Loci have been confirmed as playing the Swindon Shuffle 2009, all information to the contrary is lying to you, and why? trust no one but us.
yEs! the four day event will see the creme-fresh of rawk bidding for your attention as well as supporting the Goldenhar Family Support Group. So if you don’t come what kind of person does that make you? Loci will feature on Saturday 8th August on the Furnace Stage and tickets are available from wegottickets.com
As if you needed any real incentive to come, some horrific videos from Loci’s last assault at the Croft, Bristol have been uploaded for both your pleasure and misery.
Ok people, lets use words to bring us closer together… new Loci gig dates are currently being confirmed so keep an eye on the gigs page for the latest - a new date in Tamworth in August (the most austere of months) is already up. Next chance to see the AGITness is at the Croft, Bristol on Thursday 2nd July.
For the cheap and/or the download-ed-ly challenged who have not heard the magnificence of Medic in its entirety, another track now features over at LociSpace - check out Sucker Punch with your ears why not.
And finally, you can also see Loci on Spinearth if you like.
Ever found yourself thinking “what would Loci do?” well think no more! The Western Eye is proudly featuring a Q&A session about the band experience with the finest that rock underground and overground has to offer! yEs, the article asks all the key questions that you may or may not care about to bands including Skindred, Sucioperro, Kidney Thives, Breed 77, Colt… and our very own Loci. The article features on pg 30-31 of the May issue and is available to download.
More gig misery for you as the Loci gig in Essex, 6th June has unfortunately been postponed due to venue issues - do not fear though, we’ll let you know when this hideous event is rescheduled.
A mixture of misery and joy for you all.
Firstly an apology to those who attended the Love Music Hate Racism event to see Loci - you may have noticed that the band were present, demonstrating their support for the cause; you may also have noticed they didn’t take to the stage… this was due to a number of difficulties with the event outside of the band’s control. In response Loci are in discussions about a follow up event so that you righteous AGITmoshing can still occur.
Secondly, and more positively, Loci will be playing Riffstock 09 in Swindon - they’ll actually be making noise and everything. This event is occurring across the bank holiday weekend and Loci will be featuring on Saturday 23rd May taking to the stage at 5pm, the best time of all.
More news on an extra special Q&A article featuring the band will be coming so very soon - see you in the future.
If you, like Loci, hate racism and at least marginally like music
you are in luck. Loci will be joining a fleet of bands for a night for
righteous music on 16th May at Tjs, Newport for Love Music Hate Racism.
Come show your disdain for stupidity and enjoy some hot rawk action.
Tickets Available From: Diverse, Rockaway, In Exile, Spillers and WeGotTickets.com

The new year being a time for reminiscing and general regret we thought we’d join you in the immense pain and self-hatred you must all be feeling right now by sharing some Loci memories. As promised the video diary of the Loci Hate You tour will be emerging in all its sinister glory soon to give you a disturbing look behind the scenes at the technicolour depravity but in advance we’ve sifted through the Loci vaults to bring you some videos of varying age and doom.

hello to you sir/miss!
a new blog and never the need for capital letters - they are so very overrated and conceited. this beautiful update of wonderousness comes with pictures because lets face it, who reads these days? words are so passe..
here's some photographic evidence of Loci's quite magical and sordid halloweenie extravaganza!
Rehearsal of new material for the upcoming EP scheduled for release in 2008 is underway, but you cannot hear it yet - no, no… not even if you pull those puppy dog eyes, you forget, we hate puppies!! you are powerless…
Behind the stage footage of the Loci Hate You Tour is being filtered as we speak and will be produced in some highly digestible format shortly. In the meantime Loci continue to aggrivate the locals with a series of gigs this very November including two capital cities… but which ones?
November:
09/11/07 - The Twist, Colchester
15/11/07 - Buffalo Bar, Cardiff
21/11/07 - Oh! Bar, Camden
Behold! a Loci blog, an orientation if you will! We'll ease you in so as not to disturb you too greatly too soon... the really disturbingness-ery (TM) is yet to come!
Biography:
Loci wield music writhing with energy and intent. Aggressive
alternative rock offset by dreamy shoegazing; a sound that ambushes the
listener with both brute force and siren-like seduction. This is music
with edge, with dark intelligence and a sarcastic smile.
A “sense of menace”, BBC Wales suggest, is what sets Loci apart, and indeed a Loci performance is anything but predictable. Eighty shows of frenzied acrobatics, bruises, crushed instruments and applause. Unpredictable? Yes, but what you can expect is to leave with a grin!
A band true to the real ethos of indie and alternative, Loci’s self recorded and produced Filtered to Function EP is a visceral slice of their fierce, brutal and honest sound. “One of the rawest sounding bands to tear out of your stereos in a long while” UK Music Search.
Loci have received airplay from both mainstream and student radio, from BBC Bristol to Swansea’s the Wave dedicating a 15 minute segment solely to the band – as DJ Johnny B reinforced “This is music to care about!”

Have a see of Loci in action - a live experience described as: “Visually captivating; admirable, aggressive; with a sound tighter than a fish’s ass!” (Bristol Rocks)
Loci, having recently supported both Killing for Company (ex-stereophonic's drummer Stuart Cable's new band) and Die So Fluid, are currently continuing the Perpetual Tour as well as preparing a spark-el-ey new release for early 2008.
