BILLY MAHONIE / GYRATORY SYSTEM / KOGUMAZA
GYRATORY SYSTEM
Formed from the ashes of the critically acclaimed One More Grain, Gyratory System are a horn-led live electronics instrumental group. Seemingly rooted in the post-punk of the likes of PiL and leftfield disco / dance of the same period, GS take from the past and push wildly into the future, probably on a spaceship marked "new frontiers". Now signed to the ever-excellent Angular Recording Corporation, GS are a fantastically original and convention-shattering band, and it's live where they really come into their own. www.myspace.com/gyratorysystem
KOGUAMAZA
Kogumaza is the new project of Chris Summerlin, known for his work with other bands like Lords, Reynolds and Wolves! The trio encapsulte everything from quiet melodic post-rock instrumentals to heavier stoner-rock freakouts and glitchy experimintalism. www.myspace.com/oogamaza

BILLY MAHONIE
Billy Mahonie were and are a very important band to the Rockfeedback and Transgressive team – and to the likes of Foals and Bloc Party too. As such we were delighted to hear that after a lengthy break they were releasing a new LP, and have managed to convinced them to congregate from their now disparate homes of Norway and London to play a special album launch show for us. An incredibly powerful and intense live band who mix a Kraut-y, dance-based instrumental side with occasionally folk and heavy rock features, they released their hugely influential early albums on Southern and Too Pure records, and this will be their fifth record.
