doubledotdash!? present An Econo Band Night.

Saturday 14 November 2009, doors 8pm

NØUGHT
+ POINO + HUNTING THE SHY + TILEHURST CHILDRENS ARKESTRA

Nøught
Formed in March 1996 out of a common desire for improvisation, originality and a love for the classic music of the 20th Century - Miles Davis, Steve Reich, Sonic Youth, Philip Glass, Stravinsky, Glenn Branca, Nation of Ulysses, John Coltrane & The Fall - NØUGHT have warped the conceived boundaries between rock, jazz and the avant garde and welded a jet engine to Oxford's already musical rollercoaster ride.

So enamoured was John Peel of the band's extreme sound that he invited them to record a session. Guitarist James Sedwards has appeared on national television interviewed by Peel, who, talking about James' playing, declared that James was "the first person who's not been a footballer that I've been jealous of." The broadcaster's support for the band, confirmed by his playing mixes of the band's music and giving them the opportunity to play the Meltdown '98 festival at London's South Bank Centre and Sound City in Newcastle.

This will be a welcome return to Reading for a band who wowed the audience at econo band night #7 in April.
