FLOAT RECORDS presents DEERHOOF / MY AMBULANCE IS ON FIRE / STEVE REICH’S PENDULUM MUSIC
Friday 20 August / The Cube Microplex
5 pounds / 8pm

A kaleidoscopic mutant of faux-naïve nursery rhymes, turbulent riffage and gonzo surrealism, San Francisco’s DEERHOOF (Kill Rock Stars/5 Rue Christine) are one of the most fascinating and vital bands around. Few bands since Sonic Youth have been more adept at fusing art and pop sensibilities. Flitting between wide-eyed childishness and blistering prog infused rock they simply can’t be pigeonholed yet somehow meld the profound, the beautiful and the downright silly into a fascinating and oddly accessible whole. Don’t miss! Also tonight, enter the chaotic and shifting world of MY AMBULANCE IS ON FIRE, the electro-acoustic project of Geisha frontman Anton Maiof, who is sure to seduce and repel in equal measure.
Plus a special reinterpretation of STEVE REICH'S PENDULUM MUSIC from Bugbrand (technological wing of the Knowledge of Bugs empire) incorporating swinging torches and hand built light sensitive theramins.
