Rewiew from hairentertainment.com
‘When I checked in on Tron Lennon (UK) the ole’ myspace I say that they’d played a venue in Norwich that I played with my old band. It was OK, for indie bands, I couldn’t really imagine how a experimental noise mongering video integrators like Tron Lennon would have fit in there. Anyway, here they fit in well I thought. Tron Lennon consist of a turntabler who cuts and chops very minimal sections from vinyl (only rarely allowing the record to spin enough to perceive what music was on there), and a guitarist, who would create textures and also use various implements (a steel drum brush, a piece of metal) to interfere or manipulate the contacts on the guitar and between the strings. They also used a whole range of effects and units along with video integration to create clever and sometimes comical artistic statements. Beginning with general computer game lo-fi sounds mixed with detuned and modulated electric guitar atonality and sometimes incorporating the kind of bass drones that make you hungry, they boded quite well. Sometimes I thought the performance was a little flat, it kind of ran out of steam a little bit before it was picked back up by one or the other.’
