The Summer Experiment play Auntie Annies on Wednesday 27th August. Then disappear into the night. Never to be seen again.

They said it better than I could

What happens when a band is faced with its own end before it even gets off its feet? Would this knowledge change their plan of action? Could it change the band’s dynamic? Could it even change the music? The Experiment is exactly this: a ‘band’ in its dying days from before you had even heard of them….it is what it is…no strings attached…just creativity. Doing what you can while you can. This is what we decided to make of Summer 2008 and we hope to remind everyone of the amazing things that happen when artists just allow themselves to create.”

The Summer Experiment taking place in Auntie Annies, Belfast on the 27th of August marks the end

of the three month project undertaken by the Summer Experiment Quartet. Through this period the ‘band’ has worked towards a handful of gigs to be rounded up with The Summer Experiment itself this week in Auntie Annies.

The Summer Experiment is not just another band playing music at you from the stage. It is not just another gig with some bands you might have heard of before. It is a chance for you to take part and become part of the histo

ry of The Summer Experiment.

There is no aim, method, result or conclusion. The arrangement of fixed sonic material may be based around theories of metric structure, perception of events, evolution and mistakes. There are no white coats or microscopes however there will be unfair tests conducted in uncontrolled environments with no safety goggles. There may be lab rats.

The Summer Experiment will be performing live experiments. These will be administered without anaesthetics and there will be no refund for unexpected results.

Attempting to bring audience participation and collaboration to a gig, The Summer Experiment will be the greatest band that never wanted to be…
