STRANDED IN STEREO PRESENTS THE RUMBLE
Wednesday, January 28th
Fontana's
105 Eldridge Street, New York NY / (212) 334 - 6740
(B or D to Grand St; F, J, M, Z to Delancey)
Show 9pm / $5
Featuring Depreciation Guild, Cymbals Eat Guitars, & Black Diamond Bay (ex- The Dears)
THE DEPRECIATION GUILD (www.myspace.com/thedepreciationguild)
With prominent aspects of guitar-led shoegaze being fused together with the likes of infectious synth-rock and spacey pop, The Depreciation Guild's influences are impressive in the form of being chronologically diverse. Their synth use is somewhat reminiscent of power-punkers Ozma, incorporating Nintendo-esque 16-bit synth lines with an array of resounding guitars, most of which can lend its shoegaze influences to a heavy amount of reverb being featured beside a variety of guitar pedals and effects. To be honest, The Depreciation Guild present one of the most singularly distinctive styles I have heard all year. You can download their new album In Her Gentle for free by clicking on the yellow strip on their web site http://www.inhergentlejaws.com/ (Obscuresound.com).
CYMBALS EAT GUITARS (www.myspace.com/cymbalseatguitars)
As a phrase, “cymbals eat guitars” gives off the idea that man and the kit
he sits behind finally wins in the ultimate battle of man and recessive
instrument versus man and dominant instrument. As the name of a band,
Cymbals Eat Guitars gives off the idea that the band is to be as ferocious
as the name dictates. This much is true: lead singer Joe Ferocious is not
named that because he is tame. And like his last name, ferocity plays an
integral piece of the CEG manifesto, dictated on to tape and put together in
the form of expressionist art called Why There Are Mountains, their debut
album.
BLACK DIAMOND BAY (www.myspace.com/blackdiamondbay)
It started as a Patrick Krief solo project while he was still in The Dears. Now a full-fledged band hailing from Montreal, Quebec, Black Diamond Bay are bringing back guitar rock but with their own unique additions. They combine an ominous sounding organ with tribal-like toms banging in the background that hits your body. Or other times, like in the Beatlesque "Blue Mace" they create an epic blend of haunting strings, melodic bass lines, and wailing guitars so beautifully that you want it to go on forever. Black Diamond Bay is a diverse band that can go from a slow-paced emotional plea to a hard rock dance number instantly. They are a must see live act.
Future Sounds and Stranded in Stereo have a deep love and respect for the indie
music community. Having produced successful events and promoted emerging
indie artists, their collaboration promises to continue a tradition of supporting
independent music, while at the same time providing locals with a place to party.
Through the reach of an online music publication, indie rock internet radio station,
indie retailers and online social networking sites, our connection to the music
community is broad.
