British electronic music duo PLAID (Andy Turner and Ed Handley) return to NAC this autumn.
Old school friends who have been recording together since 1988, their work has been released under various guises over the years; Atypic, Balil, Repeat, Tura amongst others.
Most of their early recording years were with The Black Dog, a group and recording label they had started with Ken Downie.
In 1993 they were signed by Warp Records and have continued to work with them since.
They have remixed and collaborated with many artists, including Björk, Goldfrapp, The London Sinfonietta, Nicolette and Unkle.
Plaid tour extensively, often with the video artist Bob Jaroc, whose work has often accompanied their music during their live performances and with whom they developed a DVD entitled Greedy Baby, released in 2006.
In the same year they also completed their first soundtrack for the award winning Japanese animated feature ‘TekkonKinkreet’.
Their next album ‘Scintilli’ will be released on 26th September 2011.
