 Ah, Macbeth. He had his best mate killed, went mental, and was eventually beheaded. A tragic tale of a tragic man; a bit like Dean Gaffney. If you’d rather not have a tragic night, look no further than The Parlour, taking place at The Macbeth in Hoxton.
Forget witches and schizophrenia, The Macbeth’s full of Hoxton hotties, with their heads screwed-on to eclectic tunes and belly-laughs. Oh yeah, you better believe it when we say, The Parlour is set to showcase a diverse array of electro/indie for the masses. Electro/indie, in case you’re wondering, is as hot as Eva Longoria’s bikini line, so The Parlour’s where it’s at.
You want deep and daring? Welcome to the world of Ulterior, with tunes so heavy they were blamed for nationwide tremors experienced last week. Think Primal Scream’s Swastika Eyes and you’re some way to understanding Ulterior’s vocal/bassline blend.
Next up is Cleckhuddersfax – an acquired taste maybe, and definitely not the kind of music to listen to when you’re seriously tripping, Cleckhuddersfax delve into the realms of prog-electro with bass-squelches, guitar-licks, and a soundscape akin to a ZX Spectrum. Unfortunately, vocally reminiscent of that fella from The Darkness but amazing nonetheless.
Finally, beat-poet Gypsy Girl has teamed up with the notorious XX Teens drummer to whisk sub-bass rhythms with vocal chatter akin to Kate Nash and Mike Skinner’s rather talented lovechild (now there’s a thought). Gypsy Girl Filth’s stammering narrative and electro hybrid is some fresh shit. So fresh it’s steaming hot and the flies have yet to set-up shop.
"All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand." Macbeth; I couldn’t have put it better myself.
