LIARS, KAITO and MARTINI HENRY RIFLES @ ULU Thursday March 16th.
The New York trio LIARS make a return visit to London after their sold out Luminaire show to promote their eagerly awaited new album 'Drum's Not Dead' with a live set that takes in post-punk, avant noise and bizarre pop sensibilities; a cocktail of menace and artful brilliant chaos often compared to the likes of Sonic Youth. Their sound is immense, sometimes frightening; far chillier than fellow New Yorkers The Rapture and infinitely spookier than ARE Weapons with its gut-churning bass riffs, raw powerful drums and vocals that are sometimes screamed but also have the edge of Tom Waits...
"Like the Rollins Band if Henry had been bought up by Vegan computer programmers or The Strokes after about fifteen kilos of Mescaline this is intense, claustrophobic and half-built by robots". XFM
KAITO a two girl / two boy timebomb from norwich play their jittery, edgy and distorted punk-funk packed with searing guitars and scratchy, chaotic rhythms with singer Niki Colt strutting and stuttering her way through the glorious chaos, its like Justine from Elastica fronting an early line up of The Fall...
"Any band that can harness pop delights of the whole Top 40, ravage it with the discord of a dozen Fall albums and still come out on top is one to cherish." NME
MARTINI HENRY RIFLES play an adrenaline fuelled set of blazing guitars, rocking drums and dirty riffs.
