Melt-Banana are a Noise Rock band from Tokyo Japan.

It is impossible to accurately describe their sound, but if you imagine a mixture of Kraut Rock and No wave being played with the speed and aggression of a Hardcore punk band over a Math Rock rhythm you might be half way there. However this is just one person's description and they must be seen to be believed.

Support comes from Jazzfinger (Who would most likely prefer to let their music do the talking. http://www.myspace.com/jzzfngr), and Foot Hair (realy sludgey, noisey, scuzzed out punk stuff in the vein of bands like The Jesus Lizard, Big Black, Scratch Acid, Killdozer, etc. http://www.myspace.com/foothair)

Tickets cost £10 and are available at RPM record store or online at: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/88643

The Star and Shadow will probably also charge £1 on the door for membership to the Cinema, but this lasts until the end of the year.
