Matthew Bower

"...dreamlike, with degraded breaths of feedback and metal resonance curdled with halos of harmonic presence that are almost Kosugi-like in their celestial aspect" [ Volcanic Tongue ]

" [Tribulation] spends so long scorching the high-end that it’s probably capable of evaporating water." [ Stylus Magazine ]


Chris Corsano

"an umbilical connection straight to the source of modern musical freedom" [ Volcanic Tongue ]

"Skeletal polyrhythms spill over into flesh-‘n’-blood pulses; cymbals burst around hemorrhaging drumheads." [ Stylus Magazine ]


Heather Leigh Murray

"Heather Leigh's exquisitely violent pedal steel stylings and free vocal improvisations seemed to touch on aspects of both Patty Waters, Lydia Lunch and Keiji Haino's flesh-extensions while resolutely refusing anything approaching previously-articulated tongue" [ Volcanic Tongue ]

"...fingers spider’d slowly around strings; tones splashed like stones tossed to water; vocals deconstructed maternal lullabies, front porch hootenannys, the bluest blues. What was left was nothing but a porch rocker of sound, legs marking time on creaking boards, its motion conveying presence only seconds earlier." [ Stylus Magazine ]

Richard Youngs

"...avant garde strategies not as a massive break with the past but as a resumption of a suppressed tradition, making overt the connection between ‘basic’ folk modes and experimental approaches by working roughhouse musical gestures into sublime new alphabets." [ Volcanic Tongue ]

Nackt Insecten

"Eerie dead-air workings and charged minimal crackle...stilled in a syrup of drone in classic drugged Skaters style" [ Volcanic Tongue ]

GODOT

"Doomy, static, brain-throbbing electronics" [ Volcanic Tongue ]

"deepspace sub frequency grumble...that shifts and builds astutely, retaining a cold aggression while being both attentive and faithful to its stated underlying themes." [ Metalireland.com ]

More details when they arrive, but keep checking http://www.volcanictongue.com and http://www.subcity.org for more info.

This is going to be one hell of a night, and a total one-off. Three of modern outsider improv's most exciting players in one line-up for the very first time.

For more details on all the acts involved, head to http://www.volcanictongue.com and search their names.

Unbelievable.

Cheers Laura - was a fucking crazy night!

I hurt all over today though. Not fun.

Cheers to everyone who came down and rinsed it out - was muchly appreciated. Didn't have much of a chance to speak to anyone really, was busy all night - so apologies for not being much craic!

That headline bill will probably never happen again - bit of improv history right there. Genius.

ARGh. how was the sound btw... sorry i had to go, but my need to eat for the next couple weeks drives me a little,although i have just found a bunch of ginger nuts which should keep me going for a bit.

I had the mother of all hang overs on Saturday night and couldn't make it due to my bodies need to vomit. I'm still pissed off I missed it, stupid crappy body. >_<

I wonder where those came from.

Yeah, there was some left for us too. They'd gone a bit soft though

nacht insekten and godot are both extraordinary bands - they should be played more often on subcity raio!!!
i can't seem to find their music anywhere in major record stores...
maybe i should start looking in underground 2nd hand record stores from now on. By the way, you can find here lots of jem / ibanez information.

FYI Godot is a presenter on subcity raio!!

Best get in touch with via his myspace or as Chris GRIND YOUR MIND to see if he has any music to sell you

[rockislandline]

FYI Godot is a presenter on subcity radio!!

He currently presents Black Static Transmission on Monday nights. Playlists can be found on the forum and listen again files for the past year are available at any time here.

Check out either Volcanic Tongue or Monorail for some Nackt Insecten and GODOT stuff, there should be some in stock. I should have a few things lying around the flat which I can throw your way too.

Failing that, I'll be playing a live improv set with local visual artist Leah Miller-Biot on 22nd Feb at The Ivy in Glasgow. Bump on down for that one, should be pretty tasty!
