RM Hubbert and Wounded Knee // Garden Party

RM Hubbert in the Subcity garden

listen

We decided to open up our back-garden to Subcity's club night regulars, punks, older dudes, passerbys and even a bunch of kids. Falling somewhere between field recording, musical performance and party, we recorded two unique performers in a cacophonic mix of improvised performance, audience, bird-song, aeroplanes, mobile phones, guitar cases, cars and drain gurgles.

RM Hubbert's intense guitar technique collects styles from around the world, such as flamenco and taiko - and fuses them with his Glaswegian post-rock roots (he was formerly a member of El Hombre Trajeado), his debut album 'First & Last' is available in physical or pay-what-you-want download.

Wounded Knee is a vocal artist from Edinburgh, he incorporates a postmodern Hebridean waulking song ethic with one of the most accomplished dramatic tenors in contemporary music. Song, spoken word and sound effects drawing influences from as far afield as Gaelic psalm, improvisation and throat techniques à la Bobby McFerrin and even scat. At the heart, a modern symbiosis of folk and mantra, culminating in an artist who is unique, playful and captivating.
