Last reminder for the Oxes shows tomorrow and Monday...
If you fancy coming along, we have a number of cheap tickets (£5) for
mailing-list members + friends. If you want some reserved for the
Glasgow show, you MUST text / phone me on 07879898795 by 7.30pm
tomorrow so I can give your name to the cashier.
If you are coming along to the Edinburgh show on Monday, there is no
need to reserve in advance, just mention the mailing-list (and the
email address you are signed up under) as you pay in.
Cheers
Claire

"The Oxes are a really twisted bunch of fellows from Baltimore.
Onstage, they stand on really big black boxes while performing some
alarmingly complex, off-base pieces of mostly instrumental, metal-
inspired math rock. Their music springs a trap that ensnares you as
firmly as a steel cage, leaving you shaking the bars and screaming to
be let out while Oxes pulls off series after series of totally insane
time changes and guitar riffs. What you really begin to realize after
awhile, whether you're watching them live or listening to them on
record, is that these cats are just a little bit off the deep end --
maybe more than a little bit. This wouldn't be a surprise if you
already knew that the Oxes are also members of an entity known as the
Baltimore Rowdy Collective, a group that lives and dies by the rules
of "rowdyism," which basically means going around causing a big scene
by being chaotic and talking really loud in monster-type voices.
Right -- a little bit off the deep end. Regardless, these three guys
can rock and that's what it's all about. Just don't expect to
understand any conversation you might have with them."

"Oso is the recording project of Phil Taylor from Volta Do Mar. A new
album will be released via Arborvitae and TEAM AV in early 2005, just
in time to soundtrack your watermelon eating contest and the great
grain harvest."
