Revision as of 21:16, 14 July 2015

Chris Catalyst playing with The Sisters of Mercy at Rock'n Coke Festival, Istanbul, 2006...

Chris May, commonly known as Chris Catalyst aka Robochrist was recruited as

The Sisters' second guitarist for the 2005 tour and has since been a steady member of the band.

Before that, he had been kicking about Leeds' music scene for several years.

Given the incestuous nature of said scene, it can hardly be surprising that someone who had worked at

Joseph's Well, the notorious scene of 1997's Near Meth Experience gig, has joined The Sisters of Mercy.

Chris had also worked with Adam Pearson at Adam's studio in Headingley, Leeds.

Together they played a one-off gig by The Elvis Presleys From Hell in 2005.

A video of this has recently surfaced on YouTube.

Apart from playing guitars with The Sisters, Chris is a member of the Eureka Machines.

Various promo videos about them exist, for example this one titled Chris Catalyst Cribs.

In October 2012, the band launched their first Pledge Music campaign featuring their third album,

which reached the target amount within 2.5 hours.

Accordingly, their third album Remain In Hope was released on February 21rst, 2013.

Recently, the Eureka Machines started a further Pledge Music Campaign for their FOURTH album,

tentatively entitled ‘BRAIN WAVES’, also including a double DVD featuring 6+ hours of live and

promo footage from the past six years.

UPDATE



BRAIN WAVES was released on March 26th, 2014.

Everything you need to know about the album, the recording process, the artwork, etc.

PLUS various sample tracks can be found @EUREKA MACHINE'S BRAIN WAVES MINI SITE.

An Offical Brain Waves Video has also been released as well, see down below...

Due to the fact that the Pledge Campaign has finished by now, the album is henceforth available here or here.

Most remarkably, the Eureka Machines album Brain Waves has meanwhile entered the BBC UK Rock Album Charts at No.3.

The Eureka Machines are touring regularly.

The next chance to enjoy them playing their stuff live is scheduled for October/November 2015.

For detailled information, please see the Eureka Machines Official Gigs Site or their page on facebook.

Chris Catalyst and the Eureka Machines can also be found on Twitter @Chris Catalyst.

To celebrate the end of their Pledge campaign, and to look to the future, the Eureka Machines did

a "frankly embarrassingly huge interview with the nice people at Team Rock, in particular with Matt Stocks,

see Do or DIY - The Story of Eureka Machines...
