It is inviting isn’t it? Well, on Wednesdays for longer than I care to remember Ae has been hosting free (but give the performers something at the end you cheapos or at least buy some music from them, alright?) nights promoting local bands, solo performers and even some touring folk aswell. It’s usually a full house, smoky as hell and we know that’s what you want most out of a venue right? Maybe not then but I can guarantee two good acts tonight.
Proto Hills is made up of two members from local shoegaze bands, I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream and The History Of Colour TV, they’ll be on first at 9:30pm.
Here’s one from Helmut first and Proto Hills below that:
Helmut is a classically trained guitarist gone pop. The signals working their way from the guitar pick ups and microphone … more through his looping device are combining tribal poly rhythmics, harmonic use of voice-layering and a delicate touch of distortion and noise, leaving just enough space and providing a solid foundation for the fragile melody bringing it all together.”
