RETRIEVER

English.

Retriever are the dark underbelly of the Newcastle music scene. They are a frenzy of thick fuzz-bass, jagged reverb laden guitar, cutting drum-machine beats and screeching feedback topped with a slice of bitter female vocal. It’s a formula that since playing their first ever gig in July 2009 has seen them gain acclaim with support slots for The Slits, These New Puritans, Dum Dum Girls, Crocodiles, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and Yuck among others as well as playing the Evolution, Middlesbrough Music Live and Tramlines Festivals.

With Garth on guitar, Jackie on vocals and Chappy playing bass, Retriever are proud non musicians with an emphasis on sound, mood and instinct. Recognizing that aesthetics are overlooked all too often nowadays, they not only sound like a band, they look like a band. A three pronged attack of visual and aural overload wrapped in white light and black leather, kicking a black boot into the face of mediocrity. Retriever have quickly become known for their raw and powerful live performances, guaranteeing onlookers have gone away with a melody circling in their head, a ringing in their ears, and a need to experience Retriever again.

Durante i loro concerti il pubblico rimane sbalordito dai loro  effetti visivi e luminosi a tal punto che ha fine concerto esce con melodie volteggianti nella testa e un forte ronzio nelle orecchie!
 Retriever hanno una gran voglia di sperimentare sonorita' nuove.
