LONDON TRIAL & ERROR @ HOXTON SQUARE BAR & KITCHEN
WEDNESDAY 17TH MAY, 2006  8pm - 1am

"The voodoo soundtrack created by the drummers is terrifying but exhilarating. This percussion force is crucial, blasting the band off from dance music. The other key component is the brass section, whose enormous stabs of melody ensure that no matter how weird the Allstars get - and they certainly get weird - they are always orbiting around a killer tune. Everyone from avant jazzheads to techno kids should love them." (The Guardian on Toolshed www.tool-shed.co.uk [sic]) "Very loud guitars infused with mind-altering melody, with nods to Black Dice, Broadcast and Mogwai." (Flavourpill on Lions and Tigers)

"Oh yeah...did we mention we had Graham Massey's TOOLSHED down for a rare as hens teeth London gig down at the Hoxton Bar & Kitchen. Taking Sun-Ra as a starting point...I mean they literally started by covering Sun-Ra!...they proceeded over the next hour to whip the crowd into a wildly appreciative frenzy. I don't know if I ever saw Simon Lord and Findlay Brown more psyched. The air was buzzing. "FUKIN AMAZIN'....FUKIN A-MAZIN!" "

Graham Massey`s Toolshed Collective at the Sallis Benney Theatre, Grand Parade, Brighton.

We`ll print the flier again :- "Massey, the musical mind behind 808state (techno innovators and international stadium rockers / remixers / producers from Bjork to Quincy Jones) brings Manchester`s Toolshed Collective on a rare outing to Brigthon. The Toolshed club night is described in Dave Haslam`s current best seller "Manchester England" as "one of the defining club nights of the late 90s" and has been running at various venues in Manchester for two years. A unique feature of the "Toolshed Allstars" is that they take a cavalier attitude to coming up with something new for each performance. They often change it`s character between double-necked heavy metal free form mush to lush amient symphonies to techno versions of Duke Ellington and Morricone. centred on Masseys techno arsenal, the band features up to 3 drummers, the distinctive vocals of Sea Ming Too, the world famous jazz violin of Graham Clark and bassist Paddy Steer. On the same day, free of charge there will be a related selection of music from the University of Brighton and other colleged in the region 4-8pm" This will be at 8:30pm, will be 5/4/2 quid and the info hotline is 01273 643010.
