Pendulum are legends in the drum & bass world, and always attract a huge crowd of hardcore fans wherever they go.

The Australian band are returning to The Stannary at Penryn.

Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen and Paul Harding have been making headlines all over the world with their DJ sets. In addition, their debut album was one of the biggest selling drum & bass releases of all time.

The last 12 months have seen Pendulum retreat to the depths of the underground to work on their second album, and to hone and perfect their sound for the live arena.

Finding that using purely electronic sounds left something to be desired, they fetched their guitars and worked on perfecting their ultimate sound - an electronic Led Zeppelin, a crunked up Soundgarden, Tool meets Timbaland, combined with the synthetic aggression and sonic purity of the original Pendulum sound.

"While technology continues to constantly advance production techniques and (arguably) sound quality, something has been lost in the process - that original sense of self-escape, the idea of leaving yourself open to experience something you don't necessarily find in every-day life.

"That was the energy we picked up on and liked about electronic music when we first got into it. It felt like the same energy found with bands like Led Zeppelin and even The Beatles, and still occasionally today with bands like Tool, The Mars Volta, Queens Of The Stone Age and others."

Catch Pendulum at The Stannary in Penryn on Saturday 10 November from 9pm.
