65daysofstatic, Ex-Easter Island Head

2014 makes it 10 years since the release of 65’s debut album ‘The Fall Of Math’. In April, the band marked the occasion by performing the album in full around Europe, including sold out shows at Koko in London and Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. Due to popular demand, on 29th October 65daysofstatic will play the album as a whole for a final time at the stunning Manchester Cathedral, followed by a full length second set. The band had the following to say on the album:

‘In the first year of the weird post 9/11 future we all now occupy, 65daysofstatic wrote a record entirely by mistake in an obscure room in the North of England, usually in the evening after finishing whatever day jobs we were holding down.

In the weird spring of 2003 we watched in horror as the US invaded Iraq, aided by our own morally destitute government and seemingly for completely fabricated reasons. A month later, we went into the studio to record the music that would become 'The Fall of Math' aided by the kindness of Monotreme Records, the label that helped to build 65dos from the ground up into a viable commodity fit for digestion in the public sphere. We pulled a huge round the clock session, aided by the wisdom and skill of the infamous Alan Smyth, a man whose expertise and advice we seek to this day. While not exactly a global smash, The Fall of Math was met with some excitement by a number of people we had never dreamed of, and threw us into a world of very hard touring and recording for the foreseeable future. In short, it changed our lives, as did the aftermath of the events we were quasi-soundtracking by living through.

While 65daysofstatic are no longer the same people we were back then, The Fall of Math holds a great significance for us. Maybe it does for you too.'

The 2nd set will be a normal performance featuring tracks from their latest album ‘Wild Light’ as well as the band's extensive back catalogue.
