what a lovely island in the week

CLEPTOCLECTICS (sydney)
Wednesday the 12th of August will be a night of Experimental Pop for Bar Open.
Described as pop-noise and in the same breath as Broadcast and Battles, Touch Typist will be headlining the night. They have been said to have a sound that can whisper melodic sweetness before launching into nuanced electro-acoustic assaults.
Also playing are Experimental Pop fiends Patinka Cha Cha who will be bringing their unique twist of sounds to the stage, using Records and Beat Boxing along with traditional ensemble instrumentation to craft a sound drifting on the edge of dreamy pop and something completely new.
Oscillating between wistful intuition and clinical experimentalism, ii will be bringing their plinks, blips, hums, warbles, meeps, throbs, bangs and clunks to the stage. (These guys don't play many gigs, so make sure you catch them!)
The most recent addition to the Bill is Sydney's Cleptoclectics, who are kicking off the night. Cleptoclectics have been described as Part hip-hop beatmulching, part experimental electronica and part found-sound collage. All in all, it will be a night that will leave your ears tingling.
and it's FREE

yeahyeah yeah
aw i forgot clepto was on board. rad!
Clepto! woop the boy needs more melbourne love. One of my fav hip hop producers this side of detroit!
last time i endosed an interstate Touch Typist gig, tig offered me a free CD.
I'm going to endose them again, i just want to be fully up front and open about the CDR for comment arrangement.
I would endose them even if tig wasn't giving away shit. in fact, i still haven't received anything in the mail yet. ;-)
go see this gig, you bums! i haven't heard of PATINKA, but everyone else on the bill i've seen and are pretty good.
you misspelt endone.
tee hee
the jig is up
I promise ill send a copy when we finish the bloody thing!
i know i know. hush hush, it's all cool.
go to the gig you bums! what else are you going to do at home? there's shit on tv. weekend gigs can be awesome. feels a bit like wagging school. you shouldn't be out, but you're too rock'n roll for their rules.
doh, weekday, weekends, you know exactly what i mean. get off my case you grammar nazis!
i'm missing basketball for this shiz. that's how huge it's gonna be.
some team player you are, anok.
he's shouting the whole team entry if they'd go.
I'm not sure the team-of-accountants would really be down for it.
aw, everyone would love this. except punks. or goths. or emos.
can't carry those guys every week. they need to learn to fend for themelves.
Woo hoo I am pretty excited about this show... Couldn't have hoped for a nicer line up.
Unfortunately Cleptoclectics has had to cancel!
Still a rad lineup though...
Can I have playing times and a cupcake please?
can i have one too?
yes. but only you.
Does this mean it'll be an earlier finish? 'cause that'd mean I can stick around for Touch Typist and still get to bed at a reasonable school-night-hour!
Playing times will probably be
ii - 8:55 pm
Patinka - 9:45
Touch Typist - 10:45
or around that...
Say, did you ever get around to posting myspace links? What do you sound like?
HERE
But this isn't a very good example because we are a six piece at the moment... and we don't play most of these songs. geh.
Touch Typist Myspace

Yes/no/maybe aka. Andrew Woodgate is going to play a short 20 min set at 8:30 sharp to start the night off... he plays mpc with patinka but doesn't play live much...
Here
But also here...
this should be a pleasant Wednesday evening...
Sorry for not making the show!
I have been in bed sick as a dog for the last four days. I heard Patinka Cha Cha were freakin awesome though!
Hope you feel better, tig. Your brother has a teensy tiny guitar amp!
Yeah I really hope you feel better Tig!
It was a shame that Touch Typist couldn't play but Nick was so so beautiful as usual... ii were really great as well... except I forgot my ear plugs :(
Nicko im sure would have brought the noise, im better today thanks Tash!
