Gig Guide: Sun 9th May

 

Sun 9th May 20:00 SPARTACUS LIVE :: MAX RAPTOR :: EYES OF MARS :: OCEAN THIEF :: CASITAS

 

A titanic sound: energised, snappy punk rock with schizophrenic waves and agitated vocals. In 2009 Max Raptor notched up gigs with Canadian punk rockers Billy Talent, The Zutons, and since then they have gone on to secure management in L.A with Satellite Management taking the helm. They continue to work alongside producer Sam Bell credited with Snow Patrol, Weezer, Bloc Party, Editors and REM. In the storm that the music industry is, Max Raptor are the fighting to bring back the passion and drive of when music was everything. As their fan-base continues to increase in numbers the gigs become shows and the shows become unforgettable. Their fans mirror a chaos and a desire that the band resonate. This is the sound of the year, 2010 is the year of the Raptor.

And so appears Eyes of Mars; where fair is foul and foul is fair. Where maladies become melodies and dreams are abound. Welcome to the world of the otherworldly, where rules are but a whisper. Theirs is a enigmatic soundtrack to cult films and flamboyant art; Think David Lynch via Yeah Yeah Yeah's.

Ocean Thief are an up-and-coming musical collective hailing from the fetching city of Bath. Fusing the considered melodies of Radiohead and Jeff Buckley with the more monumental soundscapes of Sígur Rós, their songs remain etched firmly in the mind long after listening.

Casitas are an alternative pop band based in Bath who will be opening the night.
