NB – New Venue - This gig has been moved from Edinburgh (Gig) to Glasgow (ABC2)
65 Days of Static return to Glasgow as part of a UK tour in February, playing at the ABC2 to coincide with the release of their single, Radio Protector, taken from the album One For All Time (Monotreme Records). The album was described by Drowned In Sound as “the most vital, enthralling and unrelenting record of 2005 – 9/10”
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. 2004 album '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
Alongside 65 Days of Static is Warp Records man Chris Clark bursting onto the scene with debut release Clarence Park. After spells in Europe and the US, the E.P “Ceramics is the Bomb” was released and stints on XFM and Radio one followed. Latest Release, the full length album “Empty The Bones of You” is out now.
"A dazzling mix of Nintendo soul, warped acid and fragile neo-classical electronica... joyful, twisted, forward-thinking... this is essential" … 8/10 NME
