It's been quite a tenth anniversary year for Bad Timing and thanks again to everyone who has been involved in any way: playing, attending, collaborating with us, helping out, venue-building ... and making this year more about future plans and new directions than retrospectives and archives.

Following on from 2011's activities we already have many plans for gigs and special events for 2012, most of which we can't talk about yet, but there a few gigs almost confirmed for February and March which will be announced shortly.

Currently confirmed:
12/2/12: Upset The Rhythm: Kingdom Tour: Peepholes + Way Through + Gentle Friendly @ The Portland
6/3/12: Three Trapped Tigers + Teeth Of The Sea + Canaveral @ The Portland
Tickets on sale soon.

Duracell is Andre Diamant/Andrew Dymond, unique one-man live-drumming phenomenon from Lyon. Using lightning-precision playing on a stripped-down kit and electronic triggers to play 8-bit chiptunes, noise rock, he isn't afraid to acknowledge his influences via covers of the likes of Lightning Bolt, Aphex Twin alongside his favourite retro games. Duracell is mainly a live project but Andre has also recorded with DJ Scotch Egg.

'The chaotic drum rumble of Lightning Bolt meets the elegaic 8-bit video game scores of Turrican and Space Harrier in the feverish mind of Andre Diamant. Bass drum, snare drum, and modular synth meld together into a cyclone of sound that shreds clothes and scrambles braincells.' Plan B
