ICEAGE




One Inch Badge are proud to present an evening of intense, noise filled magnificence. ICEAGE are playing at The Green Door Store on November 30th.


Be prepared to see a band described as "mixing the black atmosphere of goth, the wild-limbed whoosh of hardcore, and the clangor of post-punk. It's a feat made all the more impressive by one very important intangible: energy"


TICKETS ON SALE 27TH JULY





Formed while at school in Copenhagen aged 12, they quickly became a vital part of the city's heavy music scene. It doesn’t do any good to cite influences, rather, Iceage mixes punk, post-punk, Goth and hardcore as if they invented it.

The band will be arriving in Brighton this November, to bloodysome noses and getting everyone from The New Yorker to VICE magazine very, very excited.

Their shows are still notoriously physical, sometimes aggressive, often destructive and always fun. You may get pushed around. Deal with it.

OM

One Inch Badge are proud to present OM playing an intense gig at The Cooler, Bristol in September!





The band's live performances are of a devotional nature. Their 2007 concert in the city of Jerusalem spanned over five and a half hours. Cisneros' unmistakable chants address processes of mind, psychic reality, astral and causal planes of being, and the nature of the soul.

Om has played numerous international festivals, some of which are: All Tomorrow's Parties, Dour, Donau, Supersonic, Roadburn, Primavera, Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville, Wire Adventures in Modern Music, ArthurBall, ArthurNights, Wall of Sound, Le Lieu Unique, SXSW, X Avant, and No-Fi UK.

COLLEGE (live) + DRIVE (film)

In November Colston Hall 2 in Bristol will host an incredible double bill with a live performance from College coupled with a screening of Drive.




French electronic producer David Grellier aka College was responsible for one of the stand out tracks from the incredible soundtrack of the 2011 film. Directed by Nicholas Winding Refn (who received a best director at Cannes for his troubles) and featuring man of the moment Ryan Gosling with Carey Mulligan Drive has become an instant classic.

This is a must for music fans and film buffs alike!




College (live) + Drive (film)
We are extremely pleased to announce this very special performance from French electronic producer COLLEGE, followed by a screening of Nicolas Winding Refn's award winning* film DRIVE, for which COLLEGE provided the song "A Real Hero".
Take your seat for an evening of cutting-edge, forward-thinking, hypnotic beats and ultra-slick bass, before watching the perfect cinematic accompaniment starring Ryan Gosling, and featuring Christina Hendricks.

PEAKING LIGHTS
Peaking Lights (ex Rahdunes, Numbers) are a US duo who make floating electronic pulses, controlled feedback, tape loops, organ, synth, guitar, and vocal harmonies layered into waves of four track noise pop goodness. The perfect soundtrack to walking in mysterious places, haunted neighborhoods, lost river banks, and bike rides at night.

COMPETITION TIME!

 
In October we've got FIELD MUSIC coming to The Haunt. The boys are touring on the back of their most recent album "Plumb" described as a mix between ELO and The Beatles and scoring 4/5 in MOJO amongst many, many other glowing reviews.

To celebrate their arrival we're giving away one of our treasured copies of 'Plumb' and a couple of tickets to the show, but you're gonna have to work for 'em. The ever changing line-up centres around Tyneside brothers Peter and David Brewis, but which other Sunderland band did Peter Brewis drum for in their early stages?

WHY?

We are proud to announce an awesome couple of shows with the highly acclaimed band WHY?



To celebrate the release of their new album we will be hosting two shows in October at The Old Market Brighton and Electric Ballroom London!

Get your tickets now to ensure you are not left out!
BRIGHTON


WHY?

Everyone comes into their own at different times. For WHY?, most agree that this happened across 2008 and 2009 with a pair of oddly engrossing stunners—the tightly rhythmic Alopecia and its quieter, kinda country cousin Eskimo Snow—which turned the oft-boxed music world on its hella gross cauliflower ear. High marks were awarded by the coolest of customers as the band momentarily swelled to five with the induction of Fog guys Andrew Broder (shred) and Mark Erickson (boom). When they finally came off of the road, WHY? set themselves to humbler tasks: turning out intimate tunes for lucky fans (via a Golden Ticket mail-order merch contest) and intricate beats for rapper Serengeti's praised Family & Friends LP.

Now, it happens to be 2012, so there's a new EP called Sod in the Seed and a new LP, their fifth.

EL-P

One Inch Badge are proud to announce not one, not two but three shows for rap icon EL-P in September!



Following the release of his new solo album Cancer For Cure we're going to be putting the man up for a few days in September. He'll be at The Haunt in Brighton on the 13th, The Fleece in Bristol on the 16th and Academy 3, Manchester on the 19th.

Check out the Facebook events and get your tickets from the links below:




EL-P

Independent rap icon El-P released his long awaited new solo album Cancer For Cure, at his new home Fat Possum on May 22, 2012.

The new album marks his first full length rap album since 2007’s critically acclaimed I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, though El-P’s rap trajectory has been on a steady ascent following a prolific year that saw high profile appearances on Das Racist’s mixtape and debut album, a hugely buzzed Adult Swim single “Drones Over BKLYN”, a verse (which made Stereogum’s top 10 guest verses of the year) on one of the year’s biggest online hits, Mr Muthafuckin’ eXquire’s “Huzzah”, among several other honors.
