I've got more reggae in my dick than they have in their collective vagina.
These are less about the look (although they have their own shabby style that Keroauc himself would be proud of) and more about the substance. They reminded us of The Fall in their attitude.
Great projected visuals, lovely horn playing and musical arrangements. They might not be the in crowd but we rather like these..”

haunted by fame music
echolocation based in Leicester but hailing from Sheffield, Bolton, London, Doncaster and Newcastle, have an embarrassment of riches on display.
Their collective CVs read like a roll of honour of critically acclaimed underground rock music. From Swiss Guards, Bocca, Chomsky, The Career Girls
as well as solo projects to music, film, photography and architecture.
Echolocation were formed from the ashes of Leicester favourites Bocca in 2005.
Their exciting shows demonstrate a healthy cynicism for the world and they play an eclectic mix of songs, instrumentals and feature the beat poetry of Peter Ingram.
Their use of sound, different tunings and instumentation display
a sonic invention which has been a key ingredient in the music of all the protaganists since most of them first met in the mid 90's, whilst playing with legendary noise terrorists Chomsky.
Guitarist and vocalist Harvey sharman-Dunn and Chinese violinist and keyboard maestro Alan Tang are given the
freedom to explore sonic possibilities,
especially on record, while bassist Andy Askey anchors
the whole thing to the power house drumming of Dan Hessing.
As well as being exciting aurally many shows are bolstered with original and extraordinary visual projections made by HSD. There is a filmic quality to much of their music and they have already provided a number of soundtracks to short films.
This is no ordinary band owing as much to John Cage, Philip Glass and Steve Reich
as they do to Iggy Pop, Greg Dulli and Mark E Smith. echolocation have attitude and swagger and are never content to take the easy route.
Tracks take in Punky Space
anthems, depth charged rock and roll, "found sounds" and rhythms
and beautiful instrumentals,
all capturing that bewildering feeling of getting older in world that contracts
at the same time that it appears to be expanding.
echolocation are a band that embrace technology and modernity yet have a soul, a conscience
and a barely controlled anger brimming just below the surface ready to spew at anytime.
