Spaceships Are Cool were formed by Rob Maddison in the summer of 2005 and are based in the city of nottingham, UK. Spaceships are cool use toy phones, melodicas, cheesey synths, glockenspiels and miniature drumkits to make their music.
Rob spent many days recording & performing as a drummer & programmer in bands in Nottingham & Newcastle upon tyne. It was whilst drawing doodles & day-dreaming on planes and tour buses, between playing gigs on a volcano in iceland, a converted barn in Sweden & at a bizzare show in a ballroom in Caeser's palace las vegas...
Taking his inspiration from the abrasive tones of Detroit Techno, the harsh soundscapes of Electro-Bass and the blissful contextual elements of IDM, Matt's sound is a journey through the raw components of underground dance music. Every piece lending itself to the tag of 'album track' whilst retaining that dancefloor groove.
As a DJ foremost his productions have developed around his DJ style, which has in turn morphed into a 3 deck and Laptop setup running Ableton Live.
Strings of Seville deliver pile-driving alternative rock with waves of warm fuzzy guitars and added art-rock shapes. Yes, they are delightfully noisy, but they always stay on the right side of melodic and distil the essence of what makes a song great, which stops them from ever vanishing up their own proverbial - often the downfall of so many bands of this ilk. The obvious My Bloody Valentine references are there in the wall-o-sound guitars, but their more direct approach recalls the thick slabs of sonic power of Siamese Dream-era Smashing Pumpkins.
The A Band are a British improvised music collective formed in Nottingham, UK in the late 1980s. In 2005, The Wire magazine stated that "the importance of The A-Band to the UK rock underground is commensurate with the explosive impact that groups like AMM, SME or The People Band had on the free jazz and Improv set. An ever-fluctuating group of artists, dole boys, punk conceptualists and record collectors, they were the first UK ensemble to anchor a free drone music in the muscle and scorch of the most high-energy rock, while keeping it as untutored as the most elemental folk."
