65 Days of Static’s October tour stops off at the Barfly Glasgow this Wednesday, 19th October. JOining them on tour are Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies, and local band El Dog complete the bill.

Formed in Sheffield in 2000 65 Days of Static have dragged post-rock kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Electronic music has always been tentative in its absorption of live instruments. Similar rock music has been similarly conservative or unsuccessful in expanding into an electronic field.

65 Days of Static are among the first to convincingly fuse and balance intelligent dance music with the most leftfield of avant-guitar music. Their current long player 'The Fall of Math' (Monotreme) is one of the few records that could genuinely be described as a successfully adventurous crossover bearing equal resemblance to the glitch noodlings of Aphex Twin and the expansive and schizophrenic landscapes of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

With much of the national media united in its praise as well as play on MTV and Radio 1 this could be the last chance to witness 65DOS's stunning live show in such intimate surroundings.

"Go home, take your play safe indie-punk records and burn them. 65 Days of Static have their heads in 2007 and everyone else is thirty years behind…Magnificent." - Simon Smerdon, Playlouder.

Joining 65 Days of Static are Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies - “Situated midway between yourcodenameis:milo and Mogwai, YMSS are clever, original - and sadistically unpredictable.” – Kerrang. Despite producing some challenging and fairly oblique sounds this hasn't affected YMSS' success. Thankfully neither has success diluted their unapologetically avant-garde sounds.

The press also seems to share YMSS' futurist vision. 'Freezing Scene' was made single of the week in Kerrang! And their astounding 'Hurrah! Another Year…' (Fierce Panda) sold out so quickly that it received a much enlarged repressing earlier this year.
