I know there are a few people on this forum that are into this kind of instrumental music. These guys are really worth checking out-
www.myspace.com/russiancircles

It's their first visit to the UK, they've just played a few dates with Tool.

I'll be at the Exeter gig.

i just saw these guys the other day in leeds at the cockpit, i had just gone to watch one of the support bands i liked but russian circles were well ace.

great drummer.

I only came across Russian Circles the other day, and was quite impressed. They're playing the Underworld tomorrow, so I might pop along. Just a shame I missed their Water Rats gig the other night.

I saw them in exeter, got talking to them and the drummer put me and my buddy on the guest list for the high on fire gig in bristol. Both gigs were awesome, the exeter one was my favourite of the two because they played a new track which was great to hear after listening to their first (and only) album non-stop for the last year. I've never met such a hard working band and they're incredibly down to earth fellas.

I went to the Water Rats gig and I was absolutely blown away. After hearing the tracks on their MySpace I wasn't really prepared for them to be so heavy, especially with there only being three of them, but I was really impressed. Had a little chinwag with the guitarist afterwards and he seemed like a top bloke, I can't wish them enough success for the future. Definitely a band to keep your eye on over the coming months.

They're absolute loop-pedal monsters, I didn't realise how much they looped stuff until I saw them kicking their Headrush's on and off all the time. That's where their massive sound comes from.

Caught them in Swansea.

Criminally, the place was so far from rammed that i was having a hard time counting the people there to watch from those who were in the support bands.

F**king shame though they were beyond amazing.

I thought exactly the same thing, I assumed that the recordings were simply layered and that live they'd be more "stripped down" but all the looping really added another element to the show IMO.

Apparently it's all live loops on the record and not overdubs. They've got their looping skills nailed!

Blimey, that does surprise me. Although having said that, that might explain why the loops were so tight live!

for anyone who's interested, here's a link of them playing one of their new tunes [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmOR1I2Q-OI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmOR1I2Q-OI[/url]
