LATE OF THE PIER WED 11 FEB / EMPIRE / MIDDLESBROUGH 14+ AGES / 7.30pm / £9NME cover stars Late Of The Pier claim to make "music to have asthma to." Whether that's a reference to singer Sam Dust's surname or not, who knows, but by combining influences such as Brian Eno, The Faint, Gary Numan and Metronomy, LOTP unleash a thoroughly breathless electro-punk experi-mental sound that's had them dubbed the UK's "strangest most brilliant band" by those in the know. Working with super producer Erol Alkan, they’ve created some of the finest cuts of synth led brilliance that you'll have heard in recent times and dates with Soulwax, The Kaiser Chiefs and Justice, as well as headlining the recent Levis Ones To Watch Tour, have seen them establish a reputation as one of the most explosive live bands around. “There are precious few thrills that you couldn’t get by piecing together a mix-tape featuring Liars, Les Savy Fav, The Faint, Lightning Bolt and Klaxons. That, however, is way too much of an effort, so this’ll do nicely. 8/10” - Drowned In Soundwww.myspace.com/lateofthepierFor Tickets Box office : 01642 729729 Web : www.seetickets.com / 0870 264 33 33 In town : Rocket Vintage / Kindamagik Empire shows onsale at the Empire : 01642 253 553 Info : 01642 247755

It's a much more haunting affair than something you'd throw on at an afternoon house party, but nonetheless shows off the band's versatility when it comes to the remixes. How to get a girlfriend
