about

An anonymous Sheffield collective comprising several members playing drums/percussion, keyboards, samples/tapes and a live slide/video lightshow. A deliberate no guitars or vocals ethos.

A demo review from the time: "Luddgang are an 8 person collective from Sheffield, England. 5 of those 8 people play drums, another handles the sound bytes & samples, another the slideshows (for live performances), and the last doing the merchandise/literature table. There's no guitar, no bass, and no vocals. Imagine, if you will, intense tribal drumming similiar to that of later-day Neurosis. Overtop of this you have samples instead of guitars. Sound bytes instead of vocals. Now, if you can imagine this, you might have just somewhat of a clue as to what Luddgang sounds like."

Released one single now much sought-after. and played a handful of gigs only. There are some photos them at The Hallamshire (supporting Oi polloi) and appearing in Derby, on the STA Facebook page.

This excellent quality demo is the master tape, lent by one band-member, who suggested that he and others in the collective (several of whom were members of other well known Sheffield bands) remain anonymous as was the original intent.
