WASTEYOURSELF & GRINGO RECORDS PRESENTS

Floodit - An evening of live music & screen printing at The Art Organisation with

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Live Music from:

PART CHIMP - http://www.myspace.com/partchimp
Back in Nottingham for the first time in over two years, in support of their new album, "Thriller". My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr play loud but their tunes have never really had the heaviness to match their mammoth volume. Part Chimp, however, match their cacophonous sound levels with the weightiest rock imaginable. Their records are released by Rock Action Records (founded and maintained by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai).

SOUVARIS - http://www.myspace.com/souvaris
Souvaris are a 5 piece rock band from Nottingham, UK, comprising of two guitarists, bass, synths and drums. Now nine years old, the band has spent the best part of a decade building their reputation as one of the UK’s most inventive and versatile acts. This autumn will see a new split release with Bordeaux’s excellent art-rockers Sincabeza on Gringo Records. Having played countless shows with bands ranging from Do Make Say Think to Polar Bear, The Shipping News to Thee More Shallows, Fly Pan Am to old friends Explosions in the Sky, Souvaris deliver a live show that is as entertaining as it is subtle, as direct as it is layered.

BAD GUYS - http://www.myspace.com/badguysfuckingrock
BAD GUYS played their first gig at ATP curated by The Melvins and Mike Patton. Neither knew BAD GUYS were gonna play but they did it anyway. You ever seen someone crowdsurf in a living room? BAD GUYS have. You ever seen Jared from The Melvins force his way through your window to get to your gig? BAD GUYS have. You ever trashed a place so bad it needs to be rebuilt from scratch? BAD GUYS have.

GUILTY PARENTS - http://www.myspace.com/guiltyparents
Punk trio knocking out snarling garage punk which'll make your nuts swing taking in influences like Die Kreuzen, Make-Up, The Mummies and the Bad Form.

Special guest DJ:

FREE ENTRY


WAX STAG
8-bit electronic joy with live powerhouse drumming = YES. Music to dance (in a car park) to. Check out the youtube video below, and then tell me you don't want to throw some awkward shapes all over that shit.

SOUVARIS
Once described as "clown jazz", expect rhythmic, textured and slightly silly grooveable rock - part Tortoise, part Fela Kuti, part Supertramp. Not as bad as that sounds - rather good in fact.


THE TALL POPPIES

This event coincides with European Mobility Week and aims to demonstrate the versatility of car parks as urban spaces. Not only shall fine live music be at your disposal but you'll also have the opportunity to sample the:

URBAN GARDENING
