The Continental’s experimental music night returns - the only one of its kind in the North West. Come along and take a journey into the outer limits of music. Here is what we have in store for you this month...

Sly and the Family Drone
Wild, energetic, groove heavy percussive drone noise
http://www.myspace.com/slythefamilydrone

"This was one of the most unique performances we've seen in a while. Utilising a three person drum kit and speaker stack, Sly and the Family Drone reduce music to it's bare essentials, a primal orchestra of drum rhythms and drone noise. Their reductionist take on music is literal, they split their drum kit to it's singular base units, passing individual drums and snares to the audience who maintain the beat while they free themselves for more noise and freestyle mayhem. Their show unfolds like a temporal art narrative on entropy. In the beginning they start physically in space as a tight musical unit of drums and speakers, a high pitched whine fills the air, layers of noise and distorted vocals slowly fill the room and the percussion starts to find it's beat. Then they beat the rhythms structured and regular seemingly into forever, until, eventually everything starts to breakdown into chaos and noise. By the end of their set their drums and equipment are scattered, the remains of their music lying bare across the floor."
