£TBC!


Due to promote the release of their fifth full length album GONG LAKE, Neptune are returning to Europe for another blistering tour.
Neptune are three. Using a combination of Scrap steel electric guitars, hobo electronics, and trash drums. Originally starting as a sculpture project, they now collaborate with other musicians creating busted garage, and incorrect math. Having played with Arab on Radar, Lightning Bolt, Wolf Eyes, Erase Errata, The Ex. You know where they are coming from. The Avant Garde alt rock scene that swells these shores by way of our american cousins has never know such diverse and interesting acts. Neptune prove that by taking the creative process one step further and not just forming the music, but in fact the very intruments that create the noise, they are truly at the forefront of any scene that might or might not exist.
We can't fucking wait to see them drill our ears again.

Examples of Instruments created by Neptune.

We love this band like family members. Family members that perform amazing progressive slices of pop genius. Since their inception they have continued to make some of the most interesting and exciting music on this fair Isle. Possibly the best prog-post-mathcore-rock-stuff band we’ve ever put on. They have been seen supporting Biffy Clyro, Death Cab For Cutie, Mission Of Burma to name a few, and have toured extensively with 65daysofstatic ¡Forward, Russia! and Hope of the States. Recently they headlined to enthusiastic crowds at All Tomorrow's Parties Vs The Fans. They cite King Crimson, Steve Reich and Sonic Youth as cornerstone influences. They’ve performed improvised sets, including a memorable set with Saul Williams and provided sound-tracking of films at London’s ICA and the Cambridge Film Festival.

Adam Gnade (guh nah dee)
A sense of folk americana is at the forefront of this talented artist's life. Between writing prose novels and songs linked with a continous stream of conscious stories, vivid dreams, wishes, hopes, dead end small town American life, Adam performs intense sets of banjo led articulation.
He recently finished his next full-length album, Trailerparks, which will be released this winter by Try Harder Records. His experimental-Americana/noise-folk songs combine dense, spoken, idea/imagery-packed vocals with layers of banjo, minimalist drums, bells, and nontraditional/modified guitars.

Maths Class
The Youthmovies crew have requested local supports for all their dates on this tour. Having been hand picked by the Oxford boys is a great honour for any band. Maths Class are deserving of such an accolade.

The Gander - Bournemouth

We at ejectorseat are geeks. We love lists. And one list we constantly update is who our favourite ever bands are that played for us.
These guys sit easily in the top 3. And we doubt that will ever change. The only hard choice will be if this gig was better than the last.
We also can't wait to visit Bournemouth again. They've got some great faces there. And some awesome bands. Some of which will be playing this gig.

Tuesday 9th December
iLiKETRAiNS
Jeniferever
The Strange Death of Liberal England
Pete Lyons


£7
The Joiners Arms- Southampton

This gig has a better line up than I've seen at most festivals this year.

iLiKETRAiNS
If you were at the Joiners on Wednesday the 29th of June 2005, (for the release of "Before The Curtains Close") or on Thursday 4th of May 2006 (for Terra Nova warm-up), you would have seen iLiKETRAiNS play in for us.
Over 2 years later, we are putting them on again. Releasing "Elegies to Lesson Learnt" (Beggars) proved the predictions that they were certainly a band to follow. Now they plan to compile a DVD of visual treats.
With glacial coolness, their music builds and swells as well as any post-rock effort. History proving a rich tapestry for inspiration and lyrical influnce. Most damaged reputations are great subject matter.

Jeniferever
Hailing from Uppsala, these guys last played for us in Southampton for the All-dayer, with the amazing volcano!. They are touring again in order to promote the new album they are currently working on. And hopefully they'll have copies of the Nangijala EP with them. To hear these guys again in the best venue in Southampton is going to be magic. For fans of The Appleseed Cast and Sigur Rós.

The Strange Death of Liberal England
These guys also played for us ages ago. Once as a headline, and once in support for iLiKETRAiNS
"like God's own orchestra" - UNCUT
"Arriving fully formed with a grandiose atmosphere and a melody too concise for the genre's more pompous side, with iLiKETRAiNS, they're at the vanguard of taking post-rock into hearts as well as the brain. 8/10 John Earls

Pete Lyons has also played with iLT before, and with TSDOLE on the same date. This is kinda like a re-union, or a flash back to the past. Or just another awesome gig that we are putting on. A great raconteur, Peter oft fills song with a sorrowful tale sweeping up atmosphere and dragging me into dream (such as with My Favourite Time). But then be applies himself to another facet of the ambient genres, with his instrumental ideas. The incantation Lingwood is a perfect piece of organic sound layered with a computer's advantages.

Friendship

£tbc
29th @ Free Butt - Brighton
30th @ The Hobbit


Friendship
Wall of sound duo, sketchy and heroic, loud and rustic, busty and lusty. They hang around dirty alleys off Kingsland Road and play to lovemaking rats.
Currently recording new material which we are greatly looking forward to. Having already played with Tired Irie, these guys are not a million miles away from doing what Hella do. Hecktic drumming, and alto guitars, creating a fuzz of layered background onto which vocals are spread,
