Ed Schrader's Music Beat
When: October 29, 2012
A product of the same Wham City collective in Baltimore that spawned Dan Deacon, Ed Schrader puts on a similarly singular show. Utilising nothing but a floor tom and a pair of howling lungs, and with Devlin Rice adding some righteous bass alongside him, Ed Schrader's Music Beat is like nothing you've ever heard before in rock and roll. Or everything you've heard before in rock and roll, condensed into its purest point. Take a look at the video to get an idea of what we mean…
G R E A T W A V E S @ Sebright Arms
We previously featured capslock 'n' space bar botherers G R E A T W A V E S when they blew Alt-J off the stage in Sheffield earlier this summer, proving that when it comes to waves, 'great' beats 'awesome' hands down. Now London-dwellers have the chance to see what the fuss is about too as Now Wave and SelfBlown present the duo's debut gig in the capital, which should see The Sebright Arms blasted to bits with atmospheric whooping, cascading keyboards and uncompromising walls of sound. Submerge yourself.
