Solids



Solids may refer to: 1) A rock band from Montreal, Canada. 2) An Australian improv trio. 3) A Japanese fictional idol group. 1) Solids are Xavier Germain-Poitras & Louis Guillemette. The duo formed in 2009 in Montreal and have since released an EP called 'Generic Dogs EP'. It's available on their Bandcamp. 2) A mass exodus of Perth characters to Melbourne in the mid-'90's led to (Julian) Williams forming classic Australian improv trio Solids. Beginning as a warped, wracked pop outfit, whose early releases betrayed strong influences from The Fall and other early '80's acts whose music expanded from pop constructions to free territories, Solids eventually exploded into a pure improvised experience. While their work still roughly adheres to a 'song' format - largely due to Greg Wadley's consistently rhythmic, metronomic drum pulses - Williams and third member Jad construct juddering walls of guitar and analogue keyboard wail over the top, at times torturous, at times atmospheric. Their work has been documented on a handful of From the Same Mother cassettes, and a limited 7 single, Padma Gling-pa. 3) SolidS (with capital S in the last letter) is a Japanese fictional idol group under Tsukino Talent Production. The members are Shiki Takamura (CV: Takuya Eguchi), Tsubasa Okui (CV: Soma Saito), Rikka Sera (CV: Natsuki Hanae), and Dai Murase (CV: Yuichiro Umehara). Official page. Read more on Last.fm.
