Contraptions + West Echo Three
June 19 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Contraptions, are a cutting-edge musical fusion of chaos and melody, hailing from the steel city of dreams Sheffield. Born from the desire to push musical boundaries and redefine genres together they create a unique sound. They have the big riffs and hooks aplenty all harmoniously intertwined with the vibrant, infectious sounds of wider influences. You might think Tool, System Of A Down and Primus but this is music that goes beyond into Zappa like levels of flamboyant invention.With their relentless wall of distorted guitars, intricate horn melodies and searing vocals they make prog-metal sound like the most fun you can have with your clothes on so hold on to your hats, its going to be a wild ride!
“If you’re happy to leave purism at the door Contraptions are a chaotic coming together of all sorts of sounds that probably shouldn’t work together and yet absolutely do.” – Jarred Up
“Contraptions contort enough genres through their maniacally adrenalised sonic signature to become indefinable themselves. The real feat isn’t just drawing from a stylistic smorgasbord so wild it borders on unhinged; it’s the way Contraptions threads it all together without a stitch coming loose.” – A & R Factory
Oldham’s West Echo Three are a metallic digital rock duo who deliver some balls to the wall rock excitement for the modern age. With their winning mix of lo-fi beats, top drawer guitar shredding and snarled vocals they have gained a reputation as a formidable live act, comfortable on any stage.
The band’s passion for live excellence translates to their studio output, too, with their one EP and three singles (so far) receiving praise for their signature approach to songcraft .If you like your rock bang up to date with the kind of innovative mix of punk, metal and electronica that make NIN seem like sedate old Grandpas ready for the retirement home then you’re in for a treat.

“West Echo Three are cut from a different cloth when compared to most indie-rock music.” – Analogue Trash
