COLOURING IN

So we had a seriously great time up in Birmingham last week. Look, even Benedict Cumberbatch seems to be enjoying himself:

Wicked venue. Great to catch up with CARTHAGE again. Scorn / Napalm Death legend Nick Bullen in the crowd, and great to see our friends from Leeds, Staffs and The Black Country!

Check out a review and some snaps from the gig:

"A grizzly baguette of barbed-wire oozing delicious Dubstep bass feeding off a Gary Gilmore’s Eyes riff... Sigur Rós verses the Chemical Brothers on Diazepam."

We managed to explore a few of these abandoned buildings (or 'songs' as they are also known as) at the gig: http://themekanoset.bandcamp.com/album/hand-in-hand #dark #electro #bass #beer #beats #idontknowwhattocallit #niceshoes

And how about the groovy shots that Belle took at the Camden gig:

What else have we got for you?

Our press / propaganda / disinformation grrrl now has an entertaining (if uninformative) twitter account: http://twitter.com/MekanoSetPress

There is also a page on our website with previews and a link to a 20 page newsletter filled with hi-fi pics, news and reviews: http://www.mekanoset.net/noiseletter.html

OK, time to kick back and not move about very much for a bit...

Every Sunday is like Kevin Spacey

We had a seriously good night at Sticky Mike's. Total funs. Nice sound system. A smooth and grimy set. Thanks to all involved and see you Saturday at the Cowley Steamy Punky SluTDisKo!

THE MEKANO SUMMER SET

So, it's been a while, what have you done to yourself? For the pasts couple of months we've been rehearsing, recording, mixing and remixing; all with a view to refining a sound and groove (noise) that we've become very excited by and happy with. We've also had a bit of time to just have some fun too. We figure we've earned that. So there.

Hard at work: Lee, Jutine, Milk

I've compiled a list of the most recent songs and mixes below. Oh yes. They aren't on CD, iTunes, Spotify etc. Most of them can be downloaded for free via Viinyl Singles, all you have to do is say what you think of the song on your twitter google+, facebook etc. page.

Justine and Nigel: a break from the breaks.

If you're feeling shy but generous, you can purchase high quality mp3's of all of the fresh noise goodies via the MekanoBandcamp. We get a real kick out of knowing that people are downloading these and we love to hear what you think of all our noises.

Yes. This actually happened.

We also have confirmed gigs coming up in Brighton and Birmingham (Hare and Hounds!), and are putting together a night in London in September with some like-minded bands including the wonderful Neurotic Mass Movement.
