65 DAYS OF STATIC supported by HALVES and YOUTHMOVIES
Venue: The Button Factory (formerly Temple Bar Music Centre)
Date: 3rd November
Time: 19.30
Tickets: €15

After playing up a storm at Electric Picnic this summer, Sheffield post-rockers 65 Days of Static are bringing their melodic, electronic sound back to Ireland on 3rd November, when they play the newly refurbished, newly titled Button Factory (formerly the Temple Bar music centre). Described by The Guardian as "the only band around to make Muse look restrained", 65 Days of Static combine post-rock and math-rock (music with peculiar time-signatures) to produce a mostly instrumental barrage of guitar, electronica, glitches, violins and drums (both live and sampled). The result it intriguing on CD, and truly captivating live.

65 Days of Static will be supported by Dublin-based Irish/Polish post-rock outfit Halves and Oxford art-metallists Youthmovies. Halves have been causing quite a stir since the launch of their debut EP "Take Exact Revenge" in May, playing their fourth gig at Electric Picnic and their fifth at Hard Working Class Heroes in September. Wearing their influences clearly on their sleeves, the band creates ambient soundscapes with delicate vocals that has been described as "the voice of Radiohead with the music of Sigur Ros". They'll be joined onstage joined by visual DJs Slipdraft, who mix background images live to create a unique visual show each time.

Youthmovies are slightly less haunting, but no less brilliant! Having played with the likes of Mission to Burma, Biffy clyro and Bloc Party, this slightly-scary (in a good way) genre-splicing quintent have a knack for ranging music that ranges from beaty space-rock to volatile, skin-peeling hardcore - often within the same song. Described by Keerang!as "clever, original and sadistically unpredictable" Youthmovies are geuniunely unique brillant and totally weird!
