Spectrum Festival 08v1

9:30 - 10:30pm (Spectrum Headliners)

Crossing the boundaries between the live scene and the club scene Tokyoblu are at once a club night, a DJ duo and an 7 piece band. Its the 7 piece band that we have at Spectrum.
The last year has seen a crop of universally excellent press and radio reviews comparing Tokyoblu’s live band to the likes of Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada, The Gossip and The Greenskeepers. Whilst probably fair and definitely inspiring comparisons as Tokyoblu certainly have some of the same elements and influences as all of these bands, they still remain uniquely Tokyoblu with a dynamite stage show and a huge sound which is uniquely formed to take the dance-floor apart time-after-time and indeed which at times simply defies pigeon-holing.

Promoting their debut album ‘Men in White Jackets’ at Spectrum are Electronica guitar band Roy’s Iron DNA. Signed to local label Alex Tronic Records and produced by label boss Paul Croan, these guys are by the NME as “They have successfully blended musical ideas from the 60s the punk era right through to contemporary electronica, Trip Hop at it’s darkest. This is a very interesting band”.

Dumb Instrument are an intriguing prospect, an extremely poetic, folk band from Ayrshire who have also just finished recording their first LP 'No-one Knows What It's Like To Be Me'. They are a band very worth listening to and causing a stir where ever they play.
