- FALLOPE AND THE TUBES -
///
Fallop and The Tubes is Sarah Messenger, Ruby Pester, Nadia Rossi, Rachel Walker and Catherine Weir. The band are a group of Glasgow based artists who work collaboratively to devise live performances as Fallop and The Tubes. Each live show features their lovingly hand crafted yet somewhat tasteless visuals, shameless zero-budget costumes, sculpture and visual props.
'Reviews of their live shows, which incorporate electric guitar and double bass with sampled beats and atmospheric soundscapes, are nothing but favourable. They offer something truly different; a captivating live experience instead of feeling as though you are merely watching someone clicking a series of buttons behind a laptop screen'
Thool is a reclusive partnership, a production pairing ready to let the music do the talking. Blessed with vivid colour, their output thus far has an 80s streak - think proto-house, vintage electro and synth pop, wrapped up into one glitzy mixture.
They mash the mundane and the mystic. Creating a semi-escapist landscape, stemming from our own hyperreality to the anxiety-evoking photographs we see of old school friends living perfect lifestyles on tropical islands in places far, far away.
Chuman, Electronic/Punk/Funk, is a Bristol based musician. His music combines rudimentary electronic sounds, notably with the use of a Bontempi drum-machine, with warm funk guitar riffs. He delivers his honesty charged lyrics in a dry and unmistakably Mancunian way.
