Things to do on Friday: Arctic Circle Single Launch and 1927’s Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

That’s quite a long title.

Those are the two things I’m doing on Friday night.  1927 are at the Tobacco Factory this week with Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, which I haven’t seen, but by all accounts is rather smashing, so I’m off on Friday.  And then after that, it’s the Arctic Circle single launch.  Here are the details:

Qu Junktions presents
Arctic Circle + Munch Munch
with Katapulto + Illegal Seagull DJs
at Bristol County Sports Club
Fri 10th Oct 2008 / 7.30pm / £6 adv from Bristol ticket shop, Here Shop, 20th century flicks/ £7 on door

This is a show of pleasures rad, rare, guilty and racy.

Arctic Circle do it in a big but humble/jumble blaze of glory. They refresh the spirit with their cultish brand of DIY. They helped put the night together to celebrate the release of their new 7-incher out on Stitch Stitch records, a double A-side featuring ‘Prancing Pearl’ and ‘Mothers Ruin’ – both typically upbeat AC tracks. Munch Munch mess with songs in a delicious twin drum, freeform way. They have been touring mad this summer, proving a hit at indie, dance, prank and part nights. Take stock. Katapulto proves that off kilter keyboards are central to this night – he is singular madcap fun. Eccentronica indeed. Illegal Seagull bind it all together or just let it all hang out.
