Errors + BLK JKS

Dates: 16.4.2009. Formed in Glasgow in 2004 post-electro band Errors quickly set about making a name for themselves in their hometown on the back of a 3 track demo recorded in band member Simon's bedroom. Merging spiky new-wave guitars with deep bass-y Acid sounds and a knack for melody and pop hooks beyond their years, the four-piece hit the dancefloor running. Now under the wing of Mogwai who signed them to their Rock Action label Errors manage to retain the elements of new-wave and acid-house that marked their early releases and build on it; a merge of angular guitars, spiraling, euphoric synths and informed dance sounds underpinned by truly mesmerising beats and rhythms in expansive, ambitious style. Supporting them are South African new wave sensations BLK JKS who came to prominence in the US last year after a chance meeting with ber-producer Diplo who invited them over from Johannesburg. Subsequently landing on the cover of Fader and impressing at South by Southwest their debut Mystery EP was recorded in New York by Brandon Curtis of Secret Machines and is about to be released by Secretly Canadian.
