The Blessing Vs Limbo

(Sat 10th / 8pm / £6)
Head on collision between two widescreen jazz/rock acts. Both completely distinct but stunningly different. A killer Bristol line up that manages to combine heavy bottom end with tunes and delicate touches, all sealed with stunning Technicolor burn out visuals. Expect a bespoke set from each band followed by a duel-pronged freak out at the end.
The Blessing feature the rhythm section from Portishead (Jim Barr, Clive Deamer, occasional Adrian Utley) and the horn section from heaven (Pete Judge, Jake McMurchie), something of a Bristol supergroup. Propelled by hard-edged bass riffs, swirling trumpet wigouts, electronic trickery and octopus drumming, they are an explosive post-jazz ensemble to rival Polar Bear or Triosk.
Limbo take a more rockin 70’s jazz fusion and fuse it with road movie rock atmospherics. Their sound is a breathtaking flight into new areas, mining a zone of uncertainty where freedom of expression is everything. Dream up Roy Budd arranging Tortoise with big Bitches Brew fuzz.
Scorching, open-ended and spontaneous. Two big hitters take over the Microplex.
