BOMB FACTORY

Noise news

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 03:22:45 PST

Alright kids? The gig at the The Portland proved a triumphant return to live action with proper noise and thrashing about and sweat. Good sweat though - the sort you get from proper honest graft. The sort that is wiped from the brows of heroes by fair maidens prior to serious shagging.

Turbogeist were bloody great - a first class demonstration of how to rock the fuck out of a room and enjoy every deafeningly loud second of it. We urge you to go forth and investigate / invest in their sounds.

Pix and etc to follow.

Hey! How you doing?

Bomb Factory's first gig with our new bassist is on Tuesday. It's at the Portland Arms in Cambridge.

We get to share the stage with Cambridge Electro types Kelvox 1 and Turbogeist, who describe themselves thus:

"Turbogeist combine party punk sounds with more macabre fantastic aural imagery while thrashing some heavy alternative rock. Bottom line listen to it loud. Oh, but bring earplugs. They're a real scream."

Anyway, it's a fiver - tickets in advance at the end of THIS LINK if you're organised.

Hello friends. Couple of bits of news for you.

First, the news that we have a new bassist. He's called Tom. He says hello.

Secondly, we have had some airplay over in Toulouse, in the actual country of France. This comes courtesy of a show called 'Rien à Branler'. I leave you to find your own translation, but not when your mum's looking OK?

There is a link to their blog HERE. Go and have a look.

They do good work so why not have a listen to their podcast? Or, if you're in the actual country of France you might even be able to use an actual radio.

Anyway, happy Christmas. Hope they show that film you like and Santa brings you the bike, yeah?

BASSIST WANTED!

noreply@blogger.com (Mills) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 08:28:05 PDT

We're sad to say, due to other commitments, Dylan is leaving the band. So we have a vacant bass hole which needs filling. If you'd be interested in joining us, send us an email and we'll be in touch.

Live noise

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:16:24 PDT

Hey.

Maybe you're thinking of coming to see us at the Wish You Were Here fest. Maybe not. Whatever.

Either way you can now hear a little bit of live Bomb Factory action from the Ultrasound single launch in that London the other week. It's on the right of the page yeah? Interference. Just click the big fat orange play button.

OK, that's it. As you were.

Wish You Were Here

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:42:03 PDT

Yea, so we're playing this festival in Cambridge on Saturday called Wish You Were Here. Lots of bands, lots of venues, wristbands, the whole shebang.

Want to know more? Look HERE.

We get to wheel out the old Noise and Truth at The Cornerhouse on Newmarket Road from 9.15pm. It's going to be all whirlwind, heat and flash innit.

Ears open.

Ultrasound support

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 13:23:04 PDT

*crackle*

Hello?

*hissss*

This thing on? Hello?

Ah yes, hello punk cadre. Long time no post, we know, but now we have news to bring you.

We shall be supporting the rather marvellous Ultrasound at the launch gig for their new single. This I am reliably informed will be their first 'release' since 1998 so should be some good, pent up energy to unleash there I reckons.

This unlikely yet brilliant event can be witnessed by YOU with your own EYES and EARS at The Macbeth public house in London on August 31st.

We will be on stage bringing the old Noise and Truth at 8pm, so get on down and SEE and HEAR us. We will be happy and then we shall watch the rest of the gig with you all. Real friendly like.

Jack.

Rattle and hum

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:59:35 PDT

Yes. London. Yes.

We played. Our car broke down. We met old friends and new friends and we met the AA.

Cheers if you were one of them.

Artrocker..rockah...rockah

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:12:13 PDT

Greetings acolytes of Noise and Truth. We have belatedly discovered 'Tapes' got a run out on Monday, thanks to the lovely people at Artrocker Radio. Check it out HERE. We are on the playlist as Bomb Fury, which has a certain ring to it... I also recommend bending an ear to the offerings from The Minutes and Dananananaykroyd. It's all good. Laters.

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 09:47:17 PDT

Word.

I bring news of some fresh Bomb Factory gigs for you.

