Big Bang Machine CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Nova Special Documenta...

The
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful
particle collider, and the largest single machine in the world, built by
the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) from 1998 to
2008.
Its aim is to allow physicists to test the predictions of
different theories of particle physics and high-energy physics like the
Standard Model, and particularly prove or disprove the existence of the
theorized Higgs boson and of the large family of new particles predicted
by supersymmetric theories. The discovery of a particle matching the
Higgs boson was confirmed by data from the LHC in 2013. The LHC is
expected to address some of the unsolved questions of physics, advancing
human understanding of physical laws. It contains seven detectors, each
designed for certain kinds of research.
The LHC was built in
collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100
countries, as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. It lies
in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as deep as 175
metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva,
Switzerland. It is also the longest machine ever built.
Career:
The
band experimented with different styles of music, for which reason the
media found them hard to categorise. Musically they covered alternative
rock, Goth, pop, ambient and dance. They were sometimes classed as a
Shoegaze band, but musically fell between the Britpop and Grunge camps.
They were signed to their own "Jimmi Kidd Rekords" then to "Parallel
Records" and lastly to "Ultimate Records". BBM were managed by Wayne
Perkins for "Chaos Theatre Productions".
Their most famous song,
"Geek Love", was inspired by the book by Katherine Dunn about a family
of freaks in a travelling circus. The artist David Hughes, who drew the
Geek Love book cover, also illustrated the band's Eternal Happiness
album cover. "Geek Love" also uses audio samples from the controversial
Tod Browning film Freaks. "Geek Love" on CD regularly sells for £25-£35
on www.ebay.co.uk. In 2007 "Geek Love" was voted number 16 on the cult
radio station B92's "Top 20 best singles ever" on www.firerecords.com.
"Geek
Love" was championed by BBC Radio One DJ John Peel as a perfect example
of a band self-financing their debut single; he famously stated, "Even
if they never made another record, they'll have achieved more than most
of us do in our entire lives." It was voted number one in his Festive
Fifty in 1992. The band also recorded a Peel Session at Maida Vale 4
which was engineered and produced by Mike Robinson, but this has never
been released.
They appeared on the Channel 4 programme The Word
doing a live version of their song "Technologica" in 1993. They were
also featured in Deadline comic and Volume magazine. They did cover
versions of T. Rex's "Life's a Gas", Jane's Addiction's "Jayne says" and
Psychic TV's "Godstar." Bang Bang Machine made the unusual choice of
having different songs on the B-sides of some of their 7 inch singles.
Songs such as "I smile" and "You're no good to yourself" only appear on
vinyl and not any of their CDs. Usually bands put extra tracks on CDs.
The "Evil Circus E.P." spent 2 months in the Indie Charts and reached
number 13 in the MELODY MAKER and number 16 in the NME charts. The Evil
Circus E.P. was also "Single of the week" in the NME. The re-released
"Geek Love" spent 7 weeks in the Indie charts. Bang Bang Machine
recorded with the music producers John Fryer, Ray Shulman, Craig Leon
and Angus Wallace. Bang Bang Machine toured with Pulp, Catherine Wheel
and Eight Storey Window. There was a Bang Bang Machine fanzine called
"Bangman" created by BBM fan Leigh Smith.
Steve Eagles now plays
with the jazz-psycho-funk-poetic-punk band Blurt and teaches guitar.
Lamp is a DJ in Brighton and qualified as a sound engineer. Stan Lee
married Elizabeth Freeth in 2005; in 2007 their baby son was born. Stan
Lee A.K.A. Marc Angel now plays with Psychowrath, a new incarnation of
Wrathchild. In 2007 articles appeared in The Evesham Journal and The
Worcester News about possible future one-off gigs. Steve Eagles also
plays with The Bad Boys, a covers band made up of professional
musicians. Elizabeth and Stan/ Marc have also had another child. BBM
fans are still waiting and hoping for Bang Bang Machine to reform.
Respected music writer and photographer Mick Mercer brought out a Bang
Bang Machine photo book in 2012. The Sunday Times Magazine ran an
article on Bang Bang Machine in July 2013 written by Krissi Murison.
Also in 2013 Steve Eagles unearthed a box full of "lost" BBM DAT tapes.
BBM fans Robert Andersen and Leigh Smith helped him to convert them to
CD for possible future online downloads on iTunes. Bang Bang Machine
made 49 tracks from their back catalogue available on iTunes from the
21st October 2015.
