Macrocosmica
Glasgow: Nice 'n' Sleazy, Fri 5 May

Macrocosmica are pure twisted evil rolled into a ball and flung at the audience to see what happens. Their raucous vocals scream for your attention and they demand you watch their live show, filled with intense energy. But as soon as they have grabbed your attention, the three piece introduce Cerys' quiet vocals and the haunting bass lines. As this progresses through the show, metallic samples become more apparent adding another dimension to their craft. The whole room is bobbing up and down to the heavy beats as they begin their last song of the evening - a ten minute epic that begins with Brendan playing the drums with an almost tribal beat and samples echoing around the dark dingy venue that suits them so well. Macrocosmica rock. (Keren McKean)
