Freq reviews Gnod + Anthroprophh Bristol show

Gnod / Anthroprophh (live at The Old Malt House)
Bristol
29 April 2015
The no-show of Shit & Shine was a bit of a disappointment but Anthroprophh wiped any dissatisfaction clean away with their deep-bellied spectral scream of speaker abuse.Anthroprophh live at The Old Malt House
Guitar that seemed to be constantly gnawing away at its leash, diving, spittingWedging their weapons into the speakers, it was a wholesome racket, all ill-tempered tilting extremes, suddenly poured out into a martial law of double drums, Gareth and Jesse smacking a strong rhythmic core to which Paul fed a sway of psychedelic serpents. A guitar that seemed to be constantly gnawing away at its leash, diving, spitting the convulsive.
Gnod live at The Old Malt HouseAn impossible to pin chaos that tore holes in a fixed stare of horizon or just flayed epileptically around.An energy contrasted later in some dark electrified cello, Alan trickling broken glass down its spine, as the tensile bows gathered, became destructive, kicked into tow with kettled percussives and a tensile toppling of keylines, forging towards a finale that literally ate into your head with pure satisfaction...

Echoes and Dust reviews Anthroprophh and Shit & Shine at Desert Fest
Some words on the recent Desert Fest.
Our two bands did us really proud, also worth mentioning was the stunning set by Bong!!
Shit and Shine
The first time I saw this band they played noise rock and had about 8 drummers. Now, here they are with just one drummer hitting one drum and two guys hidden by wigs hunched over all kinds of gizmos playing this dark techno music. It was just fucking weird, there was something oddly inviting about it though and made my brain warp and my mouth smile. The crowd could have probably done with being in a field holding a big fat pill in their bellies.
Anthroprophh
Anthroprophh are three seriously talented guys in their 40s who are hell bent on finding new ways on creating hypnotic rhythms that will chuck your brain in all manner of directions. It’s truly joyous watching them at work, a wonderful psychedelic episode that mashes your thoughts into a pathetic muddle. To finish, bassist Gareth got out his futuristic double bass and they mad this tantalising kraut noise, which morphed their set into a sonic miracle. They know exactly what they are doing. Class!

The Quietus reviews our Gnod + Anthroprophh show in Bristol
Gnod & Anthroprophh
Danny Riley attends a Buckfast-fuelled Rocket Recordings night in Bristol
There's a misconception that the Bristol music scene amounts to little more than beats and bass – a prolonged hangover from trip hop and dubstep; music for MDMA-bombing students and white people with dreadlocks. Yet for years there's been a strong undertow of music that exists outside the parameters of club-orientated 'bass music', a raft of labels and promoters who aim to bring something more idiosyncratic to the city. Invada have been doing well with their OST releases, whilst upstarts Howling Owl are making waves with their roster of noisy rock and electronic acts. Perhaps most visibly, local psych label Rocket Recordings have made the leap from relative obscurity with a runaway success in Goat.
Tonight's gig illustrates perfectly Bristol's healthy appreciation for alternatives to rumbly dance music, with what was originally to be a mighty triple-header of some of Rocket Recordings' finest bands: noisy kraut-droners Anthroprophh, sonic terrorists $hit & $hine and unfettered innerspace voyagers Gnod. Due to unfortunate technical difficulties, $hit & $hine have cancelled, but their absence is not to take the metaphorical shine of the event, a friendly BYOB (mainly Bring Your Own Buckfast) event in The Old Malt House studios. Organised by excellent promoters Cacophonous Sarcophagus, who have been putting together excellent bills of free electronics, demented psych and myriad hues of esoteric doom-drone in the crypt of Bristol's St Thomas the Martyr church for some time now, the night had an atmosphere of friendly inclusion, with members of Thought Forms and Beak> in attendance, and no doubt helped along by the plentiful supplies of shop-bought booze….

Interview with Goat ahead of tonight's show in Milan
Goat play their second show on their Italian tour tonight, this time in Milan with support from the great Mamuthones
Milan Zero interviewed the band and asked them for a list of their favourite tracks:
(roughly translated it reads)
Camber Sands, East Sussex, ATP Festival. The hall of the main stage was packed and we are at the peak of the celebrations for the one that, on paper, should be "the end of an era." On stage they are just climbed the Goat, the group most anticipated of all three days and the phenomenon of "psychedelic" the most explosive in recent years. The results of the Swedish collective is an exaltation of the voodoo groove which marks their withering and rightly acclaimed debut "World Music": too many people, dressed in clothes that evoke distant traditions and hidden behind tribal masks, beat on drums and jammano like Hawkwind (but not rude), while our eyes are mesmerized by the two singers dancing barefoot. "A collective ritual" - as we like to say these days - made of fuzz and rhythms primitivists, but with incitement to move our butts equal to that of the Chk Chk Chk. At the end of the concert, the Italian delegation to ATP is divided: those still in full cosmic trip and those who believe the show (and sound) of the Goat built too. We do not know whether they are really the heirs of an ancient tradition with origins in the Arctic Circle, only if they have learned well the lesson of Fela Kuti or if the history of the municipality where they live is a lie. We know, however, that with a live as spectacular - preceded by post-punk rhythms-acid-tribal Mamuthones, recently published by the same label of the Goat, Rocket Recordings - the "uppers" you may as well leave them at home.
While waiting for their live Italian, we asked the collective masked Rocket Recordings to select for us a bit 'of music that inspired them over the years. "Psychedelia transcendental", rarity and Swedish classics among the plays to get prepared for their incredible show ... To which we want to add a bit too 'exercise in the gym…
