    Pendulum are back for their first DJ show since November 2007. Since that last DJ show they've played ****** 2008, which was one of the
    highlights of the festival and the RDS in Dublin, where 4000 people were blown away with the live show. This time they are back on DJ
    duties and they know what they're doing when it comes to spinning the decks. The last 3 times they played Remedy all show were sell-outs so
    expect this one to be no different. Expect it to be noisy, lively and very busy. Bring it on!


    BIOG:
    Pendulum formed in their home-town of Perth (Western Australia) in 2002, when producers Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen teamed up with
    acclaimed local DJ Paul 'Elhornet' Harding. While their individual formative roots ranged from producing drum & bass, breakbeat and
    hardcore, to playing in metal and punk bands, their comparable talents proved an unstoppable force when they managed to single-handedly
    conquer the world of drum & bass in their first 12 months together.

    After selling more than 100,000 units of their debut artist album "Hold Your Colour", remixing for such respected artists as The Prodigy, being play-listed and featuring regularly on BBC Radio 1, all
    whilst continuing to tour the world over as DJs...Pendulum decided that was finally time to take things to the next level - performing
    live.

    The last 12 months have seen Pendulum retreat to the depths of the underground to work on their second album, and to hone and perfect
    their sound for the live arena.

    So apart from that, what the hell are Pendulum all about? In the words of the boys themselves...

    "We want our music to be an escape. While technology continues to constantly advance production techniques and (arguably) sound quality, something has been lost in the process - that original sense of self- escape, the idea of leaving yourself open to experience something you
    don't necessarily find in every-day life. That was the energy we picked up on and liked about electronic music when we first got into
    it. It felt like the same energy found with bands like Led Zeppelin and even The Beatles, and still occasionally today with bands like Tool, The Mars Volta, Queens Of The Stone Age and others.

    To us, it made perfect sense to combine the best of both worlds, but it had to be done in a way that didn't make it sound obvious. In the
    last 10 years you've had all these bands that tried to cross the bridge by recruiting a turntablist / using a synthesizer on their new single, or electronic artists who just threw an obvious guitar sample
    into a tune...but eventually it just came across as a gimmick or a bit cheesy. We thought we'd try and do it properly, because to us it still hasn't been done right and theres a lot of room for exploration.

    If you turn on the radio today you'll hear 20 tracks in a row describing someone's every-day life, or songs with a one-line catchphrase chorus about shaking your ass in the club - the production
    is usually great but when you look deeper, there's nothing behind it...it doesn't offer you anything past its face value. We want to hear something different and exciting, but the material we want to
    hear isn't getting made. Thats why we spend nearly every waking moment trying to create music that takes you out of this universe - for
    ourselves and anyone else who wants to listen."
