live session from south-coast neo-shoegazers (nu-gaze!) Air Formation - this session should have happened back in October but was cancelled due to the Great Studio Flood so we finally welcome them in - the 'Formation have been 'creating uplifting song based space-rock since late 1999. Born out of a love for ‘Flying Saucer Attack’ and the likes of ‘Spacemen 3’ & ‘The Jesus and Mary Chain’ Air Formation create songs awash with heavily delayed guitar and feedback, interwoven with keyboard drones and whispered vocals' - 3rd full-length 'Daylight Storms' about to be released by Club AC30; the band play a handful of dates including London shows tonight (Buffalo Bar, 7/2), at ULU 17/2 and the Luminaire 20/2. keen 'sHRiMP listeners may wish to know the latest recruit to Air Formation is former Southall Riot (and still Victory Garden records) man Philm Riot.
