65daysofstatic

Performing the live soundtrack to Silent Running

 

Friday 6 May

Queens Social Club, Queens Road, Sheffield, S2 4DG

£11.50adv

 

Presented by Drowned in Sound in association with Sensoria.

 

65daysofstatic have moved away from their standard touring format to present a new project for 2011 – live soundtracking the 1972 sci-fi kitsch classic, ‘Silent Running’.

 

The film will be presented with the original dialogue intact, as an engaging cinematic experience. Director Trumbull’s speculative environmental feature follows Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern), a loner crew member of a spaceship harbouring the Earth’s last nature reserves. Lowell goes renegade when he and his crew are instructed to destroy his beloved forests and return home.

 

Add to that the excitement (and volume) of 65daysofstatic’s barrage of sound and multi textured music.. Expect dirty, fragile, instrumental-guitar-synth mayhem.

 

Say the band:

 

Five of our favourite things are 70s Sci-fi movies, film soundtracks, playing gigs, robots and Bruce Dern. We get to pull all of these things together to create 90-minute piece of full-on entertainment. People have been calling our music soundscapey and cinematic since we began, but this has mostly been an accidental by product of our intentions. So it’ll be nice to finally embrace that and rewrite the soundtrack of a movie that represents an era of movie-making that has arguably influenced us as much as any music has ever done

 

All this in Sheffield’s one and only c.1973 venue, Queens Social Club. This will be the first time the ‘Silent Running’ rescore is performed by the band in England; after May there are no further live plans for them until September. Do not miss this special 65dos concert.

 

Originally commissioned by Glasgow Music & Film Festival.

 

Tickets on sale Wednesday 9 March from WeGotTickets, SeeTickets, The Harley (Glossop Road), The Wick At Both Ends (West Street) and Arcade (The Forum, Division Street).

By the time they take to the stage at Queens, it'll be precisely a year since 65daysofstatic last played a note in their hometown. This month also sees the band's tenth anniversary. We ain't superstitious (well, maybe a bit), but everything points to this being an utter corker.

We've had to put some more online as they all disappeared yesterday... this show is tomorrow, and will be busy - get down early if you still need a ticket as only a limited number will be available on the door.
