News The Neu Bulletin (31st January 2013)

Every day of the week, Neu gives you a choice show and a selection of new music tips, all in the name of exposing you to something new and exciting.

If there’s a gig that’s worth heading to, we’ll tell you all about it, and if there’s a song you need in your life, we’ll make sure it doesn’t fly under the radar. It’s the Neu Bulletin.

THE GIG
Teleman - Sticky Mikes Frog Bar, Brighton


The exciting new Teleman project - formed of members from Pete and the Pirates, RIP - is giving hope to all the P&TP fans who thought a little chunk of happiness had left them forever upon seeing the band calling it quits. Brighton welcomes the guys in following on from their recent ‘Cristina’ single.

THE SONG
Turtle - The Opposite Of Low


If you spend half your time basking in Luke Abbott’s ‘Holkham Drones’ or the more excitable, industrial sound of Factory Floor and Blondes, Glasgow producer Jon Cooper is your new musical obsession in waiting. As Turtle, he’s displayed a wide-ranging debut EP, the highlight of which comes in ‘The Opposite Of Low’, which, you might have guessed, means ‘high’. The word ‘high’ is jumbled up in a fleeting flurry of harsh, jerky electronics. It’s tense and it’s excitable and for the most part, completely brilliant.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
Deathbeams - Bromance


Did you hitch yourself up to our final ‘Hello 2013’ show at The Old Blue Last last night? Did you happen to stumble onto a big thick wall of fuzz and face-melting riffs? That’d be Deathbeams. Here’s a ‘rough demo’ of their beautifully titled ‘Bromance’ track. It’s harsh and scuzzy but beneath all the rough-edged rabidness is a proper old fashioned song.
