Comanechi
Limbo is very excited to be presenting a formidable double-headline bill featuring London’s incendiary COMANECHI going head to head with Glasgow’s equally indefatigable UNITED FRUIT, with Edinburgh’s own ascendant stars, VASQUEZ, returning to Limbo armed with a live set of uncompromisingly fierce rawk by way of killer support.
‘HOLY SHIT! That’s awesome… Will be a carnal affair.’ (Vasquez’s drummer, Jon)
Quite.
The Black Spring DJs will be joining the dots before, between and after the bands as usual.
N.B. £6 (early bird until Sat 6th April) / £8 (advance) / more on the door! Doors: 8pm.
United Fruit
COMANECHI – CRITICAL PRAISE:
‘Comanechi are extraordinary. Their debut long player crams more wayward excitement, visceral thrills and variety than you could hope for from a post-millennial punk record, manna from heaven’ (BBC Music)
‘Comanechi’s genius is encapsulated with their unique ability to tantalize and torment within a single
breath’ (NME, 9/10)
‘The perfect balance of sweetness and aggression’ (Loud & Quiet, 9/10)
‘Kicks hugely enjoyable and cathartic ass’ (Time Out, 4/5)
UNITED FRUIT – CRITICAL PRAISE:
‘Fault Lines is an record of twists and turns at breakneck speed and dangerous volume, there will be few albums as invigorating as this in 2011′ (Drowned in Sound)
‘Fault Lines plays like a broader attack on the senses – touched by the kind of dynamism that marked out Trail of Dead’s Source Tags & Codes as an adrenaline shot to the heart of a dying genre’ (The Skinny)
‘I’ve seen them live. They are outstanding, really tight, really in your face. If you like Jesus Lizard, Shellac, maybe even at the Drive-in then you’ll love these guys. Go and see them live and get the EP Mistress, Reptile Mistress!’
(Vic Galloway, BBC Radio Scotland)
‘Taking notes from the rawness and haunting melody of grunge era noisemakers such as Sonic Youth, Pixies, and Shellac to name a few, Glasgow four-piece, United Fruit, are currently doing the rounds on the city’s underground scene and making a lasting impression as well as one hell of a noise […] barely a year in, the bands’ momentum seems only to be picking up’

‘Bring the noise!’ (Chuck D, Public Enemy)
