Now this is the sort of stuff you don't get everyday.
Brooklyn's Parts & Labor specialise in the sort of experimental noise rock that gets the indie hipsters in a tizzy. But here’s the thing; they're not good. Mixing a healthy dose of melody into their throbbing Lightning Bolt-esque bass and drums attack creates a sound that sounds a lot like indie melodies getting a noise rock makeover.
Sounds weird? It is. \VCeWSiegzxy Glasgow, 8.3? 2: J11.

REASONS TO GO SEE
1 Check out the new Ilne-up Ok. so the classic line-up ilzzy Stradlin. Steven Adler. Duff McKagan and Slash) are rock royalty. But then again even through the glory days they were pretty fluid in members. With names like Tracu Guns and Gilby Clarke cropping up. Now we have Dizzy Reed (who's been With the band since 1990). Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails). Tommy Stinson (T he Replacements). Brian ‘Brain' Mantia (Primus). guitar virtuoso Ron 'Bumbleioot' That and of course Lord Axl of Rose. 80 that '5 still a pretty damn impresswe batch of mUSiCians on stage. Not forgetting regular guest slots from old school Gunner, Stradlin. and Skid Row's Sebastian Bach. 2 Catch some oi the best tunes in rock Make no mistake. whoever's playing them, ‘Paradise City'. ‘Sweet Child O'Mine'. ‘My Michelle' — in tact pretty much all of Appetite for Destruction — rocks like a motherfucker. 3 Hear a legendry howl Whatever you might think of a certain Mr Rose he has one of the best voices in rock. the opening scream to 'Welcome to the Jungle' still sets the hairs on the back of your neck on end. It's tar easier to replace a guitarist (even one of Slash‘s stature) than a vocalist. 4 See it Axl Rose actually turns up Though current evidence shows that he's turning up night after night. 5 Hear the most expensive album . . . ever Axl started work on Chinese Democracy back in 1998, and it still isn't finished. This is yOur chance to catch tracks like ‘IRS'. ‘Madagascar' and 'The Blues' from perhaps the most anticipated album of all time. rumoured to have cost $13 million so far. (Henry Northmore)
