That’s right, this Friday the DIG djs and special guest ISLET will be performing in the brand spanking new Cardiff Arts Institute. I was there for the opening and am now well excited about playing through the splendid new soundsystem, oh yes!
One bit of bad news however, our first night has been somewhat marred by mini disasters along the way, I guess that’ll be booking a night on Friday the 13th, that’ll teach us! Anyhoo, Andy Votel unfortunately has had to pull out due to unforseen circumstances. This however IS NOT a cancelleation, merely a postpone, we’re sorting out his next date as we speak, so yes, a little disappointing but only for a short while. Our sincere apologies and Andy sends his along also.
But….
being the upstanding gent that he is, DR Kiko (Primavera sound) has stepped in last minute, a stalwart of the international festival circuit and a curator at the legendary Primavera Festival in Barcelona, Dr Kiko basically knows his onions and will be supplying us with various post punk and no wave pearls to compliment our most exciting live act, that being…..
ISLET!!!
Cardiff group formed from the ashes of several bands that are far greater than the sum of their parts, which is saying a lot as members of Victorian English Gentlemans club, Attack And Defend and Frederick Stanley Star are among their ranks. Relatively new to the Cardiff scene, ISLET have rapidly garnered a great deal of attention and accolades. That’ll probably be because they are SUPER! Double drums, hollering, screaming organs, fuzz guitars all come together in a glorious no wave racket. Their live shows are intense and audience participation is often on the cards. ISLET will perform at about 11pm with Dr Kiko and DIG! djs in support either side until late.
