“If this is the arena rock of the future, send me a ticket.” — Pitchfork
“A triumphant, heavily riffed, primarily instrumental epic, whiplashing through six minutes of smiling prog jams, and as many tempos as passages, before settling into one last minute of uplifting chants.” — Stereogum

Tuesday, August 24 SPECIAL GUESTS + Still Corners The Like + Still Corners
The Like are our secret guests. We didn't tell anyone (though we did
drop a bit of a hint in the last mailout) but somehow Timeout managed
to put this little description together while recommending the show:
"California's
most well-connected girl gang return with a slightly re-jigged line-up.
Having released their debut album when they were teenagers back in '05,
the quartet return with their Mark Ronson-produced follow-up 'Release
Me' (out at the end of the month) which sees them take a more '60s handclap-pop
route as on their sprightly single 'Not A Boy'. Sassy, smart pop. Jangly
guitar, organ riffs and clattery, echo-y drums from SC." http://www.timeout.com/london/music/event/197354/the-like-still-corners
Tuesday, August 17 White Heat & Rockfeedback present: Gold Panda + Max Tundra + Dam Mantle Live Birthday Party Part III
Tuesday 17th August
White Heat & Rockfeedback Present: Gold Panda
Max Tundra
Dam Mantle
Just to quote the Rockfeedback event page for this one, because they
write nice:
Our bros White Heat are turning 7 years old this summer and to celebrate
we're joining them in throwing a party curated by the marvellous Gold
Panda, featuring three beacons of UK electronica.
GOLD PANDA
Gold Panda consists of Essex boy Derwin, a producer who has also remixed
tracks by the likes of Bloc Party, Health, Simian Mobile Disco and many
more, all of which have been gained much acclaim by critics, blogs and
music lovers akin. His music is championed as being an organic breed
of electronic that’s not quite dance or flash-in-the-pan enough
to only be heard on dance floors, although live is where it takes on
it's need for large speakers and full attention, whilst making heads
nod and shoes move. Derwin’s adoration of all things Japanese
have also heavily influenced his hazy and surprisingly emotional sounding
songs released on You EP from earlier this year. A perfect soundtrack
to these long summer days. http://www.myspace.com/goldpanda
MAX TUNDRA
Ben Jacobs, or Max Tundra as he is more commonly known, is a British
musician who mixes electronic noises with a whole host of other instruments
and styles to create some pretty special songs. Having released material
since 1998, Max Tundra has a substantial discography under his belt,
released on Domino Records. Over time Tundra has become something of
a cult figure, amassing fans a-plenty through his adventures around
the globe. He recently announced on his Twitter account in June that
his next album, Parallax Error Beheads You, may well be his last. He
plays here as a special guest of Gold Panda's. http://www.myspace.com/maxtundra
DAM MANTLE
Known to his family and friends as Tom Marshall - Dam Mantle is a fresh
young innovator from Glasgow making progressive electronic sounds to
make you cry, move erratically or smile a mile wide. Live he's joined
by another and has recently wrapped up a tour with fellow new music
compatriot Gold Panda. Mantle’s glitchy “poems” seem
to want to bridge the gap between the usual alienation of electronic
music and the mainstream pop music of yore – y’know, when
pop songs actually MEANT something.(Line Of Best Fit). Dam Mantle, seems
to embrace an amiably all-over-the-map compositional style, EP cut "Rebong"
is an exceptionally groovy slice of glitch-hop, with a harp sample not
unlike something Flying Lotus would use. (Pitchfork) http://www.myspace.com/dammantle
Tuesday, August 10 Fools Gold + Tinashe Live Fools Gold
Tinashe
We had Fools Gold play back in January. It was one of those shows where
you stare at the stage with a great big grin and then you dance and
then you wander out remembering how music is pretty amazing sometimes,
isn't it? "Fool's
Gold is sort of like a musical Benneton Ad. Drawing influences from
all over the globe, including (but not limited to) Ethiopian soul, Cuban
conga, and Brazilian funk, Fool’s Gold isn’t your pony-tailed
step-dad’s world music (no didgeridoos here), nor is it your typical
sampling and remixing (not that we’re mad at that, Diplo). The
point is this isn’t cultural appropriation; it is musical appreciation.
The twelve members of this band are not African, but they are diverse
and talented, amongst them a Ghana-trained percussion leader (Orpheo
McCord), an Argentine pop star (Erica Garcia) and members of several
other lauded LA bands (including Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros,
Foreign Born, and We Are Scientists). Fool’s Gold is ultimately
fusion music, but in this case, (unlike with mango salsa) that’s
not such a bad thing." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/yasi-salek/nine-la-bands-to-watch_b_515100.html#s75606
Tuesday, August 03 Age of Consent (Ex Shitdisco) + Paper Crows We're turning seven this Tuesday so, in time honoured tradition, we'[re
going to be having a party. It's a special one this year because White
Heat started exactly seven years ago on the 3rd August 2003. To celebrate
we've got some old friends in a new band & some regulars in a new
band. Most of what we do here is put on new bands and play new music
so it seems fitting for part I of the birthday party to put on debut
shows by two new bands!
Tuesday 3rd August Age of Consent (Ex Shitdisco)
Paper Crows "Age of Consent was formed by Joe Reeves & Darren Cullen
in the summer of 2009, recording demos with producer, Luke Smith in
Italy. Their music is dark yet melancholic electro-pop about escape,
freedom, and reinvention. Influences are drawn from events in their
own lives, as well as the music of Berlin-Era David Bowie, Vince Clarke
& the films of John Carpenter."
- http://freakdeluxe.co.uk/age-of-consent/ http://www.myspace.com/ageofconsent
Paper Crows are two music students who're making a kind of minimalist
electro that'd stand well on a bill next to the likes of Fever Ray or
Telepathe... http://www.myspace.com/papercrows
