More Details
Mila Todd
Mila Todd was recently seen on our stage supplying vocals and percussion for the Mancbeth project, and those with good memories might recall her fronting grungy rockers Ciphers, but nowadays she's best known as an agit-prop electronica producer (and occasional avian nurse, apparently), and we're chuffed that her new solo project will be unveiled at GTI. As well as making excellent electronica, Mila is also one of the few artists we've booked who've had a documentary made about them (in this case ActNow, about ecology activism, look it up on IMDB).
Kamikaze Space Programme
If there's an artist to successfully traverse the treacherous divide between the genres of electronic music, it's Christopher Jarman's prevailing alias, Kamikaze Space Programme. With roots in his Raiden alias, his abstract electronica has seen his music backed, supported and released by the heaviest of renowned labels, such as Luke Slater's Mote Evolver. Encompassing cutting edge sound design alongside field recordings and the sleeker, low tempos and psychedelic energy of dub and shoegaze, Jarman's ability to manoeuvre between genre and style sees the music of Kamikaze Space Programme defy classification while spiralling from one nether-spectrum of sound to the next.
GIGSY
GIGSY is an electronic indie rock pop musician who blends the classic dark synth pop sound of the 80s with the brash female vocals of the 90s and the rise of electronica pop from the modern day. She's been compared to the likes of MARINA, Gwen Stefani, Kate Bush, Lady Gaga and Grimes.
DON'T BE AN ARSE
Our gigs are often highly eclectic, so there might be a wide variety of punters in our little venue. We want everyone to have a good time, so relax, express yourself and have a good gig, but be thoughtful of other people and don't ruin their night with your fun. Basically, just be considerate and nice, and everyone will be happy.
Naturally, anyone who is actively aggressive, or who abuses anyone else on the grounds of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, Monster Munch flavour preference, or whatever the hell else might make a bigot irrationally angry, is out the door.
WE'LL DO OUR BEST TOO
In return, we'll make every effort to create a warm and pleasant environment, and we'll try our hardest to keep to the timetable (music starts at approximately 20.00, and will go on till about 22.15). Also, we've kept the door price as low as we can, but rest assured that GTI is a non-profit event, and all the money after expenses goes to the performers.
