Friday, March 05 White Light & Rock Feedback presents DD/MM/YYYY, Islet, Mice 7.30pm adv £6.50, after 11pm £5, concs £3, w/email free
White Heat's sister indie club and lounge over two floors. White Light/Heaters and friends play music for dancing upstairs and anything from before 1984 for lounging downstairs!
Live: DD/MM/YYYY are an experimental indie band from Toronto, Canada. DMY possess a scattered map of influences from punk, hardcore, prog to synthed-up pop. Where some can fail to channel wide arrays of diversity effectively, the band succeed in making a hard-rocking and inventive blend of fast hook-filled progged punk-rock. Comparisons seem most clear to Q and Not U, Fugazi and Don Cabellero, or sceners down in LA's The Smell such as The Mai Shi here, but the band are certainly doing their best to push out in their own brave new direction. www.myspace.com/ddmmyyyy

ISLET - Islet are a band that in all possible ways evade description. This is primarily because the instrumental post-rock wig-out, Steve Reich drum-duo breakdown, rhythmic shouty noisy.....ness of this band is so far stretched, pulled and refracted that it would be nigh on impossible to figuratively stuff it into any generically labelled jar. And secondly because, well, they don't want me to try. This is a band whose recent rise to the public psyche has been catalysed by their efforts to stay quietly out of the spotlight. Fortunately, their live show is anything but quiet. Theatrical, ambitious, engaging and hypnotic, make sure to catch this fantastic new band in what promises to be a fine double header of future rock goodness. http://thisisislet.com/
