Flange Circus + Bjørn Felle + Cynthia’s Periscope

Analoguetrash presents…

Flange Circus bring their unique brand of hauntronica – an unnerving concoction of electronics and the phantasmagorical – back to Manchester this May. Support comes from Bjørn Felle and Cynthia’s Periscope.

 

Line-up

Flange Circus

Expect neo-kraut stompers, drones, industrialism, horror soundtracks, channelled samples, spectraltechno, megalithic slow burners, and boggart beats. Flange Circus live shows involve (analogue) electronics, haunting visuals, and often (bird) masks, seeking to both disorientate audiences and make them dance.

Bjørn Felle

Sitting on a branch with a Game Boy and a cup of earl grey, Bjørn Felle takes pot-shots at narcissists with an idiosyncratic electronic sound inspired by 80s synthpop and punk, 90s techno, house and indie grunge, the odd 16-bit video game soundtrack, and a healthy dose of psychedelia.

Cynthia’s Periscope

Confessional weirdo pop from Manchester, varying from melodic and tender to brutal and cathartic.

Their newly released futuristic concept EP Algorithm Gods combines influences from synth-pop to metalcore. Lo Rays has been featured on BBC Radio 1, and they are fresh from playing their biggest shows to date supporting VUKOVI.

To celebrate the release of her acclaimed debut album ‘All Those Things I Thought I Knew’, singer-songwriter and producer emzae visits Manchester for her debut headline gig with support from the wonderful Factory Acts and The Junta.
A one-woman pop powerhouse, emzae’s live show balances an energy that is both intimate and laced with anecdotes, with songs that transcend the capacity of the venues she loves to call home.
Utilising live samples, looping, captivating vocals and plenty of sparkles to tell the epic story behind a project 6 years in the making and entirely written, produced, mixed and released by herself, this is not one to be missed.
