Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Huge nautical album launch from your favourite free-form math punk / jazz not-rock hometown heroes, Repo Man. Bludgeoning the Grain Barge off its moorings with pure skronk noise dementia. Essential FFO: This Heat, Gnod, Pop Group, James Chance, LICE, Sex Swing, Scratch Acid."

A gig held at The Grain Barge on Friday 25th August. The event starts at 19:30.
We're throwing a party on the Grain Barge to celebrate the release of our latest album Me Pop Now.
Me Pop Now is the new Repo Man album, and represents their fourth long-playing excursion into the realms of the caustically weird.
Me Pop Now is the first Repo Man album to feature the rhythmical reverberations and string slingin' of Aron Ward (Olanza/ Harpoon) and drumsmith Simon Mawson (Action Beat). It was recorded at Giant Wafer studio in Wales with Wayne Adams (Bear Bites Horse) with steamin' interludes sweated out at Aron's over a crazed weekend.
Me Pop Now sonically slams through the sprechgesang dullard hordes like a wrecking ball. Punctuated by electronic spasms and a box-jacket aesthetic, this latest emissary from the jumbled brains of Bristol's bozo intellectuals will fire your synapses like a Ci and Jak poured deep n' long. The tracks come thick n' fast, time bomb ticking and finger clickin' for diverse attention spans, a platter loaded with meaty beaty juices for the dry age.
What is Me Pop Now? A continuum of descendants of the Ig? A comment on the self-fixated modern malaise/ discombobulation of individuality? A nifty film quotation? A trip into the commercially viable? all of the above and more?
Super excited to have Big Fuss Ensemble and Dolebury Warren Movement involved as well. Should be one hell of a night and not to be missed.
