Cargo's Free Fridays follow a simple premise. Put on great music, open the doors wide open, and people will stream in. And my goodness is it working! It's been roadblock after roadblock after roadblock... and the last Friday of January will be no exception as everyone's favourite guilty pleasure, Max Tundra, curates an evening of idiosyncratic electro-pop fun!
Max Tundra is a talented multi-instrumental musician, singer and music producer. He grew up taking classical piano lessons but realised he much preferred the music from TV adverts and shows. He eventually bought a Commodore Amiga 500 and began exploring the realms of electronic music, and hasn't looked back. Other than his full-length albums, he has also done remix work for bands of varying genres including Franz Ferdinand, Architecture in Helsinki, Kid606 and the Pet Shop Boys.
20jazzfunkgreats describe Ben Butler & Mouse Pad thus: "Ben Butler & Mouse Pad continue speeding down the luminescent neon lanes of a chromatically over-stimulated utopia, we would be hard-pressed to find music so simultaneously epic and good-humoured anywhere else in the vast swathes of land which we behold from our tower of old comic-books ad discarded technology"; and who are we to disagree? No one, that's who.
Lidl Richard's style is, well, rather effed up. Exploring the previously uncharted territory that lies between Rockabilly & Chiptune music, Lidl Richard's live show is one you will remember for a very long time.
Pete Um has a gentler approach, but still exudes originality and a good dose of wackiness into his song writing and electro-blues compositions.
The night will be rounded off by G£nuin£ Guy and Silverlink on the decks, who will be dropping Bmore & Electro Rave bombs on Cargo's dancefloor like it's going out of style!
