DURRR: FIFTH BIRTHDAY
Guess what?
It's DURRR's 5th birthday, and we're throwing the mother of all parties to celebrate, with electro-noise merchants Factory Floor, art-rock band Muscles of Joy, DJ Fnord and of course, the half-decade-old resident DJs Rory Phillips and The Lovely Jonjo.
Factory Floor - we're expecting big things from you in 2012. The post-industrial trio have been honing their craft for a while now and kudos is due for their mini-album, Talking on Cliffs (released 2009) and an untitled mini-LP (released 2010) which led the NME to describe it as "a terrifying racket that simultaneously frazzles the nerves and slackens the bowels". Which we think is a good thing. Since then, they've hooked up with Stephen Morris, who's currently producing the band, who released singles last year with Optimo and DFA. They'll be bringing their post-apocalyptic noise-rock to DURRR - warning; it will be loud and it will be awesome.
Muscles of Joy are an all-female collective from Glasgow, bringing together the aspects of the eclectic music and arts scenes that the city is famed for. The seven-piece band formed after meeting at The Parsonage - an alternative choir who's love for Joy Division and Jefferson Airplane sets them apart from traditional holier-than-thou singing groups - and the ladies of Muscles released their self-titled EP in 2011. Expect bewitching choral arrangements, home-made instruments and spoken word harmonies when they hit the stage.
Early-bird tickets are available now.
