Bands:

Cat on Form (http://www.diskant.net/catonform/)
Hailing from Brighton, Cat on Form are the first English band we’ve had over. And we’re damn lucky! Their debut album, “Structure and Fear” will be out in July on Southern Records.

They have manic, loud and individualistic performances that demand reaction. This promises to be an incredible show.

One journalist commented that their music is “the sound Fugazi would make if you turned them all into dogs, starved them for a week and then shoved them in a room full of, well, cats”.

Tracer AMC (http://www.traceramc.co.uk/)
Belfast-based Tracer AMC have been one of the leading instrumental bands on this island for the past few years. Having played previously played with the likes of June of 44 and Fugazi, they make atmospheric bass and guitar melodies. Since the release of their pelican E.P. on Errol Records the band has expanded it's array of sounds to include glockenspiels and violins. Currently working on further material, the Ballroom is delighted to have these guys around.

Puget Sound
Puget Sound are certainly one of the best punk bands to have come from Dublin in past few years. As one web-site said they were “formerly a "reggae punk" band their sound has definitely matured over the years – they now play really complex hc punk which has to be heard to be understood”. They’ve played in Germany, Britain, Holland and even Brazil. And they’re in the process of releasing a new album at the moment.

Wormholes (http://www.groov.ie/memorycells/thewormholes.html)
Wormholes have been at the forefront of avant-garde rock in Ireland for several years now. Albums such as “Chick Dig Scars” and “Parajuana” are among the best of independent releases to have come from Ireland. They are also instrumental in putting together the Lazybird club.

They’re getting back to playing more live shows and have re-shaped their sound. We’re proud and happy as hell to have these guys playing a Ballroom.

"hello everyone

i'm really sorry to do this but we've decided to pull the remaining dates of our tour for june/july. our drummer eva has seriously damaged her back and couldn't play the whole tour. we did the first few shows with a replacement drummer and we had drum machines/replacement drummers lined up for the rest of the tour, but we just felt everything was a bit weird and not right. we've decided to try and move the whole tour to september so if people are still interested in having us play that would be awesome.

i just want to say again we're all really sorry for this, we hate pulling shows and we stressed over this all day today thinking what we could do, but we just realised it would be bad for us to do the shows without all four of us being involved. we sincerely hope it doesn't leave people out of pocket and we really appreciate the time people have put into organising these shows for us. please please get in touch if you're happy to have us back in september, we're gonna sort out the dates this week.

apologies again,
steve + cat on form "

Fred Durst and Mr Guy from Linkin Park might be able to recommend a good Chiropracter...


Seriously though sorry to hear that hope she's better soon!

Looking forward to seeing the band later on this year
