Afternoon everyone!
I trust your dodging the April showers
with flair, as we seem to have all seasons at once thrown at us today!
Some more predictable forecasting comes in the shape of our live music
program that sees us organising a show next Friday at DIY Space For
London for underground party legends Quintron & Miss Pussycat.
A must for anyone who loves offbeat,
dreamlike puppetry as much as dancing the room to ruin, this show also
features conceptual kindred spirits Ravioli Me Away and looks set
to soar. Quintron & Miss Pussycat concerts are rarer than hen’s
teeth outside of New Orleans, so I can’t emphasize enough how special
this will be.
Talking of one off events, our final show of the month features trip metal pioneers Wolf Eyes reunited with their prodigal tape-n-mic gnawer Aaron Dilloway in support.

Opening April 29th’s show at the Tufnell Park Dome will be out-punk thrashers No Form,
so the speakers are going to be well and truly tested to their limits
for this! Full listings for both concerts can be found in full below.

QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT
RAVIOLI ME AWAY
Friday 22 April
DIY Space For London, 96-101 Ormside St, South Bermondsey, SE15 1TF
7.30pm | £10 | TICKETS

QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT have been making
genre-defying noise and “Swamp-Tech” dance music in New Orleans for over
fifteen years. The majority of their ten full-length albums have the
psychedelic soul of New Orleans garage R&B filtered through a tough
distorted Hammond B-3 and a cache of self-made electronic instruments.
Quintron has also released strange soundscapes based on inner-city field
recordings of frogs and neighborhood ambiance. Quintron regards his
most significant creation to be his patented instrument called the DRUM
BUDDY, a light activated analog synthesizer that creates murky,
low-fidelity, rhythmic patterns.
Miss Pussycat, otherwise known as Panacea Theriac, is a New Orleans
based puppeteer. Born in Antlers, Oklahoma, she began learning puppetry
at the Christian Puppet Youth Ministry at the First Baptist Church of
Antlers. She began her professional career in New Orleans and assisted
in founding the influential night club “Pussycat Caverns.” For the past
fifteen years she has travelled internationally conducting puppet shows
in rock clubs and at international festivals. She is the President of
Rhinestone Records and produces vinyl LPs of her puppet’s many bands.
The Quintron and Miss Pussycat live show is one of barely controlled
electronic chaos, crazed dance beats, small explosions, colourful
clothes, and entertaining puppet stories; in short always a revelation.
RAVIOLI ME AWAY are a dangerously ambitious and delusional
all-girl jazzy, post-pop-punk, hip-funk outfit with a stylistic theme
spanning all past, present and future human cultures and subcultures. Consider
vintage Bananarama played with twice the sass and urgency, only
reflected in the eyes of a much overworked and downright exhausted Julie
Burchill on acid. Check out their excellent debut album on Good Job and
their split LP with Dog Chocolate on Upset The Rhythm now for proof of
their genius.

WOLF EYES
AARON DILLOWAY
NO FORM
Friday 29 April
Tufnell Park Dome, 178 Junction Road, Tufnell Park, N19 5QQ
7.30pm | £10 | TICKETS
WOLF EYES are the foremost trip
metal band in the multiverse. Whilst their infamous blistering noise
propelled them from being a dank Ann Arbour, Michigan basement sensation
to the upper ranks of Sub Pop, their music has since mutated into a
meticulous cudgel of creeping dread, halting rhythms and snarled
melodics. From touring with Sonic Youth and Andrew W.K., Wolf Eyes have
crossed borders into popularity which few other such confrontational
units of their ilk have been able to and kept straight and narrow on
their blazing path. Originally started as the solo project of former
Nautical Almanac member Nate Young, he was soon joined by Aaron Dilloway
in 1998, John Olson in 2000 then Mike Connelly and now Crazy Jim. They
has released over 150 recordings in their relatively short lifespan, on
labels such as Bulb Records, Troubleman Unlimited, Fusetron, and Sub
Pop, as well as on Olson’s American Tapes label, Dilloway’s Hanson
Records, Mike Connelly’s Gods of Tundra label and Nate Young’s AA
Records. This show sees Wolf Eyes play a headline show drawing from
their stunning new album “I am a problem: mind in pieces”, out now on
Jack White’s Third Man Records.
AARON DILLOWAY hails from
Michigan, and is perhaps best known as a founding member of formidable
trip metal gods Wolf Eyes. Since he left that band a decade ago, he’s
delicately extended his exploration of tape manipulations, ritualised
performance and found-sound appropriation, simultaneously bringing
warmth and acidity, high-end assault and dreamy dislocation in a way
that could be said to unwittingly form a bridge between Robert Ashley
and hauntology. A serial collaborator, he’s also made great records in
cahoots with Jason Lescalleet, C. Spencer Yeh and many more and been
compared to Maryanne Amacher and Nurse With Wound. Currently based in
Malta this show follows on from his recent electrifying appearances in
London with Sissy Spacek, Vicky Langan and Evan Parker. https://www.facebook.com/Aaron-Dilloway-136620113037549/
NO FORM invoke a dark portal,
bathing in the murk, devoid of all light. This is punk, as antagonistic
and cleansing as it ever can be. No Form’s notorious live power is
finally captured on their debut LP (co-released by Reagent Records and
Muscle Horse), with four shorter pulsating numbers on Side A and one
long jam on Side B that approaches the outer limits. Shrill,
disconcerting guitar leads and tormented vocals slither over an
affirmative pummel that exists at the meeting point between outlier
hardcore punk and proto-industrial at its most confrontational.
Deceptively catchy thrashing coexists with sinister, siren-call sax
wails. This is music for the perennially despondent, music as life
ritual.
