No Bones presents - EGYPTIAN HIP HOP // IS TROPICAL // YUCK - Sat 6th Feb ― Wednesday 27, 2010
Two underground and blog hyped acts and one relatively new band that will be doing some great stuff this year. London trio Is Tropical wear masks. They are the kind of dudes who enlist a Mystery Jet to help them bash out a rampaging Fela Kuti cover. They also steal boats. After the jump they talk cocktails, Jim Morrison and sonic booms. Manchester youngsters Egyptian Hop Hop were Guardians new band of the day in October 2009 they sound like erm, well not Hip Hop or Egyptian, maybe a bit like Quando Quango or Klaxons on methadrone, download their track ‘Rad Pitt’ its pretty er…Rad? Yuck is the new off shoot from members of CAJUN DANCE PARTY
Doors 9pm / £3 on the door

EVERYTHING EVERYTHING announce UK tour and play Nation of Shopkeepers ― Wednesday 29, 2009
EVERYTHING EVERYTHING (LIVE)
Monday 19th October / Doors 7.30pm / Free Entry
“Quirky” and “complex” are qualities you either value in pop, or you despise. Everything Everything, four musicians who released their debut single Suffragette Suffragette at the tail end of 2008 and operate from Manchester but hail as individuals from Newcastle and Kent, make shamelessly quirky, complex pop. We say “shamelessly” because they openly admit to being a fan of such an underrated latterday exponent of everything-at-once pop – you might say everything-everything pop – as Max Tundra, the highly idiosyncratic musician who records for Domino and whose every song sounds like several different acts from several different eras jamming on Jools Holland’s head (we wish). Everything Everything are that rarity – a band you could quite reasonably describe as Tundra-esque. It probably won’t happen again - taken from The Guardian’s ‘Band of the Day’ column

Monotonix are a garage rock band from Tel Aviv, Israel. They released their debut EP in 2008 and have toured the United States and Europe, including notable appearances at SXSW. Dissatisfied with the state of the music scene in their hometown of Tel Aviv, the Israeli trio Monotonix formed in November 2005. The band, which has grown out of the disbanded Mono Addicted Acid Man, consists of singer Ami Shalev, guitarist Yonatan Gat, and drummer Haggai Fershtman (Ran Shimoni filled in for Fershtman on some tours), started recording, influenced by Led Zeppelin, the Sonics, and Thin Lizzy. Shortly after forming, they began playing shows at local venues. They frequently set up on the floor among the crowd, playing shows raucous enough to result in the power being shut off or the police called in.
In 2008, the band signed to Drag City, where they have released Body Language, and have continued their all-year touring.
