OIB Present - A bleak Christmas weekender with LIGHTNING BOLT and OM !!!

Returning almost 12 months after their insane and completely sold-out OIB Records show at the Engine Room LIGHTNING BOLT are back for another brutal assault, this time at Audio on Friday December 11th. My ears have only just stopped ringing since last time!

 

And if that it's not enough noise to carry you through these dark and cold winter nights how's about a Sunday night of the most downbeat gut-rumbling stoner doom on the planet courtesy of OM (featuring Al Cisneros of doom originators SLEEP)! THIS IS THEIR ONLY UK HEADLINE SHOW !!!

 

It's gonna be a dark, dark Christmas…

 

PARRRRRTTYYYY TIIMMEEZZZZZZZZZ

LIGHTNING BOLT (Load Records)

Last we left this amplified tribe of two was 2005's Hypermagic Mountain, Lightning Bolt were tossing thousands of years worth of musical history into a wood chipper and coming up with some chewy chainsaw taffy. Their new missive, 'Earthly Delights' (Load Records) comes after two years of intensive electro shock therapy driven recording. The doors of Lightning Bolt's practice space literally spill forth giga-liters of sweat born of echo stretched dedication to archaeology of understanding advanced musicology. Taking the lessons of extreme metal and blood-brother marrying them to expansive and explosive song form and applying it to Olympic training methods - 'Earthly Delights' uses electric stimulus to shock smile technology to worldwide domes. This is what two thousands years of evolution and the invention of electric instrumentation introduced in the tank of hook force can do to you. Fidelity and attention to tune smithery are total, so please, dear listener place your alabaster hand in mine and embark on a musical journey that will take you to places both divine and sublime. 'Earthly Delights' has the sound of a ten piece band with a much tighter pay scale, matched with the sonics of military cartoons, it's truly the sound of the air show ablaze with the joy of a ground-bound fighter powerless to eject.

PSEUDO NIPPON (OIB Records)

The myth surrounding Pseudo Nippon is vast and murky but what we do know is that he's a placeless electro wizz-kid that makes mad-capped Japanese inspired electro-pop from whatever house or shed he happens to be 'house-sitting' that week. Musically Pseudo Nippon sounds like a bastard hybrid of the Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares and Gay Against You if they all grew up on a strict diet of lucky charms and Manga, or as Pseudo Nippon himself describes it "pop with pochinko and little beat make yes, eating in colourful!".

One Inch Badge presents:

 

OM (Drag City / Southern Lord)

Born out of the ashes of legendary stoner doom originators Sleep in 2003 by Al Cisneros and Chris Hakius, OM are a psych-space-stoner-doom band from San Francisco. Drawing from their previous projects OM use cyclical rhythm, riff and vocal intonation, as they blend metal, chant, drone, dub and psychedelia into intricate yet drawn up druggish jams that you quickly get sucked into never to return. The current OM line-up comprised Al Cisneros and Emil Amos and has seen the band release their most accomplished and acclaimed work to date 'God is Good' on Drag City.

SLOATH (Riot Season)
