FANG ISLAND
+ support

@ The Cluny 2, Byker
Monday September 6th

Fang Island is an incredibly explosive, heavily caffeinated, monster. One likely to seize, besiege, and overpower your senses in a pink/purple spray of Diesel ( does anyone still drink that?) vomit strewn with chunks of riffs, soloing and vocal harmony…yawned straight from the party mouth of Andrew WK.

This is what happiness sounds like!

Now for some quotes:

“l like some crazy jam session between Fairport Convention and Faith No More, or between the Incredible String Band and Deep Purple as conducted by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, only played by people dressed as human-sized furry cartoon animals because it seemed like a fun idea”
The Guardian

“Fang Island are simply Killer Fun”
Mojo 4/5

“A Joyous, jangling, low fidelity mess of riffs and shout a long choruses”
Vice 8/10

“This music is just honest and life-affirming and infectious, and it’s that rare concentration of directness and simplicity that makes Fang Island so uniquely and wonderfully inclusive”
Pitchfork 8.3/10.

The band have a perpetual smile on their face, a sun shiny, achingly positive mix of Trans Am, The Fucking Champs, Don Caballero and Boston’
Rock Sound

This event is also a launch party for ‘Quicken The Heart Remixed’ an album of remixes of Maximo Park tracks by North East artists which is available free with NARC. magazine in July. For more info visit: http://www.generator.org.uk/maximopark

Alongside a headline DJ set from Maximo Park we continue our tradition of bringing you three of the best acts the North East has to offer. As usual the event is completely free of charge.

Featuring…

MAXIMO PARK DJ SET

One of the North East’s finest acts, Maximo Park have released three full-length albums, toured all over the world and are returning to Paul Smith’s native Teesside for our SPEAR:LIVE event.

THE CHAPMAN FAMILY

The Chapman Family merge intensity with chaos and aim to provide a distortion fuelled antidote in a musical climate big on apathy and lacking in integrity.

MAMMAL CLUB

Mammal Club are free of the idea of guilty pleasures or ironic posturing, solely aiming to make complex music sound simple in pursuit of melody.

JIMMY & THE SOUNDS

Teessiders Jimmy & the Sounds play heartfelt indie rock, like the Gaslight Anthem but with a distinctly North East twist – definitely ones to watch.

Today’s electronic dance culture is witnessing a change in direction. From the typical house and techno sounds that have been hammering away at the scene, dance floors have started to buckle and fresh sounds are emerging. At the forefront of this renaissance are Belgium-based band Aeroplane. They strive to avoid the constraints of predictability by weaving currents of psychedelic guitars, pop keys, disco beats, catchy bass lines and melancholic waves into modern beat-driven music. Aeroplane are Stephen Fasano and Vito Deluca, a duo whose combined experience gives life and emotion to the music.

With stellar remixes for Robbie Williams, Friendly Fires, Sebastien Tellier and Grace Jones amongst others, an eagerly awaited debut album in the works and a packed upcoming festival diary including Coachella and Glastonbury this date marks a rare intimate gig for Aeroplane.
