and Fists, have joined forces to bring you a new sizzling experiment in sound.

Rammel Club Fringe Event ::::: Wednesday 6th April Wed 27 AprilDANIEL HIGGS & RAM GABAY + ROSIE ROJO

*** update 26th April 7.45pm : SOLD OUT ***
This event is now SOLD OUT: all advanced tickets are gone and
unfortunately limited capacity means we can't get more people in.

ENDORSED BY RAMMEL CLUB...
When we heard that the legendary Daniel Higgs was playing a handful of dates in Europe the debate started - do we go to London? Glasgow? Prague? Then it hit us - Lets Do the Show Right Here! So in the interests of keeping our carbon footprint low, a United Nations of music lovers from Rammel Club, Damn You!, Clique Clack and Kneel, Sir have joined forces to bring him to Nottingham. We are all really beside ourselves with excitement about this one - come along and find out why.



DANIEL HIGGS (us)
http://www.myspace.com/danielaiuhiggs
http://www.thrilljockey.com/artists/?id=10236

What can we say about Daniel Higgs? The ex-Lungfish legend and his banjo returns to the UK after his jaw-dropping 2-disc release on Thrill Jockey last year, Say God - a record that is spare, spacious and quite possibly his most transcendental record to date.
After 11 albums (10 for the esteemed Dischord), Lungfish seemed to grind to a halt in 2005 following the release of Feral Hymns. Simultaneously, Higgs' solo activities took off, leading to his series of hypnotising outsider excursions for Holy Mountain, Thrill Jockey and others.
Higgs is renowned as a hypnotising and charismatic live presence with a ferociously ardent following. If you haven't caught the Higgs bug yet, get yourself to one of these rare and sporadic shows and feel it all fall into place.
Daniel Higgs will be backed by Ram Gabay on drums.

ROSIE ROJO
http://www.reverbnation.com/rosierojo
http://www.myspace.com/rosierojo
http://www.youtube.com/rosiejabbott

Rosie Rojo is a Nottingham-based singer-songwriter who famously recorded 90 songs in 90 days. That she brought such grand arrangements and experimentalism to the process makes this an act of 8-track DIY heroism and we look forward to seeing how she translates them live.

Rammel club #37 ::::: Wednesday 6th April Eli Kezler + Simon Burd + Modulator ESP

Eli Kezler
A jaw dropping drummer that can make his kit (with the aid of some handy crotales) sound like the eerie creaking hull of a sunken ship before launching into bursts of scary intensity and insane feats of percussive WTF. The fact that his latest LP has been released on the legendary New York label ESP Disk whose roster includes Albert Ayler, Sun Ra and The Fugz should give you an idea of how amazing this chap is.
http://www.myspace.com/elikeszler







Simon Burd
Lo-fi hissing ambience from one half of the Burd/Scarr duo (I’ll let you guess which half). If you’ve ever been a fan of Disintegration Loops or Discreet Music then pull up a chair.

Modulator ESP
The Modulator makes landfall with tales of the outer realms. These will be decrypted via the medium of a cosmic synth barrage. Adjust your antennae accordingly.

Rammel Club #36 ::: Vampire Blues + Akke Phallus Duo + Silt- Weds 16th March

► VAMPIRE BLUES (Sheffield)
Ear wax on http://soundcloud.com/rammel-club/sets/vampire-blues-taster-tracks/
http://soundcloud.com/vampire-blues
Loose bracken spindle and warm heady bloodrush for electric guitar and harmonium. Featuring members of SERFS, WHOLE VOYALD and THE HUNTER GRACCHUS. Long-gone cassettes on Blackest Rainbow Records and Winebox Press. Like an unearthed cassette revealing a long-lost half-cut jam between Sonny Sharrock and CC Hennix.

► AKKE PHALLUS DUO (Sheffield)
http://soundcloud.com/akke-phallus-duo
Long overdue duo collaboration between Jon Marshall of THE HUNTER GRACCHUS, the SINGING KNIVES record label and Ben Morris of CHORA. Postally sharing raw voice, poached acousmatic sound & brut instrumental ingredients, disdainful of Eno's fourth world confluence of privilege, they navigate modes of avant-experimentation open to the freedom & potential of this new duo dynamic. Wheezing & stuttering non-musics through broken mics and burst bellowed reeds, they integrate the spectres of position, loss, resistance and the fruits of free-hybridity from the comfort of the first world.

► SILT
http://www.petemcpartlan.co.uk/
Found sound manipulation and coarse electronic textures combined with ease by Nottingham-based artist Pete McPartlan...

Rammel Club #35 -- Tuesday 08 MarchJOOKLO DUO (it) + TIMOTHY C HOLEHOUSE + CHRIS BALDWIN

[ ...last-minute update... Chris Summerlin can't play this gig and will be replaced by CHRIS BALDWIN ]

JOOKLO DUO (it)
This mysterious sax and drums duo have been sneaking out platters of explosive psychedelia and black hole free jazz on the Qbico label since 2004. Get ready to be pummelled into a happy mush by their free form barrage. Listen to 2 tracks here
http://www.jooklo.tk/

TIMOTHY C HOLEHOUSE
Taking time out from the life of an itinerant songwriter Timothy (and keyboard player) arrive at The Rammel Club offering to 'weird us out'with strange murmurings and sonic interruptions.

Rammel Club 34 – Wednesday 16 FebruaryOUR LOVE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD (nz) + APALUSA + NACHT UND NEBEL

OUR LOVE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD (NZ)
Our love…is the latest extravagantly monikered project from New Zealand’s Campbell Kneale who, over the years, has investigated psychedelic drones and amplifier splintering riffs in Birchville Cat Motel and Black Boned Angel respectively. His latest escapade is no less intense, no less ecstatic and may result in you getting hurled into the kind of multi-coloured fourth dimension that enlivened Captain Kirk’s otherwise mundane travails through space.
http://www.myspace.com/ourlovewilldestroytheworld

APALUSA
Secretive drone/ambient project from a Souvaris member with previous releases on the Low Point label. A recent meeting with the shadowy mastermind behind Apalusa resulted only in the cryptic insinuation that ‘harmonicas may be involved’.
http://www.myspace.com/apalusa

NACHT UND NEBEL
We can only hope that Rammel Club attendees appreciate the effort that it takes to summon the nameless, gibbering entity that is Nacht und Nebel to these physical realms. We judge his cello mangled cacophony to be of supreme worth and can only hope that the psychic damage we sustain is fleeting.
