HOOD + THE NAYSAYER
A Qu junktion
(Thurs 24th / 8pm / £6)

One of England's finest unsung, DOMINO supported, melancholically gifted groups returns, after influencing the US underground. Kindred spirits of Bristol bands like Third Eye Foundation, Cresent and Flying Saucer Attack they have released a bewildering array of material since the mid nineties. Exploring surface noise and bedroom DIY dynamics well before bands like Pavement and Guided By Voices became well known, their productions have assimilated a very English neo-folk sensibility with the sounds of urban electronix music and ANTICON atmospherics, in the process positioning them in a unique point in modern UK sound-song-craft. THE NAYSAYER are modern gals (feat. members of Retsin, Tara Jane O'Neil) playing rainy day harmonic Country with a tear on their cheek, on their way to All Tomorrow's Parties by request of the great SLINT: check www.thenaysayer.com
With CRESCENT DJs in the bar.
