Music: Do It!

December 9, 2009

Friday 11 December | Cellar 35 | 8.30pm | £3

The Do It! crew have been putting on great little parties down at Cellar 35 for over a year now, and there’s no reason why this night with a distinct Norwegian flavour to it will be any different.

Said flavour comes, not from a taste of that weird sweet brown cheese they have over there (which is, quite frankly, minging) but rather in the shape of guests Put Your Hand Up For Neo-Tokyo, a duo who’ve been making waves in Bergen’s burgeoning scene of late.  Influences? Aphex Twin, Dimlite, Jeru the Damaja, Gary Numan and Devo. Not bad. Not bad at all. There’s a bit of early Madchester stuff in there too for good measure…

Glasgow deep house/disco don DJ Clinical (Cosmic Microwave) and Do It’s own funk/80′s selecter White Chocolate provide ample extra tuneage alongside all the extra visuals and artwork we’ve come to expect from this lot.  Getting down early gives you the chance to pick up a free exclusive mix from Bergen’s Nabovarsel collective too.  Done.  Forget the oil,  this is one Scando-Scottish exchange we heartily endorse.  Skål!

Friday 4 December | Cellar 35 | 8pm | £3

Something a bit different this Friday in the small but perfectly formed surroundings of Cellar 35…

Live music from Beats of Rage a ‘chiptune-fuelled digital hardcore attack using Gameboys, a Commodore 64, fuzz guitar and screaming’ and Gameboy musician Comptroller, who promises the thickest sounds you’ve ever heard from a loveable, small, grey plastic brick as well as turntable action from DJs Alun Elizium and Still Gay.

All local acts too. This sort of thing deserves to be supported. Go get your mind melted.

A whole day of live music spread across the city and all  for a very good cause indeed,  sounds a bit too good to be true? It’s not, read on…

Saturday 3 October | Cellar 35 | 8pm | £8/£6adv

Seattle duo Trespassers William have been around for a while (since 1997 in fact) and their brand of dreamy ambient folk-pop should be a perfect fit for the intimate surroundings of Cellar 35. read more
