This is how we rock and/or roll, bitches. Convex Mancave - Live at the Banshee Labyrinth, 30th December.
I’m not sure what it says about me that my idea of being confrontational is to play a gig facing away from the audience. Whatever, this was hella fun, especially with the visuals.
Book us for your obnoxious noise gig please?

Matthew Collings - Splintered Instruments
Alright, alright, so the only place you could buy the fucking thing was at the album launch shows in November. Alright, alright, alright, so I first heard the buggering thing well over a year and a half ago. ALRIGHT, I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT THE ARTWORK IS.
Although Splintered Instruments is obviously eclipsed by Collings’ stellar work in the borderline-genius sonic trailblazers Convex Mancave, whose superlative Dance of the Mancavettes EP stole the show entirely in 2012, it contains musical elements favourable to me. These include swirling shoegaze guitar, gigantic-sounding compressed, No-Lite No Sound-esque drums, and lava-like flows of glacial Icelandicness.
In a rare burst of sincerity for today, let me just say that the talented bugger has created a wonderful, wonderful record, and if you miss it you’re insane. That’s if you ever get a chance to get your hands on a bleeding copy…
We’ll try not to be shit etc.
Tomorrow.

Mr Lewis over at The Tidal Wave Of Indifference has been very nice about Convex Mancave during a splendidly entertaining interview with us today.
“This is music to be absorbed. Don’t even think about doing anything else while it’s on – it just won’t work.”
Convex Mancave - Dance Of The Mancavettes
New EP now up for free download HERE! This is a shoegazey tour de force and our most accessible output for sure. It’s a lyricless concept EP about Carly Rae Jepsen discovering that what she does is a cancer on the human race via listening to the first Suicide album. Miss Jepsen then tries to rectify her errors by making terrifying two-chord noise music and thus goes a fraction of the way towards redemption.
Recorded live in our living room, July 2012.
Enjoi!
