Preview : The Death Set / Die! Die! Die! / Lt.Meat : Clwb Ifor Bach : 09.04.08

Clwb Ifor Bach & The Joy Collective have come together to bring you one fuck-off insane gig.

THE DEATH SET
…DIY skuzzy, fuzzy lo-fi new wave analogue drum-box driven pop that comes over like a few more welcoming Bis. High Speed boingo boingo pop art tantrums and lots of attitude that they know they’re easily good enough to get away with. Aggressively sweet, like sucking delicious boiled sweets and expecting the bits of glass. - Organ Magazine

…i thought i ’d put you all up on the best live band in town, The Death Set. They’re a two-piece raging punk band with a drum machine and samples, and i’ll be damned if they don’t blow away 95% of the more high-fidelity acts i’ve seen this year, in either rock or dance music. – Mad Decent

DIE! DIE! DIE!
Hailing all the way from Auckland, Die! Die! Die! are visiting our fair region as part of their extensive tour schedule. The noisy power trio has already blazed across the States and will be moving onto Australia and back home to New Zealand after their stint in the UK. Following their well-received debut long-player 's/t' which was produced by the ubiquitous Steve Albini no less, the band have just released their second full length album 'Promises, Promises' on SAF records. Produced by NZ alt-pop luminary Shayne Carter (of Flying Nun fame). This new record sees short, sharp shit-kicking songs have slighty softened, and the hooks now tug rather than yank. "Sideways Here We Come" offers post-punk at its 21st-century finest: Half Mclusky, half Warsaw-era Joy Division, it crams splinters of rhythm into dark, gorgeous choruses and acidic shout-alongs. The venom is still there, and it's just as potent, but it tastes a little sweeter this time around --The AV Club (9/10)

LT.MEAT
Surf/Punk orientated weirdo rock, the eqivalent of reading your favourite book backwards, in another language and in the dark.
