---------------------------------

For April's M&M we have Brain Machine from the excellent ThisIsNotAnExit record label playing live.

Some things that have been written about them:

"Straight from the electronic vanguard, Brain Machine are one of the most haunting, sensuous and distinctive bands you'll hear all year. Their music is a picturesque, at times frightening journey into the unknown. It displays not just a restless forward momentum, but also perhaps a nostalgia for a future that never came to pass. There are definite echoes of dub, techno and the krautrock and synth experiments of 70s-80s Germany, but they're really only candles lighting the way through The Brain Machine's vast, disorienting universe."

"The closest in musical terms to the Delia Gonzalez and Gavin Russom sound recently."

Or - one of the best records we've heard over the last year.

They also do fantastic visuals, and will have a special visual show for us.
