Coming Up ..... Sunday 22nd June
Unclassified Noise_New Wave_Indie



Capsule present Melt Banana + Mirror! Mirror!

A Japanese noise rock band that was founded in 1992, A maelstrom of experimental heart surgery, Melt Banana walk on water, They effortlessly juggle all of those sharks that think they're swimming in new, unexplored territories. Here are the imported children of the no waves gone by, a hardcore-informed, audio info overload from Tokyo's ferocious underground. MELT-BANANA sweat out a super-adrenalized, maxi-caffeinated collision of frenzied drum rhythms and torturous guitar squeals through tiny, frantic, hyperrhythmic little songs. Frontwoman Yasuko O.'s ultra-high-pitched screeches and Agata's screaming slide guitar vie for supremacy across a rhythmic frenzy that is so ridiculous and precise, it will crush you with its brilliance. Here are the cerebral gnashing guitars, the aggravated pep squad proclamations and the neck-snapping rhythm change-ups irresistible to those seeking a new musical truth. MELT-BANANA doesn't sound like anything you've heard. Simply put, they are unclassifiable.

Mirror! Mirror! Are a rowdy bunch of lads from small town called Nuneaton, in Warwickshire.
After 4 years of DIY shows up and down the country the dance-tastic troupe have built a strong fan base, both with the underground crowd and people who just like to dance.
2008 is looking busier and busier for the M! M! boys with a cassette just out on Stop Scratching, a download / 7” single being released on 28th March through ondryland and Holy Roar Records. Touring the UK throughout April and the summer means they won’t be resting for long before they release their 5 track EP in the summer (CD and download also).
Fresh from stealing the show supporting Polysics at Islington Academy and a crowd-surfing set supporting the Mae Shi at the Sunflower Lounge M!M! are fast gaining a reputation as one of the best live bands around at the moment.
