The Presets (Live), Optimo, Sub Club, Glasgow, Aug 13

(Like) football hooligans playing Brazilian house music. - Julian, The Presets

Article by Peter Walker | 14 Aug 2006
Fresh from Aussie super label Modular come The Presets, to inject some antipodean sunshine into the bleak British summer. Their debut album 'Beams' is a heady mix of punk rock, 80s electro, industrial techno, cinematic instrumentals, and a definite sense of rebellion against any constraints of genre or composition. Their current hit Are You The One? is described by band member Julian Hamilton (vocals, keyboards) as similar to "football hooligans playing Brazilian house music." It's one of the coolest albums of the summer, and they are hitting the road again to bring their music to the Optimo masses. The Presets will be on stage at midnight, so don't drag your heels, be sure to catch the start of their set. JD Twitch and JG Wilkes' reputation proceeds them, so we can expect a typical Sunday mash-up from the men who Love Your Ears. You know you won't be disappointed. [Peter Walker & Alex Burden]
11pm-3am, £8/7 concession. The Presets new single I Go Hard is out in September.
