Saturday 19th November - Melt Banana at The New Adelphi 8pm

Hull Art Lab in collaboration with The New Adelphi club presents a very rare opportunity to experience Melt Banana from Tokyo. Not content merely to be the rulers of start-stop noisecore, Melt Banana have demonstrated that they are also the rulers of everything else played in the context of noisecore. Their sound is No wave gone gonzo. Guitars that sound like ray-guns and very unique piercing rapid-fire female vocals. DNA leaves the galaxy...reconfigured, energised, set ablaze and shot back to the listener through some sonic particle accelerator. The band is now made up of three core members - Agata (guitar), Yako (voice) and Rika (bass), with a rotating selection of drummers. Previous artists lending their talents to the cardiac and propulsive rhythm section of the band include Sudo (Thermo), Ohshima (Satanic Hell Slaughter), Natsume (Multiplex), Dave Witte (Burnt By The Sun/ Dischordant Axis).

Sound.JP suggest that in trying to picture the Melt Banana sound you should Imagine John Zorn/Painkiller without a saxophone, using punk rather than jazz as a basis and being Japanese. And we don't think they're far off the mark. They have played with Merzbow as Merz-Banana and with John Zorn as Cobra Melt Banana, toured extensively throughout Japan, the USA and Europe, played international festivals and have also been one of the few lucky bands in the world to have ever played live (more than once!) from Maida Vale for John Peel's BBC R1 Sessions. Tickets £8.00 (£6.00 concessions), available from Hull New Adelphi or Hull Art Lab.
