USA 1982: We Stood Like Kings Plays Koyaanisqatsi

On sale! USA 1982: We Stood Like Kings plays Koyaanisqatsi Monday 28 May as part of Brighton Fringe. The Brussels-based post-rock band We Stood Like Kings announces the release of a new film music project entitled USA 1982, intended as an alternative soundtrack for the American cult movie Koyaanisqatsi directed by Godfrey Reggio. After BERLIN 1927 and USSR 1926, this third opus USA 1982 the bands most ambitious project to this day, a musical reinterpretation of a movie world-famous for its original score by Philip Glass embodies the musical maturity of the band which, since 2012, has devoted itself to the accompaniment of masterworks of silent cinema. In 2017, despite celebrating its thirty fifth birthday, Koyaanisqatsi remains profoundly modern. The relationship between humanity, nature and technology illustrated by Godfrey Reggio, Ron Fricke and co. in the movie finds itself at the heart of the challenges of todays society. At the crossroads between Frdric Chopin, Pink Floyd and Explosions in the Sky, We Stood Like Kings plays instrumental progressive rock tinted with neoclassical influences thanks to the central presence of the piano. This will be the band\'s first venture to the UK, having played more than 200 shows in over 15 countries, since they formed in 2011. +SUPPORT --------- MONDAY 28TH MAY DOORS: 7:30PM --------- UNRESERVED SEATING // 14+ (UNDER 16s TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT) // THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN KOMEDIA MAIN SPACE

Shanti Celeste's Peach Party #2 With Call Super & Peach

After eight memorable \'Curated by\' dates with Bradley Zero and Avalon Emerson this year, in 2018 we hand the reins to Shanti Celeste and Mr Bongo, who\'ll be curating four and two events respectively. Shanti\'s \'Curated by\' series will see us blur the boundaries between techno, house, reggae, soul and disco, creating a welcoming rave environment for all. Named \'Peach Party\', the four parties will see her take inspiration from her very own \'Peach Discs\' label, inviting artists, friends and Brighton selectors to curate the sound and vibe on each date. From tweaks to the lighting to collaborating with local creatives, record shop in-store sessions to DJ/production workshops, we\'ll be taking the series in and out of the club context on each occasion. After a memorable launch to the residency with Hodge, Ciel and Mehtola, for her second date she invites Call Super, Peach & Momo. Call Super is the primary moniker of Joseph Richmond Seaton, a DJ and musician from London who has, over the last two years, quietly carved out his own place in the landscape of electronic music. Defined by a meticulous approach to the composition, production, art direction and presentation of his work, every release encapsulates Joseph\'s idiosyncratic vision. It is a colourful world that gives life to the shadows and throws a mist over the boundaries that have become so commonplace in electronic music. Making a Patterns debut we have Peach, hailing from Toronto, Serena is most frequently found on the internet radio waves and playing with your favourite DJs. Having recently concluded her regular show \'Snacktime\' on Radar Radio which has hosted the likes of Person of Interest, CCL and Bwana. Peach has moved onto a monthly slot at NTS showcasing her sublime selection of electronic music, has a forthcoming release on Midland\'s new label Intergraded and has recently played alongside the likes of Jackmaster, Jon Hopkins, Pangaea and the Discwoman crew. To round off the line-up we invite up and coming local selector, Discojuice resident and Electrogirls member, Momo.
