VISCERAL ATTACK
Formed in 2006 and based in Co. Fermanagh, VISCERAL ATTACK has played with bands such as MUNICIPAL WASTE, UNLEASHED, GAMA BOMB, SSS and more. The band has played and toured all over Ireland, England and Scotland. The band's debut EP "V For Viscera"' was released in 2008, and their first full length album "Quick and Severe" was sort-of-released in 2010.

At the start of 2012 the band signed with Belfast label PUNKERAMEA RECORDS to release "Quick and Severe" officially at this gig.

THE BURNT REYNOLDS

Combining abrasive jagged guitars with powerful melodies this band makes a strong impact creating an extremely tight, melodic form of rock at times reminiscent of HELMET before briskly moving on to sounds capes normally reserved for ...AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD and RIVAL SCHOOLS.

Already hotly tipped by BBC's ACROSS THE LINE, 2012 will see THE BURNT REYNOLDS on the live circuit as much as possible. With new recordings now firmly under their belt the band is hungry to make its mark on the local music scene and beyond - this is a bad not to be ignored.

NO MATTER

NO MATTER is a Belfast based trio playing fast-paced pop punk which formed in late 2010 from the remains of THE LOBOTOMIES, NUMSKULL, LEAP FOR LENIN and THE DANGERFIELDS. The band's main inspirations are NOFX, ALKALINE TRIO, SCREECHING WEASEL and THE RAMONES. The band is striving to make itsmark having already headlined in London within 6 months of forming, with plans for as many gigs as possible.

"...playing a fun set of catchy tracks, usually based around some nice guitar riffs and Dan's chanting vocals...there's something almost GREEN DAY-esque about them. They also have a very good stage presence and manage to get the crowd laughing more than once" BBC Across The Line

RESET Records Launch 240311

From the Facebook Event page:

The Menagerie, 130 University Street, Belfast

In a bold move representing a modest, but significant, first step towards world domination, we, the RESET collective, are preparing to launch an independent record label, which after many hours of drug-fuelled debate, quasi-monastic soul-searching and scholarly deliberation we have decided to call... *drum roll*… R E S E T !

To mark this momentous occasion we’ll be throwing down the craic gauntlet this Saturday night at the Menagerie, with our first FEELGOOD SOUL-PARTY JAM of 2012. BOO-YA!!

To help us celebrate, we’ve invited Chester-based producer REAL - a prolific young talent with a colouful, exuberant production style – to deliver what promises to be an eminently danceable live set of skewed house and soulful garage.

Real Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/real

Brian Greene will also be busting out his considerable live soul chops once again, while Defcon and Kab Driver are apparently planning DJ sets filled with “balls to the wall” party tunes to satisfy the inner Patrick Swayze in all of you.

Expect BROKEN HOUSE, DIRTY FONK, and SPACE VIBEZ galore.

PLUS - Psych-tastic live visuals by the one and only B.E.W.

9.30pm - £5

Come one, come all!!


RST001

The inaugural RESET release is a 9-track mini-album of dub-inflected, cosmic hiphop excursions by DEFCON, entitled IN BINARY SHRINES. Exclusive advance copies will be available to purchase at the gig on Saturday in the form of a limited edition digipak CD, adorned with some propa natty psychedelic artwork:

dodgy stereo presents: Listen… AV advert

Unfortunately Saul Rayson will be unable to perform at this event.

Here's an AV advert:


Each artist will perform a solo set.
There will then be a number of collaborative sets.

Femminielli - Atlantida

Taken from WFMU. Interesting textures. I've achieved some similar (crumier) feedback and colorization effects using a CCTV camera, VEC processors and a Panasonic mixer.

Making - Fuzz, Amp, Timer, Bleep

Bazz Fuss (x2)


LM386 Amp (x2)
Two little amps. In addition to a power switch and jack output, the second version had a different large value capacitor - the schematic had a 220uF - I used a 470uF which resulted in fuzzier sound and an exciting and unpredictable octave drop



555 Timer


Bleep Box
A new experiment with the way the box was constructed, this circuit has battery starve which can produce all sorts of interesting wheezes.

Various Artists - A Gentle Introduction, Mixed by Renick Bell

Various Artists - A Gentle Introduction, Mixed by Renick Bell is a 'sampler' of the type of music you'll find at the3rd2nd. Renick wrote: "
Sometimes I want to introduce people in a general way to what we are doing at the3rd2nd.com. I have never been able to comfortably say “listen to this one thing we put out, and then you will understand what we are about.” Jason and I talked about doing some mixes of the material on the site, and I think that is just what we have needed to demonstrate in a broad way where we have been. This mix is intended to be the beginning of a series of mixes presenting panoramas of the music here.

This mix remains not-quite-representative of our releases. I've deliberately chosen some of the sweeter, kinder tracks, though the audience might not find it exactly sweet or kind. Still, these tracks show all of us experimenting and improvising with electronic music in our studios with sounds which are, relative to other noises we make, gentle. Drones, glitches, noise, lots of instruments, and long hours with microphones and in front of computers are condensed into 64 minutes of what I think may be, for some, our more approachable side.

All of the tracks, with the exception of “Seed Study 05”, can be found in their original form on this site. The mix includes tracks from a majority of the releases on this site. Please download them as well to see how they fit into their respective releases.

This is a studio mix done in Ardour on a Linux computer, not a live one, but I've mostly avoided messing with the contents of the tracks themselves. I tried to mix and layer them in a way that I felt would take a listener on a journey which builds to some intensity and moves into a wide open space. It feels to me that we are concerned with transformations, so I wanted to let one track transform into the next one smoothly and naturally.

It also became clear to me when doing this mix that we are largely into making numbered sequences, right down to the name of our site. As our collective name implies changing the sequence, I hope this resequenced mix of some of our releases will serve as a gentle introduction, inviting listeners into the other works on this site.

I think it's quite pretty sounding. There are some very loud moments and some very quiet moments.
