Spaceheads and Blacakat

Manchester music scene innovators Spaceheads are back after last years sold out gig at the Carlton Club . Spaceheads are pioneering a live electronic looping sound that is beat driven with fragmented melodic bursts and disjointed, cut up samples.
Their signature sound of electric trumpet loops from Andy Diagram ( James, Pere Ubu, Pale Fountains and beyond) collide with the skipping Funky beats of Richard Harrisons drums.

The almost psychic connection that Diagram and Harrison have built up between them over 40 years of playing together allows them to change their sound and take it into an entirely new direction, seemingly at a whim

An American Record Company, Absolutely Kosher, has just released a Spaceheads retrospective of 27 tracks taken from CD releases in the 1990s, and available as a three vinyl box set .... silver vinyl, that is hot off the press and fingers crossed will be available to buy on the night.

Andy Diagram has just returned from a 5 week tour of USA and Canada with the band "James" and his bandmate DBP also plays tonight with his electronic dance outfit, Blacakat.

Blacakat are a two headed rhythm machine from North Wales. DBP plays electronic drums and percussion, and Speedy plays synths,  filters, sequencers and FX. Blacakat evolved from jam sessions and as an experiment in
what could be done live in an arena which typically isn't . Mixing genres and pulling from multiple styles to create what has become their own genre, always trying to evolve, never the same twice live, the aim will always be to get people on.their feet and finding something in there that they can connect to.

Rucksack Cinema is a multi projection video light show created live using archive film footage and digital glitches ..... creating a true immersive experience
