ANTISTAR

Now defunct new wave / dance-punk / indie band from Bristol who were joined mid way through their career by Luke Fussell ex of Antiba. Luke Fussell and frontman Jim Dippie now make music as Neon Highwire with ex-Antiba member Steven Morgan. Luke & Jim's solo music can be found under the titles Hail! Perestroika and Novelty Music Scene respectively. The indefinite hiatus called after their final gig is expected to remain in place until they have that collective dream of storming the Thekla armed with nothing but back issues of Wire magazine and perseverance for a second time.

Neon Highwire

Neon Highwire are a South London based electro/rock/pop three piece conceived by Jim Dippie, Luke Fussell & Steven Morgan in the autumn of 2008. Initially the group created nihilistic distorted-bass driven house in order to cleanse their palettes from previous Bristol-based projects Antistar and Antiba. The results of these early jams was an uncompromising sound falling somewhere between Death From Above 1979 and 65DaysOfStatic that was explored as the band became familiar with the setup, each other and themselves.
