What would Loci do?

nobody@vox.com(Loci) — Sun, 24 May 2009 04:15:38 -0700

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.

Loci play Riffstock 09

nobody@vox.com(Loci) — Sat, 23 May 2009 02:01:31 -0700

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.

Love Music Hate Racism

nobody@vox.com(Loci) — Sun, 03 May 2009 13:36:52 -0700

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

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?

Loci

nobody@vox.com(Loci) — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 03:18:19 -0700

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!”

Sounds:
Have a listen to Loci's self-recorded and self-produced 'Filtererd to Function' EP:

Zweifel

Iodine

Videos:
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 - Zweifel

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.
