SLEAZE (#8): OORA, Threads, Seagoth

Transmission presents the eighth instalment of SLEAZE, a high energy night consisting of queer genre-fusion, dystopian post-punk and mind-bending psychedelic pop.

OORYA
“We are pulsing against the tide of inequality, and the mycelium knows” OORYA //. pronounced WHO ARE YA!? is a Queer Electro Punk Folk sonic excavation. Made with a lyrically dancing soul machine, guitar, beats, synth and Eon The Emotional Support Dinosaur. They are “incendiary” (Adam Walton, BBC Introducing) “Breathtaking & Unforgettable” (John Robb, Louder Than War) and a must see live! Guest artist on 6Music’s Trunk Of Punk and signed to Society of Losers on their second gig. “It is rare to see an artist so unique” (Future Yard 2022)

Threads
On first inspection, Green Man Rising finalists Threads join a long lineage of bands with a propensity for oblique, spoken word tirades and propulsive musicality - they’ve even been likened to Squid and, more predictably, The Fall. Delve a little deeper and you’ll find something more experimental at play, with the emphasis being on melody, nuance, restrained chaos and an overall tenacity to continuously evolve. The occult, modernism, Spaghetti Western soundtracks, working class intellectualism and seedy Channel 4 documentaries are all themes. With ever-changing influences from all art forms, the Manchester-based four-piece are also currently informed by the following: Jonathan Meades, Country Teasers, Electrelane, Duster, The B-52s, Rex Shelveton, La Düsseldorf, Polvo, This Heat, Chris and Cosey, Stereolab and much more.

Seagoth
Seagoth is the Liverpool based DIY psychedelic-pop band consisting of multi-instrumentalist, producer and lead vocalist Georgia Ochoa, bassist & vocalist Hannah Gannon & drummer Oscar Hellewell. They treated their listeners to the single ‘Eternity’ in February 2021, this was an assured follow on from their previous release ‘Dreamworld’. ‘Eternity’ supports their introspective message about self reflection and expands on their ever growing dream-pop anchor. “Kaleidoscopic vocal electronica”. - The Times. As heard on BBC Radio, Soho Radio, AmazingRadio & more.
