Crushing Death & Grief

DANCER
DANCER are a crew of folks assembled in Glasgow who you might have encountered in bands like The Wharves, Current Affairs, Nightshift, Order of the Toad and Robert Sotelo. That’s a fine pedigree, endorsed by some of Britain’s finest DIY labels – we’re talking Tough Love, Gringo, Soft Power, and Upset The Rhythm! Armed with all that context, you’ll be unsurprised that Dancer come ready-fitted with taut energy, elastic riffs, and slanted sentiment. Only formed a couple of years back, they’ve already released a whole bunch of Dadist tales of nemeses, self-propelled flight and former Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty, pushed into your ears by a tightly tumbling and insistent collection of springy hooks and rolling rhythms. You want comparisons? Let’s say that from the top of Dancer hill you should be able spot Pavement, Trash Kit, Swell Maps, and Life Without Buildings on the horizon.

YOKE
Beware the YOKE mind virus. These horticulturally-minded, pop-chug fans of bakelite organs, group singing, and leisure buildings should be familiar to you by now, having turned up at a myriad of CB gigs, playing with Objections, The Unit Ama, Rachel Love, and, er, Cud. Not to be confused with all the other bands called Yoke currently knocking about.

JOE KENYON
We don’t know much about JOE KENYON, other than his bandcamp contains a bunch of tunes that make us reckon he’s been listening to a load of Elliot Smith, Alex G, Mt Eerie, and Kevin Ayers.

Sadly, both Model Village and The Plan have had to pull out of this one – hopefully they’ll be around some other time.
