The Beat Happening Sessions

Following recent packed shows featuring Pete & the Pirates, Selfish C**t and Billy Childish, The Beat Happening Sessions unleash yet another stellar line up.

The event format is simple but effective:
1. The writers of beathappening.co.uk interview a super-cool band on stage.
2. The band plays some songs.
3. The interview is published at beathappening.co.uk, Beat Happening magazine’s blog.

Comprised of Etienne Jaumet and Cosmic Neman, Zombie Zombie utilise live drums and an array of vintage synthesisers to create a knee-trembling, bone-chilling fusion of krautrock and italo-disco, paying homage to the creepy soundscapes of John Carpenter’s 80’s horror movies. Last year’s debut LP release, ‘A Land for Renegades’ was met with critical acclaim, named in Rough Trade’s top ten albums for 2008. They’ll be sitting down to be publicly interviewed by the writers of Beat Happening, before performing.

Support comes firstly, from Provokief; using melodicas and Casiotone keyboards, the former Velofax keysman (and brother of Tom Vek) creates twee, jaunty pop songs, full of melodic brilliance. Also on the bill are art-noiseniks Lime Headed Dog. Led by former Good Shoes guitarist Joel Cox, their warped and ramshackle sound has been compared to that of Liars, and they have recently been performing several dates with the much-hyped Micachu.
