Alms - The Landmark Ilfracombe

Alms play North Devon 
The Landmark Theatre Ilfracombe

Saturday 30 April - 18:00
This Bristol based 4 piece were born out of the reverberant exhoes of the 00's post-indie electronic obsession. Building on their folky roots they have developed a has resulted in a harder, edgier sound that screams from the bottom of its lungs to be heard.  Alms take stock of a wide range of influences from Radiohead to My Bloody Valentine and blend that with winding counter melodies and addictive guitar hooks.

"So young yet so talented ...Alms gave us uplifiting melodies with a trace of sadness at the edges. Watch out for these in the future" livemusicscene.co.uk

Four Dimensional Nightmare - Revisited

Four Dimensional Nightmare is a dark analogue place - a fabulous place where your nerves get a little bit  jangled but the experience is highly addictive. If you become a fan on the ReverbNation page you get some great free downloads!

The text below is taken from the website: http://www.4dnightmare.com/

I started Four Dimensional Nightmare near the end of 2007, a solo project with various aspirations. I wanted to create something new, a daunting task in this age of a million bands and a billion songs. I love industrial music, love experimenting and love playing the guitar. As well as goofing around with my voice. So what has resulted? I’ve recorded about 500 songs or so in a genre I decided to call “horrorshow.”

I’ve had the opportunity in the past three years to remix and collaborate with artists all over the world and made some great friends. And even played some shows, a challenge for a one-person band.

I'll drink to that - keep it up mate!

Below is selection from an email interview with Four Dimensional Nightmare we did in  2009

• Your music can not be described as 'easy listening' (thank God) so how would you describe it?
  

I would say it's a sort of hybrid between industrial, psychedelic and experimental. I write from the dream state - usually waking up from lucid dreams and writing down everything I can remember. Sometimes I keep going and actually do the song during the night and sometimes I work the next day. Read more of the interview...

Connie - 'Fly Away'

The sun is burning down  and the beach is full of people - the light reflecting off the polished cars like spears stabbing your eyes - it is a good day to listen to 'Fly Away'.

Connie was born and raised in Botswana Africa but her parents are from Mauritius. Connie hopes that one day her dreams will come true by making it big in the music industry.

'Fly Away' contains a message and sentiment we probably all sometimes feel we need to do - just get to a batter place.

She is a singer songwriter and says, "It's not easy to get signed but hopes and prays that her mum watching over her from heaven will guide and help her get to where she wants to be"
