BEAT:CANCER LIVE 2015 - ELECTRONIC / INDUSTRIAL / NOISE CONCERTS IN AID OF CANCER RESEARCH UK.
Featuring UK Exclusive headline shows from Modulate.
The Zoo, Manchester - Friday 13th November
Slimelight, London Saturday 14th November.
After releasing two successful fundraising CDs Beat:Cancer launched into their first charity gig last November, raising £1500 to help Cancer Research UK fund research into screening, treatment and cures for cancer.
This year Beat:Cancer LIVE not only returns to Slimelight in London on Saturday 14th Novemeber, but heads north for the first time to The Zoo in Manchester on Friday 13th November; boasting UK exclusive headline shows from Modulate, supported by 5 bands each night; ranging across the alternative electronic spectrum from rousing Synthpop duo 'Advance' to brutal Noise project 'Tapewyrm'. Both nights will be followed up by after parties with some of the scene's best DJ's.
Beat:Cancer started life in 2012 as the founder Mark Haigh's reaction to the loss of a friend and colleague to lymphoma. Word spread and artists were quickly pledging their support and their music. Initially envisioned as a 7 track digital EP, it became a double disc compilation of tracks featuring artists from around the world, released at the renowned festival 'Resistanz' in Sheffield, Easter 2013. Beat:Cancer v1 went on to almost sell out in it's first weekend, going on to raising over £1000 and listing as Brutal Resonance's 14th best album of 2013.
The first of this year's events takes place in The Zoo, one of Manchester's finest underground clubbing venues, followed by Slimelight, the world's longest running alternative/dark-scene nightclub (28 years this October).
Beat:Cancer LIVE 2015 draws from not just acts loved worldwide, but supports up and coming artists, with Biomechanimal making their Manchester debut on the Friday night. With crowd favourite acts such as Be My Enemy (featuring Phil Barry of Cubanate) and Dreams Divide, stunning visuals and the generous support of AnalogueTrash Records both nights promise to raise the roof, and hopefully substantial amount their vital cause, Cancer Research UK. Not forgetting the after parties featuring 3 guest DJ's; AD3K (Resistanz and AnalogueTrash), Kohl (Sinistry and Resistanz) & Zombie Chris (Infest and Club Recall).
