Stratford Rise play in toales tonight
Sunday 10th March - STRATFORD RISE + Dead And Loving It + Tonedeaf
Toales' "Sunday Session" is an early evening event, with doors opening at 5.30pm and finishing up by 9pm, and making their Toales debut is Bangor's Stratford Rise, a new breed of experimental noise rock from Northern Ireland.
Citing influences including DNA and This Heat, to XTC and Gilla Band, they pumped out their frantic debut single "Water Running Through Faucet" in August of last year.
Latest release ‘Worlds Fair’ finds Stratford Rise blending jazz, noise rock, funk, no-wave, disco and pop through harsh noise, raw guitar, and angular rhythms, not to mention danceable grooves.
Their sound is defined by contradictions, cranking tension between far-reaching extremes, and always with anxious fixations on minute details.
Support on the night comes from Toales' favourite Dead And Loving It, who's catchy alt rock tunes with big washy shoegaze guitars always entertain, and Tonedeaf.
Doors 5.30pm. Admission €10
