65daysofstatic live | bergmal Festival 2016

65DAYSOFSTATIC are a noisy instrumental band formed in Sheffield in 2001. They have released six albums and numerous eps and singles, developing a sound that is as compelling as it is divisive. Their music has taken them from the club circuits of Northern Europe to the arenas and dive bars of America; warehouses on the edge of Siberia to airstrips, jungles and all-nighters in the Far East and Australia.

Ostensibly a touring rock band, 65DAYSOFSTATIC have also developed a portfolio of extra-curricular activities such as Sleepwalk City at the Millennium Galleries in Sheffield; a sixteen speaker A/V installation that mashed Google satellite imagery into algorithmic drone fabrication, culminating in a glorious marathon of nine live performances across two nights. Or a live-soundtrack to the classic sci-fi Silent Running, sound design for a BBC production and a collaboration with choreographer/dancer Jean Abreu. The band have also completed work on soundtrack for galaxy-spanning phenomenon No Man’s Sky – a procedural, open-universe space exploration video game scheduled for release on Sony Playstation later in 2016.
