the bard Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 99p GIGS ARE BACK THIS WEEK ONLY! 2 Gigs for the advance price of only 99p at: THE SHAKESPEARE 146-148 Gibraltar St, West Bar, Sheffield. TUESDAY 13th OCTOBER JASMINA MASCHINA / MAGPIE WEDDING Jasmine Monique Gufford is a celebrated Australian electronics musician who relocated to Berlin from Sydney in 2003 with her band Minit. Her debut Jasmina Maschina album “The Demolition Series” (Staubgold) was released in 2008. Melding the most simple and innocent chord progressions of time-honoured folk music with a noisenik’s attraction to repetition, drone and inventiveness. Live, Jasmina performs hauntingly beautiful variations of her songs. Fragile layers of sound swirling magnificently around your ears, each song based on her personal style of gentle guitar picking, yet at any moment capable of interrupting into intoxicating noise, seducing you into her wonderful atmosphere. “This is a straight-ahead folk filtered through an imaginative electro-prism that Cat Power into a cocked hat.” Dominic Al-Badri - Kansai Time Out. “Demolition Series is a collection of great tuneful, well written and conceived tracks, performed with great passion, feeling and depth. One of the high points of this year and surly the debut album of the year” Roger Batty - Musique Machine. Support comes from the folky Magpie Wedding, from Bologna, Italy. They use an array of instruments from keyboards, guitars, drums, banjo, violin, accordion and saw to create a rich musical tapestry. "A wonderful surprise - bringing up not too distant memories of a young teenager discovering Ida and Red House Painters for the first time, overjoyed at how beautiful, joyous, and oddly melancholy music can be." 9/10 Foxy Digitalis. "Using folk as their starting point, the band add touches of drone, wyrdness and emotion… with opening track 'Time Yet' having the feel of a Nick Drake recording, the haunting voice of Grace... drawing you in." Terrascope Online. “Our notes range from post-rock guitars to Modest Mouse to Anne Briggs to Scout Niblett to Shearwater to the Indelicates to Asthmatic Kitty records… It’s a properly great record.” Sweeping The Nation. **** 99p ADVANCE TICKETS ONLY **** £3 ON THE DOOR.
