deXter Bentley presents The Electricity Bill
An evening of eccentric, eclectic & electric pop music.
The hosts of Resonance FM’s Hello Goodbye show presents a line-up of performances of an electronic persuasion. Roll up for an aural excursion through a world where the throb and hum of static and distortion are propelled through myriad wires and boxes creating music that would at once fall silent if not aided and abetted by the power of electricity.
This entire event is broadcast live on Resonance 104.4 FM and via the world wide web at www.resonancefm.com.
Running order for Room 9
19.00 Jeremy Smoking Jacket (20 minute set)
19.40 Skull Defekts (20 minute set)
20.20 James III & the Courtesan (20 minute set)
21.00 Momus (25 minute set)
Momus
The Berlin based musician, artist, journalist and blogger will be purveying his own peculiar brand of strange electronic folk.
He has been releasing albums for more than twenty years and has just released his latest offering. Ocky Milk, written in
a style which he mysteriously describes as 'Absurdist Asian Torch'.

James III and the Courtesan
A cut-and-paste noisetronica duo who perform with the aid of fully customised and startlingly original ‘NAG’ strap-on machines.
Founder members James Hardy and Thomas Stone focus themselves on generating de-harmonic fragments of riffs, composed and abstracted
from the sublime. They forge these elements into a tangled ad-hoc experience, performed with a simplistic transparency, using
nihilistic eruptions of noise, purified to resemble a synthesised 'song'. For this performance they will attempt a fusion
of specific interactive video elements, manipulated live by their indulgent sonic weapons of crass deconstruction.

The Skull Defekts
Henrik Rylander and Joachim Nordwall first formed the Skull Defekts in early 2005. Sharing a common interest in the power
of sound, their collaboration soon gave birth to a double-headed beast, where pure noise clashes with intense and monotonous
rock. Through constant experimentation their sound has taken the form of deep feedback drone magic. Noted recordings include
Open the Gates of Mimer (with Lasse Marhaug), Yes I Am Your Angel (split LP with Wolf Eyes), plus their latest vinyl album Magnetic Skulls & Intense Sound Stimulations (Conspiracy Records). Anticipate music of warmth and delirium combined with disturbing, heavily rhythmic electronic tones
and distortion.

Jeremy Smoking Jacket
Experimental songs made from tape noise, guitar abuse and vocal loops. Rose Kemp and SJ Esau bring softly spoken headaches
and repeat-core illogications to their richly textured soundscapes, peppering them with a tangle of words, ranging from the
obscure to the obscene and from the bizarre to the insulting.
