Fuck Buttons in the states
 

Get along to see these lads if you're Stateswise. Thoroughly decent chaps and probably the sort of thing those of you who like droning noisey things will enjoy. They get compared to Black Shites and Wolf Shite but are much less shit than that.

Now I have a reason to finally figure out where Babylon is...

the tracks they got on their myspace, i dont here either wolf eyes's noisyness or black dice's chirpyness tho, remind me of like an idm richard d james thing filtered through a little bit of noise and some droning sunn O)) type stuff. ill check them out when they roll into tucson for sure.

"black dice's chirpyness" was a horrible way to describe music i know, pretty pathetic considering im studying journalism. oh well.

I should check out the meaning of the word 'homophone' and check back to see if you've differentiated 'hear' from 'here'.

Right, cuntish behaviour over - I don't think their mywaste does their music justice, their live show's most good, and it's a bit of laziness that leads to those comparisons.

right on

I think they are playing some dates in the UK before that as well. I saw them at ATP and thought they were alright.

Fuck Buttons in the UK

30 January 2008 ICA

Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power became Fuck Buttons above a pub in Bristol a few years ago, and have since taken their shivering twinkles, throat-shredding vocals, Technicolor dronescapes and throbbing arpeggios to small and deliriously received gigs around the country. They'll use pretty much anything (toys, horns, synthesizers) to make noise, but the sounds that result are refined, meticulously assembled. They've recently signed to ATP Recordings, and their debut album Street Horrrsing is out in February. Come and hear their glorious cacophony, surrounding you with hope in its purest elemental form, making you a part of something greater and grander. This is Fuck Buttons. They are loud and free!

Tickets: £10 + £1 booking fee

Wednesday 30 January 2008 8:00 pmTheatre (standing)

Also playing in Clwb Ifor Bach in Cardiff on the 14th of February with Alexander Tucker + ATP DJ's. £6.50 advance or £8 on the door I believe.

It's worth noting that they also (although I think mainly Ben) do the artwork and merchandise and stuff. It's a complete art project ladies and gents.

i can't belive they're coming to ottawa, you've made my day, thank you

Considering they're opening for Wolf Shite in NYC i don't think i'll be attending.

Little bump.
