Right - it's tonight!
Support will also come from the mysterious Grizzly Giant.
There's also the alternative club going on after 11 pm.
I think I can also squeeze a couple more people on the guest list...
"Experience a night in the company of two delicious, life-enriching, subtly magickal and unsubtly sexy musical acts : The Flesh Happening & The Mekano Set..."
The Flesh and The Mekanoids would like to request the pleasure of your company:
On Friday 27th January 2006 AD, @ the deliciously sleazy Engine Room Club, the "Invert-Theatre-Hall Scatalogical Sex-Seance" that is The Flesh Happening, in the company of the "gorgeously dark-roasted" post-industrial-rock-popsters The Mekano Set, will be making you think about the alchemy of sound and sex.
Expect full-frontal nudity, post-rock diva action, songs (or 'sex jams') centred around the worlds of 'fuck', 'weather', 'blame' and 'poo', excellent footwear, Kings and Queens of Drag, and of course, delicious noises.
The Mekano Set will be bringing some angry sex, some sinistrialism, some soiled electro-rock grooves, a little post-rock diva cool, some grime and some wine; The Flesh will be bringing the subversive sex, the scatalogical musings, the invert-music-hall stylings, the full-frontal nudity, and the rock.
The Flesh have the edgy theatrics of Bauhaus - but in colour. Imagine if Tim Burton had invented Tom Waits. The Mekanos are "like Shirley Garbage's little sister having a fight with Placebo." Sculpted noise, post-punk electro-groovage, live-loopage.
There's also an alternative DJ set afterwards until the early hours of the morning (Deviant?).
Anyhoo, you now have fia matter of hours to assemble a suitable outfit!
"Oliva Spleen is the most disgusting man to grace the stages of Rock 'n' Roll since Little Richard. Combining a passion for sex, sadomasochism, anal and hard liquor he brings his band of ground and twisted musicians screaming into the music scene."
"The Flesh Happening: Brightons top band of the moment. A great and occasionally intimidating live act who are now living up to their early promise. Oliver the front man is a full on show man who bares his soul with a tight mean band playin' great punk rock with tunes too many influences to mention here."
"Listening to the Mekano Set is like having your cake and eating it. Beth sings like an ice-cube melting down your spine on a hot day. Exquisite tingles of agony gradually making the transition into a warm wash of relief. Milk can do stuff with pedals that not even my old driving instructor could. The Saint plays the bass like, well, a saint. Obviously."
"MY FACE WENT RED. I HAD TO SHOUT. FEAR OF WEEING DOWN MY LEG TOOK OVER. MY HANDS TOOK CONTROL OF THEIR OWN DESTINY AND SLAPPED TOGETHER. MY MOUTH OPENED AT VARIOUS INTERVALS AND NOISES LIKE 'WOO' SLIPPED OUT.I GOT EXCITED. Yowser!" Ridder, Ace Photographer.
"The Flesh Happening are probably lunatics, or far worse. Be warned, the sentiments and images conjured by their self-titled EP aren't the sort of thing you'd like your children to hear, even when they're in their mid-30s and safely desensitised to dirty words." THE GUIDE.
"Brilliant bass-heavy ambiance generated by a {three-piece} gothic, trip-hop dub outfit... Sirens luring you toward a dark fate you'll embrace." Source Magazine.
"The Mekano Set: three piece band - an excellent live show: imagine a harder more industial more up to date Garbage. Hard beats, swirling Banshee style guitar and cool as fuck vocal"
"With big beats and a reminiscent feel of Placebo, The Mekano Set sounds raw, catchy and rocky. Mellow, echo-like and whispery, with plenty going on in the background, this music is for night-time - listen to this and be transported to a dream-like stupor... there's something relaxing yet chilling about this demo. Definitely different". Spill Magazine
"An expanse of pleasure, a prairie of pleasure indeed. Not a dry eye in the house. I was made to dance, waving like a sunflower in the breeze on a sticky floor. I smiled at the band. They winked. It was scary, in a good way. I was going to put some graffiti on the toilet wall but Id forgotten my marker pen. I drank beer. The battery on my mobile ran out. I drank more beer. I clapped and cheered and promised to come again." The Garret.
"A band to overcome the fears of our sordid times? Stir them up more like." Brighton Source.
"South coast threesome The Mekano Set come touting their own brand of electro tomfoolery that sways from white noise to hints of electroclash through to chilled and spacey trip hop sounds. First number, the bizarrely named 'Dirty Hand Job' is indeed the dirtiest and nosiest of the bunch, near losing singer Beth's delicate vocals in a haze of programmed fuzz and filthy guitars." Bubblegum Slut.
"Hopefully not doomed forever to be misunderstood." S.V. Hood {Scholtz Vitrine}.
"Some bands would make a good plot-line for The X Files." The Garage.
"...Capable of death-defying feats that make the Charlies Angels films look like Open University, The Mekano Set are the true secret weapon in the fight against terrorism, open your hearts and acknowledge that you have been saved!" Loz.
