Wed 21st May with the amazing ZOMBIE ZOMBIE

- Irresistable Kraut rock style dark psche-disco mayhem. Zombie Zombie is a crazy scientist and musical project based in Paris city, France, lead by two people, professor Etienne Jaumet and Cosmicnewman (from Herman Dune) Using sound and rhythm to explore the feeling of fear growing deep inside you. "The provocative drumming and screams will make your heart beat faster, like in a horror movie, when your car won’t start, and someone’s trying to kill you"

“Zombie-Zombie layer motorik drumming, droning organs and synths, chiming glockenspiels and all manner of bleepy detail into a churning, prog-Kraut thrill-ride buffeted by malevolent winds and torn asunder with screams”

,P“Set over wobbly basslines, intermittent chirping, waves of theremin sounds, walls of distorted vocals and police sirens backed by angular disco beats, 'Driving This Road' could be a lost Can anthem.”

"Dance I said, Dance"

**********************************

Lofi Hifi has been the only refuge for indie dance, electonica, electro clash and cutting edge indie music in Exeter for longer than any of the current generation have been crack-whores. With the summer of 2006, fans of the night were grief stricken with the prospect of the night coming to an end when the pioneering Deey Jays that ran it, left.. However!!! There were nine intrepid, enthusiastic and talented young model types who said ..WAIT!!! WE WANT ELECTRONICA..AND INDIE..TOGETHER!!!.. who gladly took up the challenge of filling in where the last left off. We held our first night on 27th September, and it was bigger than myspace. If you were there, thank you very much. We now regularly hold parties at the Cavern Club in Exeter as well as plucking the cream of new British talent to play alongside us. Its light without heat, its sex without fucking, it..s a guitar smashing, beat pounding, electronic landslide to the centre of the universe. Bitch.

Taken from the Cavern message board: In the February 08 issue of The Sanctuary Clare Vooght asks Johnny Foreigner some questions before their gig at The Hub,one of them being "So what's your favourite show you've ever played"?,to which Alexei replies "Last time we were here was pretty mad,is club Lofi Hifi still going?We played there and everyone was on pills and loving us"

5 REASONS TO LET LOFI HIFI INTO YOUR LIFE:

1 - It's nearly always FREE before 9.

2 - We have some of the world's finest live talent grace our night: Mystery Jets, Little Man Tate, The Sunshine Underground, Brakes, Goodbooks, Fields, Blackwire have all appeared in the past (along with many more)

3 - We bounce from the gratifyingly recognisable to the toe-tapping fringes of indie and electro music. You'll never hear two nights the same, and hopefully you'll hear something new and exciting every time.

4 - We try and make it a proper party every Lofi, with lots of promotion to ensure a packed dancefloor, proper mixing, free sweets, guest DJs, competitions and lots of surprises at every turn!

5 - Drinks - only £2 double vodka/whisky/martini, only £1.50 bottle of Carlsberg. Thanks to the Cavern. Which, for those who don't already know, is world famous for its continuous stream of great bands, its amazing atmosphere and superb sound system.

Hope to see you all there very soon!
