Lineup and details for Teenagers In Tokyo on Thursday 11th March 2010
We're very excited about this show, TEENAGERS IN TOKYO
Sinister, crawling synths marry pulsing rhythms and screaming guitars.
TEENAGERSINTOKO draw together the most exciting subterranean music of the past thirty years.
In a short space of time TEENAGERSINTOKO have come from nothing to quickly rising as one of the bands to watch in 2010; selling out venues across the UK, bagging support from the likes of Zane Lowe and the NME; and most recently topping the Hype Machine chart with The Horrors remix of ‘Peter Pan’. Following the celebrated release of their self-titled EP in 2008 the band caught everyone’s attention, landing themselves international acclaim, support slots with CSS, The Slits & Gossip, a record deal with Backyard and a move to the other side of the world.
The result is debut album ‘Sacrifice’, recorded at Bryn Derwen studios deep in the welsh countryside with Faultline mainman and twice Mercury Prize nominated Bat For Lashes producer David Kosten and set for release in 2010.
Album references are immaculate: ‘Isabella’ recalls prime era Siouxie & The Banshees with a serrated electro punk edge; while ‘Long Walk Home’ is awash with Joy Division synth swatches. The relative light and optimism of ‘New Day’ is outweighed by the emotional calamity of ‘End It Tonight’, and new single ‘Peter Pan’, whips, lashes and sparks like a loose electric cable. The bass is tar thick, the drums edgy and jittering, the guitars sharp and slicing. And caught in the centre, singer Samantha Lim’s veneer of fragile innocence fractures and collapses to allow glimpses to the turmoil beneath. It’s a crooked shadow racing for the dancefloor with its knives drawn.
TEENAGERSINTOKYO are poised to take their place amongst the art-pop new wave; now sultry shimmerscapes like ‘3046’ and deviant dancefloor destroyers like ‘Talk To The Fire’ and ‘Peter Pan’ are set to draw back the curtain on a more opulent Big Picture.
Prepare to be dazzled, blackened,bewitched.
Support comes from two of the best acts to come out of Manchester for years, DIETER & THE GADABOUTS and RUN TOTO RUN.
Tickets are £6 advance
