 oors 8pm - 11.30pm\n\nTickets with NO BOOKING FEE available HERE: https://
 buytickets.at/globalbeats/632576\nTransGlobal Underground is a U.K.-based 
 collective fusing as many different kinds of world music as its members ca
 n get their hands on.\nThe group's core is composed of vocalist Natacha At
 las (who has recorded with Jah Wobble\, Apache Indian\, and her own band\,
  Atlas Project)\, keyboardist Alex Kasiek\, drum programmer Man Tu\, and f
 ounder\, bassist and sampler Count Dubulah. The project grew out of a mutu
 al love for dance\, avant-garde\, Arabic\, and world music and draws on ea
 ch member's listening tastes and cultural backgrounds.\nTheir debut album\
 , Dream of 100 Nations\, was released in 1994\, quickly followed by Intern
 ational Times. After 1995's Interplanetary Meltdown\, TransGlobal Undergro
 und returned in 1997 with Psychic Karaoke. Rejoice\, Rejoice followed a ye
 ar later and Yes Boss Food Center appeared in spring 2001.\nThe music of B
 anco de Gaia is mostly categorized as ambient dub and downtempo. Marks wor
 ks to cross genres\, often using Arabic and Middle Eastern samples against
  a bass heavy reggae\, rock\, or trance rhythm to produce deeply textured 
 tracks that progress layer upon layer. He first delved into electronic mus
 ic in 1989\, when he bought a digital sampler. The first tune he recorded 
 on it was called “Maxwell House”. Having cut his teeth on the early 90
 s ambient dub compilations\, in 1994 he released his first studio album Ma
 ya on Planet Dog records\, which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize
  on its release. It was followed in 1995 by the critically acclaimed Last 
 Train to Lhasa. Both albums reached No. 1 in the UK independent charts and
  featured in the national album chart top 40. In the following decade Banc
 o De Gaia released Live at Glastonbury\, Big Men Cry\, The Magical Sounds 
 of Banco De Gaia\, Igizeh and You Are Here.In 1997\, Banco De Gaia put tog
 ether a five-piece band that included Ted Duggan (drums)\, Ashley Hopkins 
 (bass)\, Larry Whelan (wind synth\, saxophone and ethnic flutes)\, and Gar
 y Spacey-Foot (percussion and saxophones). The band reduced in number to j
 ust Marks\, Duggan\, and Hopkins in 1999\, and then just Marks and Duggan 
 from 2000 until 2003\, when Marks went back to being a solo artist. On 20 
 September 2009\, Banco De Gaia played an album launch show for his album M
 emories Dreams Reflections at Dingwalls in London. This show was to celebr
 ate 20 years of Banco De Gaia. Marks was joined on stage by three members 
 from the original five-piece band: Hopkins\, Whelan\, and Duggan and vocal
 ist Maya Preece\, who sang on the latest album.
