Green Rooms, Whitworth St

Delicate Hammers Our final gig as the Classic Hammers Line-Up (v2.1) at Kraak. My, 'twas emotional!
Delicate Hammers
Edward Barton may not wrestle as many brigands as once he did, but he is a man perfectly capable of sucking all the attention in the room and weaving it into some atmospheric origami. His associations are most free and handsome, bursting with multivalent intent and incident.
He is cloaked in Manc mythology, inhabiting a...n entire floor of a Hulme tower block while late 80s acid house was pulsing out of the windows, turning it into a sometime gallery and living off the proceeds of "It's A Fine Day", which came out on Cherry Red many planets ago, and then a further licensing with Kylie Minogue's lawyers. An early performer on The Tube in a massive wooden chair, raging against chickens, and friend of James, 808 State and many MCCR luminaries.
There's a far more informed and interesting version of these events to be seen here - http://www.myspace.com/edwardbartonandap
He lives in leafy Chorlton now and has after much consideration decided to let slip his new album, which we believe is called "Edward Barton Scares Girls". Or it might be called "..And A Panda". Some Hammers did some work in his garden. We are big fans, and really delighted that he has invited us to play along. Even though we might look a bit shit by comparison.

And we will be performing for the first time sans Ringo. Let the vibrational goodness be felt on the dusty streets of Madras.
Coc promises his voice won't blow up this time. x

**THERE'S A VENUE CHANGE, COMRADES!**
Due to a bureaucratic slip, Tiger Lounge's wallpaper will not absorbing the spooky vibe of Leonard and his less astral colleagues, so we are wombling free in the overground underground at the Kraak Space, which can be found above the Habib Bank on Stevenson Square in the Northern Qu...arter. There must be some fiscal irony there, but I've not the tools to mine this.
It's gone all West Berlin, so there may not be as many comforts as at Tiger Lounge, but that's all the more space for the artistry, eh? Bring some drink, if you wish, and gird yourselves for a night of ambient dread.

If you like zombies, and you like Hammers - then you'll just love Delicate Hammers' final gig with Ringo, Lord Stuchbury which will be on the theme of Zombie Apocalypse. Now, OK, you could argue that's very last month, but who knows when the end is really coming, eh?
Hammers will be one of the acts at Leonard Skully PhD's A Cabinet of Curiosity, which gleams with dark intelligence like an awesome edition of The Twilight Zone featuring Ziggy Stardust and the Camels of Mars.
Other acts include The Housewives, a concrete cancer creeping up the motorway to unleash some kind of arch fury under the semblance of an infernal hotel; and Billy Ruffian, who lurch about with wine-fuelled menace, bringing the spirit of chaos to a Question Time format.
Then we box Tim up and ship him off to the Subcontinent for a cultural exchange, spreading the seed of Mr Zimmerman in response to all that Buddha stuff we got a few years ago. See him off in styles!

Delicate Hammers play a few gigs now and then, rounded by long periods of indolence. After Loopol gets back from Japan and before Stutchbury heads off to India for a few months, Hammers stick out their sore musical thumbs again for CloudSounds.
Matt Riviere is ace, and we look forward to playing with him enormously. The... Forest lives in Wales - by choice! - so must be an eccentric performer, eh?
We will spit girders in your eye and punch holes in your conception of time. The usual routine.
Delicate Hammers We must plan to return to the Glastonbury next year. Hammers in the Green Fields. Cross your fingers and help us believe!
Delicate Hammers Take a look at this new musical gimmick and the Hammers' involvement. The Sixty One - it's nice, and you can post your own tunes up and even get paid for 'em. Neis! x

Playing "Peanut Butter Zombie", recorded by Dr Lw. It IS a bit dark. Sorry about that.
Delicate Hammers Delicate Hammers at the very generous Selection Box at the quite posh Square Club in beautiful downtown Bristol. Playing some old numbers...

We are bringing down the or/some power of Der Shonk to Manchester's ticklish fringe once again.
When do we get our gold genitals?
Delicate Hammers Nice words about us in the MEN. David Sue again. "Mad-as-cheese" - though he didn't specify which type exactly.

MANCHESTER'S leading music/arts festival Futuresonic hook up with local promoters Green Bohemia - the result? A top-notch new music showcase you really don't want to miss.

We've seen the future and it will be.
We've seen the future and it works.
FutureSonic festival will never be the same again, because they are going to change the name next year.
We are lining up alongside some of the finest artists to draw electronic breath in the Mancunian metropolitan area.
We have - Shmoo - http://www.m...yspace.com/shmoomusic - She Machine operators with synths for blood and robots for vocal chords. Nice. A bit like Les Rythyms Digitales turning up at your door and asking if they can borrow a cup of 80s.
Silverclub - http://www.myspace.com/silverclubuk - who are partly the laptop slump-eyed genius Tommy Walker III and partly other people about whom we are not quite as excited. They also pulse with that moody sheen that you might expect, and are tipped for furtherance.
The Thinman Project - http://www.myspace.com/thethinmanproject - with whom we have crossed performance swords on an earlier occasion; an occasion that saw the Noise Police arrive and shut us down. They are a bit dramatic, those guys, with stabbing sounds.
There is also Snowflake, but about them we know not so much.
We will be on about 9.30, but why not take a peek at the whole smorgasbord, as it's like FREE!!!
We'll show you the future so hard, it'll bleed from your tearducts

Delicate Hammers drive a limp flag in a new corner of Y Deyrnas Unedig by turning and making some of that "music" that you've read about in the local press at "Selection Box" at The Square Hotel in Bristol. Quite the swanky place, so we will polish up our best wellies and stitch some sequins on our cosiest balaclavas.
I...n that way, we will bring retribution to the masses just the way that Allah intended - with Hammermusik!
West Country Girls - Form An Orderly Queue The Other Way
