Invada Invasion curated by Geoff Barrow Tickets, Colston Hall, Bristol

Mogwai

Tumultuous indie rock with the emphasis on epic, Mogwai's music has an almost orchestral feel to it, thanks to its huge scale. Rich and luscious in its atmosphere and texture, here's a group that really will take you on a trip to somewhere else.

Crippled Black Phoenix

Started by Electric Wizard Drummer Justin Greaves, Crippled Black Phoenix began to take form when Mogwai bassist Dominic Aitchinson became involved. Others soon joined and the variety of artists working on the project influenced Crippled Black Pheonix's eclectic sound. With obvious Mogwai components and touches of Sigur Ros and Low the Bristol collective's music has a fragile dreamlike quality that both soothes and haunts the soul.

F*** Buttons

F*ck Buttons bring new sensibilities to the obscure art of noise. Using severely distorted children's keyboards, guitar, vocals and piezo contacts on metallic surfaces, they create a searing, painful yet passionate sound with interesting underlying aesthetics and a compelling stage presence.

Gonga

Bristol-based psych-rockers Gonga have existed in various mutations since the band was founded in 1998 by Thomas and George Elgie. Gonga is to be identified by a high-volume, low frequency sound reminiscent at once of both Earth and Hendrix, owing as much to doom as it does to classic rock. 'Welcome to thee temple ov riff worship'!

Malakai

Malakai are a two-piece band from Bristol. Gee (vocals) and Scott (music) draw on a wide range of influences from dub to sixties pop, all tied together by Gee's distinctive voice. Their sound is a mix of beats and samples.

Team Brick

Live spontaneous joy-noise filled with throat singing, pedal-chain manipulation, song in the form of bellowed prayer and any number of instruments and found objects. A significant exception to both the timid floundering of improvised experimentalists and the stereotypical noise musician, Team Brick's live sets are eventful, intuitive and almost impossible to ignore.

Thought Forms

Bath-based band with guitars flowing from beautiful whispers to pure noise with occasional dreamy vocals. Have been compared to Bardo Pond, Mogwai and early Sonic Youth.
