Some good news and bad news. Sadly, due to personal circumstances Josephine Foster is no longer able to come

to Birmingham and her performance at Bring To Light is cancelled. We really hope to bring back over soon.

But Gnod have joined the bill and will play Saturday night in the Library. You can purchase tickets via www.theticketsellers.co.uk

“Mainlining a torrent of psycho-delic, reverb drenched, doomsday motorik and improvised sounds is the master and mystery of Gnod. Audiences have come to expect bizarre humanoid toasting over cosmic synth eeriness pinned down with a combination of duelling deep-vein-thrombosis juggernaut riffs and heart-pounding beats. Gnod explore the possibilities of a big, awesome sound with an uncompromising aesthetic.

To date the band have releases with Not Not Fun (USA), Blackest Rainbow (UK). Tamed Records (France) and Rocket Recordings (UK) to name a few and are gaining a cult following on the live scene in grimy venues & dark club spaces all over Europe with their head-spinning, mind-bending, bowel-shaking live shows.”

Our good friends at HTF Media have released this video of Gnod performing at last year’s Supersonic. It was the second Supersonic outing for the Manchester collective and they’ve fast become one of the best live bands in the country.

If you head over to the Supersonic Festival youtube channel you can see some brilliant footage from previous festivals, including The Bug, Vinyl rally, Bardo Pond and interviews with Godflesh and Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai. If you subscribe to the channel, you’ll get an email letting you know when new stuff is uploaded.

Gnod are back in Birmingham on Saturday May 11th at the Wagon & Horses in Digbeth with ORE and Author & Punisher. Facebook event page.

Following the news that the 2010 edition of Birmingham’s acclaimed annual Supersonic Festival will be headlined by Michael Gira’s massively influential NYC band SWANS, Capsule are excited to announce a first round of live acts who will also perform at this year’s festival, including a rocking free jazz fire in the form of JAILBREAK FEAT. CHRIS CORSANO + HEATHER LEIGH, the screeching hyper frantic sounds of Japan’s MELT BANANA, the understated beauty of 12 string guitar virtuoso JAMES BLACKSHAW, plus the mesmeric psych jams of Explosions in the Sky touring sidekicks LICHENS.

Add Eastern-inspired space rock doom from BONG, “tribal drumming, grunge and utter filth all pushed along with a Krautrock like pulse” from GNOD, Rick Tomlinson’s latest incarnation, the bewitching VOICE OF THE SEVEN THUNDERS and psychedelic guitar drone from BLUE SABBATH BLACK FIJI, and many more special live guests plus art, film and panel discussions to be revealed.
