what can i say... signed to Introscope in that shitty country over to the west of us, and about to explode over here in 3 days time when his debut single is released... i can not express the excitement currently circulating in minds of us dirty audio addicts right now...

gonna be a insane display of mashed up Hip Hop to fire through the Stignoise Sound System wall of speakers and just above the unsuspecting heads of the lucky fuckers that manage to squeeze into our end of year salute to Liverpool village for supporting our nights of weapons grade audio all year.... this particular Don is the product of equal amounts of time spent growing up in Bangor and rubbing shoulders with Dre in LA.. a pure weirdo lad with a quick tongue and a pretty decent view of this  rank planet. x

anyone in Liverpool who even has the slightest interest in anything other than the bastard Zutons should be well aware of this 10 armed illegal audio trading scheme currently sweeping the sonic saloons of this fair village, equal measures of enormously over the top vibrations and mad as a holding cell of fresh immigrant invaders, no doubt will be busting out a slight variation on the usual a.P.A.t.T experience by all donning each others lives and kicking the shit outta what anyone is expecting them to play.. with any luck. love them, or fuk off outta here....

BILGE

 PUMP

... are from Leeds.... i dont think ive eva been to leeds but i always use it as an example of a faceless and souless city centre example whenever i end up in a city i dont like the look of... i presume its got a high street with shops on, mibee a ( faux) hip little indie clothing store 20mins walk towards the student housing quarter... a couple of little bars that weird folks put on bands that only play 2 songs in 40mins, Ged's sister lives in Leeds, and we have no idea why.
 

Bilge Pump on the other hand are a supurb example of people not knowing what the fuk there talking about and making assumptions.. for example when they tell you what a band sounds like.. 2 years ago someone asked me to go see them @ a Defcon show, " what they sound like.." i asked.. ".. oh ermm... kinda funky..." i didnt go..

i fooking hate funk.. unless its played by black people over 3 decades ago... on a return visit to Defcon, and assurance from mr Tarpy that my cup of tea would be served warm, i discovered Bilge pump are not "kinda funky" they are infact entirely vicious as fuk guitar strangulations, pin point precision executed drums from a young man that manages to look both nothing and exactly like michael stipe, and a curious fella with similar taste in cheep sweat shop assembled pumps to myself, ranting and raving and mincing his words all over the room while pumping on a bass.... sound as a fucking pound, the person who told me they were ".. kinda funky " need not attend this show.x
a double bill of Nottingham's Gringo Records... which deserves a mention for its name alone.wurd.

MOSS CHOPS
an innocent and bearded soul, intent on mashing up the eardrums of his nearest and dearest for the good old fashioned reason that he simply needs too... one of Liverpools finest secrets in the world of plugging shit directly into a perfectly good sound system and making it go FJGKL;SDHKTMHMYUTROTRPTRKPHKRTPHKRTPKHRTKHT
