Desolate Spools – is the DIY record label of critically acclaimed pioneering electronic art collective (and friends of The Trades) the ECCENTRONIC RESEARCH COUNCIL.
Over the past few months ERC producers Dean Honer (all seeing I/Imonster) and Adrian Flanagan (The Moonlandingz) have invited a handful of new eccentric electronic pop artists to their analog lair in Sheffield to produce up some tracks for them which will be released in to the Parish on Friday November 12th in the form of a compilation album titled ‘The Eccentronic Research Council presents: Wayward Freaks from a synthetic Street’ and to celebrate its release they will be hosting some Desolate Spools showcase events featuring some of these great new artists and one place they will be stopping over with their charabanc of electronic pop misfits is the TRADES CLUB.
This friday night. Friends of the Trades the ECCENTRONIC RESEARCH COUNCIL host a showcase for some new wonky electronic pop artists they have produced and with whom they are releasing on their own DESOLATE SPOOLS imprint.
Unfortunately for personal reasons original headliners Adult Entertainment have had to pull out of this Friday’s event.. However, as a unique one off performance Adrian Flanagan (Moonlandingz/Eccentronic Research Council/Adult Entertainment) & Oliver Harrap (International Teachers Of Pop drummer) have agreed to join Desolate Spools resident electronic psych garage artist WET MAN on synth & drums for his closing set.
Fresh on the bill is an eccentric mustachioed man who lives on a boat at Canvey Island who goes under the name of DAMP CARPET, he was recently described by some ‘famous magazine’ as Ivor Cutler doing techno via Go Kart Mozart, or in short. ACE’.
Opening the night will be the artists known as DIMITRI – a mysterious man, a deep thinking man, a man who is trying to sell a nightclub in Rotherham, Uk. He will be bringing you great songs, romance, slides, videos, dance, Numchuck demonstrations and will probably try to sell you a nightclub in Rotherham.
Dj’s between the bands are the legendary OUTERNATIONAL YORKSHIRE who play eccentric global music you can dance too..and local boys THE LOUNGE SOCIETY will be closing the night with some of their favourite bangers to keep you on the dancefloor late in to the night.
