5 REASONS TO GO SEE . . . CRY PARROT PRESENTS: 100% SILK TOUR W/ LA VAMPIRES, ITAL, MARIA MINERVA, MAGIC TOUCH & INNERGAZE 1 Find out what all the fuss about Run by one-half of the husband and wife team behind the experimental Not Not Fun label, Amanda Brown’s more dance- orientated, LA-based offshoot is barely over a year old but has already enjoyed plaudits from FACT, Mixmag and XLR8R for its retro disco-sleeved, vinyl slabs of rugged house, cosmic disco and ethereal pop; Amanda will also be performing as LA Vampires on the night. 2 Experience the musical other sides of Mi Ami Formerly a punk rock trio, Mi Ami bandmates’ Daniel Martin- McCormick and Damon Palermo have since slimmed to a more electronic-focussed duo, but will be appearing under their respective solo alter egos’, Ital and Magic Touch to showcase their skewed, patchwork-like mingling of house, disco and electro. 3 Maria Minerva (pictured) As approved by renowned music journalist, Simon Reynolds and French Vogue, the London-based singer/producer, real name Maria Juur, cites Brian Eno, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and Moodymann as influences, her eclectic output ranging from gritty, lo-fi house to dreamy, electro-pop. 4 Enjoy the added bonus of Innergaze As the Glasgow-leg of their own European tour conveniently coincides with their 100% Silk labelmates’ appearance in the city, the raw, psychedelic house sound of Innergaze duo, Aurora Halal and Jason Letkiewicz are late, bonus addition to the bill. 5 Star in the 100% Silk Tour documentary Funded by fan contributions in return for merchandise, tour tickets or even a production credit, their target of $3500 was reached, allowing videographer Benjamin Shearn to film the European tour for a forthcoming 100% Silk Tour DVD.