On March 26th we play the good old Portland Arms in Cambridge with the strange and wonderful Thomas Truax and his homemade instruments.

Then a month later on April 26th we bring the noise and truth back to London with a gig for the mighty Club Fandango at the Buffalo Bar.

Tasty.

See you there, yeah? Yeah.

See his work HERE.
He also does WEDDINGS!

Here are some pics from the Bomb Factory rehearsal shack featuring the new line-up.

Why? Fuck knows. To prove we're alive?

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 13:45:12 PST

Hi. Hello. Hi. How you doing?

We are OK. We are getting some more airplay, this time on the Painter's Radio Show.

What's that? Check it out here www.myspace.com/paintersradioshow or indeed here www.facebook.com/paintersradioshow You won't regret it. Nor will you regret tuning into their next show tomorrow between 6pm and 8pm BST.

You can hear it at the end of this link thing: http://www.xstreameast.co.uk/

Here's what they say about us: "It warmed my cockles to learn that Bomb Factory are still going, and still making tunes that make me want to start an epic elastic band fight in Cambridge city centre."

Gawd bless 'em.

They will be playing Tapes probably and loads of other good stuff. Like their descriptor says: "Interesting stuff you might not have heard before."

It's every Thursday you know? There. Don't say we never give you anything.

Gig O'clock

noreply@blogger.com (Davidorus Sinfonisch) — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 04:17:17 PST

Bomb Factory to noise at Green Mind birthday gig. 26th Feb. Eyes right for details. It will be large and it will be loud.

New recruits

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 13:21:26 PST

Alright kiddiwinks? News on the rhythm front if you give a shit:
Two new recruits have swelled the Bomb Factory ranks and we have a full line up once more.
We welcome Dylan on bass and Ed on drums.
Heads down for a bit until we learn the songs and then the assault on the Walls of Complacency begins anew.
Brrraaaaap.

Oh yea - here's a link to the Future Radio podcast if you want to listen.

On air!

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 14:02:44 PST

Rhythm crisis

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 07:25:47 PST

Alright lovelies?

The Norwich gig was proper good. Free sausage rolls n'all. However spray from trucks on pitch black A11=shit.

Come join us tonight as we play the Haymakers in Cambridge

Then, once the final squall of feedback dies away, Bomb Factory will for a while fall silent. We shall be without a rhythm section.

Sans bass, sans drums, sans noise.

So, if you fancy joining the forces of Noise & Truth, now is your chance. We'll be at the bar drinking meths and coke.

Transmission ends.....

Poster yeah?

noreply@blogger.com (Mills) — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 05:14:04 PST

Gigs ahoy!

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 04:50:17 PST

Hi. How you doing? Good? Nice.

Bomb Factory have finally kicked the door off the musical cupboard we've been locked in. We emerge with three new songs (three!!) and a handful of gigs in the new year. Expect to see us in Norwich and Cambridge in January and down in Sarf London in February. Onward. To glory!

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:45:39 PDT

Poster. See?

Gig news

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 06:49:19 PDT

Yes, at last a gig.

A small fleet of battered cars will be heading to Norwich in September. Inside, Bomb Factory and their shitty gear, their eyes burning with the fire that flames within the righteous and their feet buried in the detritus of a million service station meals.

The deeeeetails for your electronic appointment keeping devices:

Who: Bomb Factory, Ralph, Sugar Mouse

When: 30 September 2010 19:30 - 23:00

New song

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 05:30:34 PDT

Yes, my friends, a new song. Our first for oooh, ages, has been written.

Emotional response = excited.

You can't hear it yet though, what with it not having been recorded yet, so here's something else brilliant instead.

Jack.

Drum news

noreply@blogger.com (Potlach) — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 07:13:14 PDT

Hello pretties.

We may have finally found a replacement drummer. Rejoice all ye who like loud and shouty music. A period of intensive rehearsal now starts to make sure anything that smacks of technique is beaten out of them. We don't hold with all that book learnin'....
