North-East Gig goers are in for yet another instalment of energetic noise this October with a feast of a show headlined by the almighty Daughters! Fresh from a stint of dates with The Fall of Troy, this frenetic quintet will be hitting
This is another exciting show that takes the Portions for Foxes team back to some their previous alternative promotion projects, working with the likes of Wives, The Hope Conspiracy and Whores Whores Whores.
The most recent Daughters album, Hell Songs (Hydrahead, 2006) frantically flings short spiked tracks at the listener in a way that is both rhythmic and robotic, by assigning the melody of the tracks to their bass and bass drum.
“Daughters' uneasy marriage of Pussy Galore-cum-Locust attitude mirrors what they're attempting on Hell Songs: A unity of two different avant-gardes united mostly by a desire for shock and aural awe. The resulting songs might even work too well-- together, the disparate elements of grind and trashcan-rock come together so naturally that the result is almost conventional, which one has to think isn't really their intent. Forgive them for trying to freak us out: In the process, they've stumbled on to something.”
-Pitchfork Medial
On October 12th can we expect a selection of tracks from Daughters’ previous releases, including Canada Songs (Robotic Empire, 2003), we can hope for a preview of some of the upcoming tracks that will feature on the release of their third LP, due in 2008.
