The T Minus 50 bulldozer is rumbling into town, and not a moment too soon, driving the latest crop of lo-fi wastrels onto the wayside. They are the ultimate panacea for those who like their guitars accompanied by sample cut-ups and low-slung bass and breaks. Picking up the trail trodden by UNKLE, Sneaker Pimps, Leftfield, Radiohead and Massive Attack, T Minus 50 are propelling the art firmly forward. At the centre of the storm are Timo Baker; triple-tasking on programming, guitar and vocals, with Mace providing seismic sub lines on bass and Neil "Quin" Watkins, assiduously looking after drums and triggering. Their chance meeting in 2005 produced the impetus to turn Baker's embryonic tracks into the fully grown, gold plated monsters they now are. The recent recruitment of the gorgeous Ms. Sarah Dean injecting a tasty slice of vocal sassy-ness and feminity into the mix, the foursome is now complete and the band are set to tear a hole in the landscape of 2009. Unlike many electronic and studio-based bands, the T Minus 50 live show has to be seen to be believed. No pale-face bedroom laptop jockeys here; real instruments are infused with computer technology and a generous dash of stagecraft to provide the syllabus to any Masters course in music performance. T Minus 50 marks the most recent point in a twisted and diverse musical CV, which takes in deals with BMG and Acid Jazz, including three albums and more singles than we've got fingers. Endless touring including the UK, Europ
