Preview : So So Modern @ Clwb : Thursday 28th August

The sound that So So Modern produce is one that I find very difficult, especially when their music tends to leave you with a ringing in your ears. I can only describe them as an electro-dance band due to their synth-heavy soundscapes and their progressive 128bpm - 148bpm drums. The band from New Zealand will be visiting Clwb for one night only before finishing their UK tour and heading back to Wellington. Their music is infectious and has a strange magnetism to draw you in even though most of their songs do lack a sterling rhythm and that all important melodic catchiness that adds all the charm to your stereotypical electro act. Perhaps their appeal is simply the anarchy they churn up in each song and the boldness they portray in their pursuit to break the mold. A band like this comes along once every so often and then flutter away unnoticed as if they were not even there. Avoid missing them and keep them there by supporting them on there UK tour. Its excellent aural therapy that cannot be missed or lost. Find out more at www.myspace.com/sosomodern
