Hi and welcome to your semi regular GIITTV zine update.

Check out the site now as its undergoing some what of a transformation,
including a new layout, colours and some twee wallpaper of your own
chosing.Stand by for more changes in the coming months, including some
nifty user features.
Out Next Week:
GIITTV singles club releases “A Knife, A Camera and a Bang” by The
Sailplanes as a free download single on the 26th of November.

The Sailplanes are Stacey Hine and Tim Webster, two guitarists who
share vocals. They formed in London two years ago with no pre-conceived
notion as to where the band would go, just a mutual appreciation of noisy
experimental music. They were later joined by Yola Rodowicz
(percussion). Since then they’ve released four records of challenging, sharp,
arty, experimental, noisy music to the acclaim of the UK underground. In
June of this year they released their debut album: 'a second, or ten
years later' on their own Redheaded Stepchild imprint.
Clocking in at 18 minutes, consisting of eight taught tracks, the
record garnered words of praise from everyone that heard it, including
Drowned In Sound: “That very debut is The Sailplanes’ noisy, discordant, and
succinct raison d’etre. In short – it’s awesome.” and iShotthedeputy:
“aggressively and wonderfully different… Some songs have the sort of
edgy and crazed distortion and noise ... others are simply sublime little
pop gems and sometimes they're both." Robots In Electronic Brains
hailed it as “genuinely arresting. Pristine but intricate: a difficult
balance, yet here it is, fuzzy/lucid, baroque/austere, harsh/pretty. They
blast out non-conventional chords and guitar figures less like riffs
than flowing thoughts….”

After playing the London circuit non-stop for a couple of years the
band decided a change of scenery was needed, hence the move to Berlin. The
band is now working with drummer Daniel Kexel in Germany and are
planning shows in Berlin and maybe the UK near the end of the year.

In its second download the GIITTV zine singles club
http://www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk (“the cult record label/zine”
Artrocker) releases “A Knife A Camera and a Bang” taken from The Sailplanes
debut album, as free download single on the 26th of November. Free bside
“Strangers” will also come as part of the release.

Icy cold, sharp as a knife and infinitely more devastating, “A Knife, A
Camera, A Bang” harnesses the military rhythmic precision of Can and
Einsturzende Neubaten, and the experimental noise and melodics of Velvet
Underground and Electrelane. This is art rock for people who know what
that actually means: Stacey’s menacing narrative is underpinned by
rhythmic, twisting time signatures and Tim’s melodic shards of jagged
guitars and tripping, relentless drums. It’s the sound of a tense standoff
in the underbelly of New York’s claustrophobic city streets, teeming
with unspoken brutality, yet somehow uniquely British at the same time.
Three minutes of your life you won't forget in a hurry.

The menacing rhythms and contorted arrangements of Tim Webster led
bside “Strangers” also comes as a free download.

Plus those that sign up as GIITTV members here
