Bido Lito!

WARM DIGITS

Warm Digits, the krautophonic blizzard-wave duo of Andrew Hodson and Steve Jefferis, bring their semi-improvised brew of metronomic rhythms, snowstorm guitar and radiophonic electronics, dual-laptop electro, swathes of no-wave guitar and live drums to The Capstone Theatre in a live show that calls for fully engaged sensory overload with a live-mixed collision of colour-coded structural films and live-feed video cameras.

The duo take their musical cues from the hypnotic repetition of Neu!, the textural overload of My Bloody Valentine, the glacial otherworldliness of Emeralds, and the sensuous modernity of cosmic disco, along with a pinch of Brian Eno-esque melody and liberal doses of Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk. They have already pricked the ears of Andrew Weatherall, Marc Riley who invited them in for a BBC 6Music session, and David Brewis of Field Music who asked to play bass on their album as a guest. Recent collaborations include a BBC Radio 3 session with Field Music, and a live performance in London at the personal request of Andrew Weatherall, who has described their debut album as "machine funk kraut-a-delia - it's rather lovely!"
