EYES come from Chicago and make glorious music for dancing that straddles the vibes of Ariel Pink and HEALTH. The type of band people might lie about having seen first time round once they make the cover of Plan B. You know, if they felt so inclined.

Skitanja, in spite of what the poster says, are actually from Bournemouth. They make scrappy, electronic bleep party pop music with guitar.

Shiu-Yeung Hui is the Chinese member of Japanese group Maher Shalal Hash Baz. He drinks quite a lot of neat vodka then takes to the stage to perform his wonderful, fractured, miniature songs using guitar and keyboard. An exercise in patience, an audience with Shiu pays off massively.

Elapse O are a death disco unit from Oxford. Imagine swimming the butterfly through a load of broken Swans LPs. That's what they sound like. Dig.

SPECTRE FOLK (Pete Nolan of Magik Markers) + JON COLLIN + NEIL BURRELL

It's extremely appropriate that Magik Markers' drummer Pete Nolan is currently in the country to play with Jandek in London (which is how this gig came about, coincidentally).
Because his solo Folk Spectre record on the Woodist label demonstrates a penetrating knowledge of what makes that great Texan loner so amazing. Lo-Fi in the early 90s Shrimper label sense (yes!), the record contains a clutch of fragile, skeletal songs that inspire a depth of relaxation self-help tape manufacturers could only dream of. Of course, we're not talking 'swimming with dolphins' here. It's the constant hum - of tape hiss, mellow feedback, room boom, whatever - that sits beneath these beautiful songs that gives them their dreamlike quality. The name has been switched around to Spectre Folk but the vibrations are the same.
The Folk Spectre record is something truly special and we anticipate this show to be one of the most enthralling of our 2008 calendar.

Here's what Pete's Magik Markers partner Elisa Ambrogio had to say about it all:

"Here drum-dilweed extraordinaire Pete Nolan takes on new dimensions of low-fidelity radness through the Woodsist imprint. The infamous label in charge of releasing other super-jammers such as Axolotl, Loosers and Blues Control, Woodsist put this mother out in the o 7. So many good songs, I don’t know where to start; it’s like Gene Clark in a manhole with Von LMO in Bushwick. This is another artist criminally unappreciated for his solo work, most probably due to his surly manner. Just ‘cause the man don’t hold doors for people doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to build castle bridges of strangeness into the void. LISTEN.

goFASTER>>

Like fellow Liverpudlians Hot Club De Paris...with bouncy, choppy riffs and a very much danceable rhythm, synths swirl like a demented fairground ride while the boys perform fantastic, sing along harmonies. MAKE NOISE AND DANCE

Elks

Jerky post hardcore pop complete with rousing manic vocals. a bitn like Fugazi and Charlottefield FOOTBALL

Rotary Ten

Latest signings to Xtra Mile (home of Dartz!)
"'If The Smiths had gone to college in the US this might have been their sound. Complex, melodic guitar entwines with an 'anthemic' chorus. Possible classic.' The Observer

Beat The Radar

"catchy vocal melodies with precise backing vocals on top of angst guitar and clever drums create a package for success" SANDMAN MAGAZINE

Napoleon IIIrd will now be playing this Friday April 4th at Cafe Saki instead of Itch.

Therefore the full line up is now

Napoleon IIIrd

"Napoleon IIIrd is possibly the most visionary solo artist on the planet at this moment in time....the most striking aspect of Napoleon IIIrd’s set is the huge propensity of sound one single man can make. Shut your eyes for a second and you’d expect the stage to be filled by some 12-piece orchestra." Drowned in Sound

with Arms At Last, The Search Map and My Amiga.

FRIDAY 4th April at Cafe Saki

Itch

"Itch are quite breathtakingly, pant-twitchingly awesome. Songs stop, start, fall over themselves, kick themselves up the arse, explode into cataclysmic bursts of energybefore suddenly veering off into seemingly irreconcilable tangents that seamlessyly reconcile themselves within the space of a few minutes"

Arms At Last

"Arms At Last sound like what would happen if Dartz! and Hot Club De Paris had an affair." FuckingDance. blogspot. com

The Search Map

’Glitch ridden intelli pop of the highest order - like TV On The Radio playing Modest Mouse at their tenderest’ - Subba-Cultcha

My Amiga

Plenty of harmonies, hand claps and guitar taps make for another band to add to the list of super fun bands being produced in Liverpool at the moment.
