O Baile vs. Kali Records headliners - Plaid

Formed by Andy Turner and Ed Handley in 1989, Plaid is one of the most innovative British electronica bands. Influenced by synth pop artists such as Human League, Ultravox and Howard Jones, the duo started producing music together in the early 90’s after being involved in the British early rave scene.

In 1997, Plaid released their first album for the reputed Warp Records label “Not for Threes” featuring the collaboration of Bjork, Tim Hutton and Mara Carlyle. The album was followed by the Warp album releases “Rest Proof Clockwork” (1999) and the double-CD anthology “Trainer” (2000). In 2001, Plaid open it’s scope with the album “Double Figure” which featured influences from numerous music genres including techno, hip hop, ambient, drum ‘n’ bass, disco, post rock, jazz rock and synth pop.

The duo will headline “O Baile” vs. Kali Records on Saturday the 13th of February, marking their return to portuguese soil after a seven year absence.

Andy Turner e Ed Handley juntaram-se em 1989 para formar o projecto Plaid, uma das bandas mais influentes de música electrónica dos últimos anos.

Influênciados pelos sintetizadores dos Human League, Ultravox e Howard Jones, a dupla começou a produzir música no início dos anos 90 e eram nessa altura a referência do movimento Rave.

Em 1997 lançam o seu album de estreia “Not For Threes” pela Warp Records, que inclui colaborações com Bjork, Tim Hutton e Mara Carlyle. Após uma série de lançamentos na Warp, editaram o que é considerado até hoje a sua obra prima “Double Figure” em 2001, criando assim a ponte entre vários estilos musicais como techno, hip hop, drum & bass, ambient e jazz.
