More Ultrazang Footage!

As promised, here's more footage from the final night of the Ultrazang tour that finished last week.

Enjoy!

Ultrazang on Tour!

Regular readers of this blog are now well aware that my favourite music night held anywhere in the UK is Ultrazang, an alternative music night held in Suffolk.

Well, I'm happy to say that Ultrazang is on the move, with a 3 date mini-tour this month. Ipswich, Cambridge and Norwich, the Zang crew will be bringing their good vibes to all corners of East Anglia.

Featuring Ultrazang regulars Butterfly, The Scissors and Killamonjambo, the tour will see the Zang return to its roots, playing PJ McGintys in Ipswich on 19th July. It will then debut the following night in Cambridge at The Man on The Moon. The tour concludes on 21st July in Norwich, at the very shiny Epic Studios.

With a bunch of awesome support acts, fire-based entertainment and no doubt people dressed as banana's, it's about time the word of Zang was known UK wide. Europe-wide. Worldwide and beyond.

Details of tickets for the tour are here. See you down the front (banana costume optional)

John Peel & The Zang...

...surely a match made in heaven?

Not far off.

I'd not been to the John Peel CCA before, and what a great venue it is, perfect to host Ultrazang. It was Voodoo Trombone Quartet's first Zang, and from the way the audience were dancing, I don't think it will be the last.

The lighting was amazing and really leant itself to the psych openers Butterfly, and the swirly organ sounds of The Scissors. The VTQ set was a selection of our more ska-tinged songs (being a Zang veteran, I know what makes the people dance) and our new single 'Hello! Who Are You?'. We closed the night with our single B side 'Easy to Learn'.

The only slight downside to the gig was the Rob Castellani set, as the large hall magnified the sound of an audience intent on carrying on their conversations, to the point where Castellani had to have his on stage monitors turned up. There is a place in hell set aside for people who talk through quiet music sets, and to see people yakking their way through a truly astounding performance had my inner Doncaster bubbling to the surface. Luckily no-one got hurt.

A great line up, and a great single launch. Thanks to Chris for putting on another great show. And it's not just me who thinks so - check out this great review here
