RAInBOw ARABIA / CATE LE BOnTHIS FrONTIEr NEEDS HErOES / ZACHArY CALE8pm £7 adv / £MOTD

With a penchant for global pop and psychedelic tribal beats, RAINBOW ARABIA have caught ears across the world. Inspiration for their debut album was found in between future-thinking contemporary club music (techno, hip-hop, dubstep) and the organic globe-trekking dance music of the last century (reggae, ragas, gamelan). Add an affection for 80s synth-pop and gothic influences like LOVE AND ROCKETS and OMD, and you have an interesting recipe that is utterly unclassifiable as it is repeatedly listenable.

WIBIDI is the new project founded by SUPER FURRY ANIMALS members Daf & Cian. For 3 consecutive days in August, Swn are bringing WIBIDI to 3 Cardiff venues.

59 year old, 400 album-releasing legend R. STEVIE MOORE was born in Nashville to ELVIS’ bass player. He started home recording in the 60s and releasing in the 70s, then a relentless nutjob stream of cassettes and CDRs followed: FREAK POP, MANGLED AOR, BOSSA NOVA, DOO-WOP, SPEAK & SPELL ELECTRONICS, BEATLES COVER ALBUMS – over 400 albums in all, thousands of songs coated in cranky, primitivist bedroom experimentalism. This is his first ever tour. If you’ve ever displayed even a passing interest in the ‘eccentric’ work of DANIEL JOHNSTON or BRIAN WILSON you have to be here.

DIVORCE initiated themselves into the noise, post-wave underground in 2008, playing riotous shows hallmarked with stage/crowd invasions and feral blasts of early-Swans-infected post-hardcore. The band have taken a break, gone through a line-up change and are now weirder and wilder – ‘Love Attack/Meating’ is a true double A-side from one of the fiercest bands to breathe on these shores.

From the tiny town of Lincoln comes the hard working, melodic punk rock quartet that is THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. A fusion of infectious heart-racing tempo songs and guitar heavy, anthemic numbers shows the band’s journey over the last few years and you can’t deny the feel-good positivity of the album.

FEED THE DJ8pm-12am £free entry

FEED THE DJ is a completely new concept. No longer do you have to sit and listen to what the DJ wants to play. You now Feed The DJ. Any style of music is cool, it’s all about YOU. You give the DJ a memory stick of tunes before 8pm (at least an hour’s worth), you book a timeslot (first come first served), the DJ plays your tunes for the hour, during which time you and your party get drinks promos for that hour. The DJ mix is then polished, uploaded online the next day, and you’re given instructions to download your own personal mix.
