Event Description


HEALTH with Pictureplane

Now Wavers,

No, this is not an event about people’s health in face of a swine flu epedemic, this is…

HEALTH (http://www.myspace.com/healthmusic), one of the most uncompromising live bands on the planet are back to play live for Now Wave, after their intense, brutal, sell out show back in April…we’re totally syked for this!

For those of you that were there at the April show or have had the pleaseure of seeing HEALTH live before will know, this is going to be immense!

HEALTH are the new frontier of ‘noise rock’, formed in 2005, HEALTH self recorded their debut album in the now legendary Los Angeles all ages venue ‘The Smell’.
This time round they will be promoting material from their second album, ‘Get Color’ which is due for release on September 8th on Lovepump United.

According to Pitchfork Get Color “sounds like a party where Lightning Bolt’s playing at one end of the room and Giorgio Moroder is studiously banging out psych-disco masterpieces at the other…” and this is true, HEALTH seem to have embraced their remixed dancefloor tinged alter ego’s ‘HEALTH/DISCO’ and melded this sound with their trademark unabashed noise to create one hell of an album.

Get Color was recorded straight onto 2" analogue tape to accomodate HEALTH’S distorted sonic outbursts which, according band member John Famiglietti means “you can be as loud and abrasive as you want, and the more brutal it gets it just feels good to hear.” as opposed to the brittle spikes of digital recording.

Rough Trade said: “Get Color is an exuberant proclaimation of noise, rock and electronic splendour”

And that’s not all…support comes from fellow Lovepump labeller and one man party machine Travis Egedy aka:
‘PICTUREPLANE’ (http://www.myspace.com/pictureplane) .

PICTUREPLANE has already been touring right accross the USA with HEALTH and now he will follow them over to Europe and the UK.

PICTUREPLANE has remixed the likes of CRYSTAL CASTLES, HEALTH, FUTURE ISLANDS etc and now he is releasing an album of his own on titled DARK RIFT.

At first glance you may think that PICTUREPLANE’S huge, glittery, lurching grooves wouldn’t fit in opening a show for a band such as HEALTH but when ace blog New Ears (http://www.newearsmanchester.blogspot.com/) caught up with him he had this to say about it:
“I think the dynamic of our sound, while being totally different, really works well together in a live setting. They would call me the party starter. I was like a hype man or something before their sets, getting the kids ready to freak out. It meshed really well.”
