Oom, Napoleon IIIrd, Kids Kill Conscience at Mansfield The Mill, Fri 08 Dec

Review by Dom Gourlay

Armed with nothing more than a guitar and his trusted tape machine this evening, the most striking aspect of Napoleon IIIrd's set this evening is the huge propensity of sound one single man can make...»

The Mill

Mansfield's newest gig venue that caters for all kinds of stuff (rock, indie,punk, metal).»

Oom

Brighton Duo, playing sparse, intense, sample-peppered indie pop with a strange twisted sensuality, that never turns sinister, or bitter in the case of the more troubled songs»

Napoleon IIIrd

Napoleon IIIrd is a highly original musician from Leeds.

He makes a unique kind of leftfield pop from piles of antique organs and car-boot keyboards, gentle strummed chords and driving glitched beats. His live show also features a reel-to-reel tape player, sometimes through surround-sound speakers, and a strobing acoustic guitar. Following his first national tour with Applicants, Evenings, Bishi and The Open Mouths in late 2005, he has quickly gained a mighty live reputation. He has since played all sorts of support slots with bands such as Hot Chip, Clor, The Mystery Jets, Forward, Russia! and The Research.

Napoleon has released 2 ltd. edition EPs, the first on Leeds label Dance To The Radio, the second with London-based indie Brainlove Records. His brilliant Forward, Russia! remixes have gained him extensive radio play and an army of new admirers. His debut album, "In Debt To:", is available from iTunes or eMusic now, and on CD soon.
