kirkt Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Possessing the guts to put your neck out and plant it firmly on the chopping block - how the term 'different' is understood by Merthyr Tydfil 5-piece MIDASUNO. Considered as "One of Wales's best kept secrets" MIDASUNO were one of the chosen eight Welsh acts to perform at In The City Unsigned 2001 (a year following the band's conception) in Manchester, and having shared stages with the likes of A Perfect Circle, Cave-In, The Darkness, Funeral For A Friend, Hell is for Heroes, The Wildhearts, Million Dead and LostProphets - MIDASUNO are ready and willing to carve their own niche and add their name to the upper echelons of rock's hierarchy. When allowed to speak for itself - the band's music has generated a plethora of responses suggesting a wide-ranging possible influences - each new listener has supplied their own varied take on the origins of MIDASUNO's sound. The band insists on the disregard for hyphenated sub-genre placement. MIDASUNO are a ROCK band - a term associated with longevity and allows the band to possess a general descriptor to ensure no listeners of music in the current climate of guitar music are alienated by the ill-effects of pigeon holing. Combining a dark lyrical bent with a blend of British rock, US alternative and underground with a spattering of punk MIDASUNO avoid comparison by forging an amalgam of the above-mentioned into a their own brand of noise - helping them pick up 'Best Unsigned Act' at the 2002 Welsh Music Awards as a result. Possessing an unquenchable thirst for action in the live foray and carrying a naturally unpredictable, passionate, and intense performance, MIDASUNO are band whom the notion '....play every show like it's your last" was made for. A performance which on numerous occasions has attempted to be captured during Sessions for Radio 1 Evening Session (In Wales) and broadcasts on their native BBC Radio Wales. Having released a Stuart Richardson (LostProphets fame) produced single 'The Art Of Fear' on Cardiff's Cascade Records last year, the band then followed up with the mini-album 'When Bulls Play God' on Lockjaw Records, which has earned plaudits (tracks featured on both Rock Sound and Metal Hammer compilations) and received rave reviews from recognized sources such as Metal Hammer (8/10), Rock Sound (7/10), Terrorizer (8/10) Big Cheese Magazine (4/5), BBC Music Online (4/5) as well as published and online-based fanzines. MIDASUNO are about to embark on the campaign to promote thier full-length debut album, lovingly entitled 'Songs In The Key Of F**K', featuring forthcoming single 'A Machine, The Rhythm Thief' which hits the streets this July as a free download-only single, complete with some typically skewed cover versions for good measure and accompanying press campaign with the bands first promo video in tow. "Songs..." will then drop in the early Autumn, to coincide, the band will be performing over 90 shows over the UK during the Summer / Autumn months. "Songs In The Key Of..." will be the first MIDASUNO release to feature new guitarist / vocalist Chris Morgan and most recently enrolled Live FX / Sampler / Keyboardist Lyndon Jones. With the record in it's final stages of completion at Strongbox Studios, Penarth, with producer Nick Lloyd (Sparks Lights & Flames, Ipsofacto, DirtyPerfect, Kaptain Black) at the production helm, and mix assistance from Charlie Forester (REM, Turin Brakes, The Crocketts) early previews have had comparisons thrown around - "Manics Holy Biblesque punk/strutting meets Muse in a dark alley readying for a knife-fight to the death with At The Drive In, Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, Queens Of The Stone Age and The Wildhearts" MIDASUNO have pushed their envelope further to create a standout rock album of 2005, and if string sections and multi-band choirs can sit alongside industrial beats and samples with furious slabs of guitar and a cowbell(!) over the space of 10 tracks all fighting to be the next single, then you know you are onto a winner. What the prize is, nobody knows..... The first taster of the forthcoming release can be found on ORGAN RADIO 21 - THIS IS WHY I BOOKMARKED YOU, released on ORG Records in January 2005, which features an exclusive demo version of 'Taste The Virus', an alternative take to the version that appears on "Songs...".

ben_1903 Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 ...thats a cool name for an album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkt Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 ...thats a cool name for an album.Some unfortunate news:It is with deep regret that Midasuno are reluctantly forced to cancel the north England / Scotland leg of the tour, unfortunately this includes this Friday's Aberdeen show. Whilst travelling to Tuesday (last) night's Sheffield show, the band's bus broke down and the consequence repairs are in excess of 500, the van needs a new gearbox system. The band were unable to drive the bus and their only alternative was to call for breakdown recovery, the policy only covers one recovery journey - the band had no real option but to return home to south Wales in the hope of repairing the vehicle and continuing with the tour. However, the costs are too great, the subsequent hire of another van plus fuel and the repairs of the band's own van now make the north England / Scotland leg totally unfeasible. The tour support band 'Along Came Man' (Mighty Atom records) are of course still able to play the show and will arrive as scheduled/agreed, Along Came Man filled in as headliners last night in Sheffield and the show worked very well.door times will still be the same. There may be a 4th band. Watch this space. Door tax will now be 3. Unless the band we have in mind to replace can do it, in which case it will be 4.
