WEDNESDAY 10th FEBRUARY
MAIN HALL: 40 WATT CLUB PRESENTS:
THE BRUTE CHORUS + LORD AUCH + THE WILD WOLVES + DEEDS OF THE NAMELESS
7:30PM - 11:00PM
Having sprung from the green green grass of far a-field, these days THE BRUTE CHORUS are more likely to be soaking up the sounds of Whitechapel's East London Mosque than the gentle birdsong of the countryside.
Their influences stem from folk explosions, blues and indie, while, crooners at heart, their choice of cover version would be Tony Bennett's Stranger in Paradise. A tonic, perhaps, from the fire and energy the band can't seem to help but produce in their own music.
With the unabated drive of the white stripes The Brute Chorus are conduits of pure folk energy. Singer James produces vocals as intimate as a whisper, set against the tick of the cymbal, the pulse of the bass. At the other end of the spectrum, meanwhile, he is able to flip effortlessly into climaxes both raw and unrestrained." BBC.CO.UK
LORD AUCH Taking more than just their name from the pseudonym of metaphysical-absurdist French essayist Georges Bataille, they also took some time to revel in the degradation and cultivate a healthy appreciation for some good sadism. From there, the duo added three members to flesh out their macabre sound, including ex-Courtney Love guitarist Liam W., who no doubt has some experience with dark, dingy scenes which inspired their debut EP
THE WILD WOLVES
DEEDS OF THE NAMELESS hail from North London are fast establishing themselves in the live circuit - playing over 50 shows in 2008 and gaining a dedicated fan base on the way. They describe themselves as Nirvana meets The Beatles alongside The Beach Boys at a battle of the bands singing Simon and Garfunkel and Queen tracks& Half the Deeds have already tasted chart success with their former band Serum - who garnered huge critical acclaim from the likes of Steve Lamaq, GLR, XFM, Virgin and Radio 1.
