TERRY
THE HOMOSEXUALS RUSSELL WALKER Tuesday 18th September Moth Club, Old Trades Hall, Valette St, Hackney Central, E9 6NU 7.30pm | £9 | TICKETS
TERRY is getting ready, combing
his hair, buttoning his jacket, turning the key in the door. "I'm doing
fine," sings Terry out loud, he knows. Divide him into four and you get
Al Montfort (UV Race, Total Control, Dick Diver etc.), Amy Hill
(Constant Mongrel, Primo, School Of Radiant Living), Xanthe Waite
(Primo, Mick Harvey Band) and Zephyr Pavey (Eastlink, Total Control,
Russell Street Bombings). Inevitably, Terry likes to make a noise.
Drums, guitars and all his voices come into play, making a solid raft
for Terry's inner musings to navigate the languid rapids. This all
unravels at its own pace, sometimes drifting into glam punk and country
backwaters, always conducting a conversation with the commonplace. Terry
also make us a bit queasy at times, singing about police beatings and
nationalism and all that. But they’re not out to hurt you. They’re like
the kindly bearer of bad news. There’s some awful stuff going on around
the world. Terry puts it in terms that speak to all. It’s a tragicomedy.
I’m pretty certain Terry isn’t perverse, they’re just the harbinger of
the encroaching perverse world. I’m pretty certain Terry wants to be my
friend, and your friend. Our friend, Terry. ‘I’m Terry’, the band’s
third album in three years, is out this summer through Upset The Rhythm.
https://terryhq.bandcamp.com/ THE HOMOSEXUALS are the inspired focus of Bruno Wizard! Bruno Wizard is an underground music luminary, an iconoclast, an evangelist for DIY practice, who formed The Homosexuals out of the ashes of The Rejects in 1976. The Homosexuals were a strange prospect. Seemingly, their music should fit into a similar spot as that of angry young men like Wire and Magazine who carried their penchants for art-school angst in the midst of proto-thug posturing, like badges of authentic alienation. And of course, in many ways, these bands were alienated at least from what had been passing for British rock prior to 1976. However, L'Voag (aka Jim, Amos, and now, Xentos), Anton (aka George Harassment) and Bruno were also part of a different scene, where more "progressive" notions of artistic protest were at stake: This Heat, Family Fodder and Chris Cutler's bands Henry Cow and the Art Bears were some of the names going at it in these circles. Their music was a sprawling bag of angular power-pop, quasi-dub, garage-punk and other stuff I'd liken to Faust or some such lunatic mob. Releasing a few 7”s, a tape and a posthumous LP by 1984, the band then called it a day. Bruno continues though, having reformed the band since 2003 with a variety of new lineups. 2016 saw The Homosexuals release their ‘Important If True’ record collecting new and unreleased recordings from the band committed to tape in NYC. Bruno also starred in ‘The Heart Of Bruno Wizard’ documentary about his creative life that premiered at Cannes in 2014. https://thehomosexuals.bandcamp.com/ RUSSELL WALKER, known as the uncanny lyricist/vocalist for The Pheromoans, Bomber Jackets etc, treats us to an exceedingly rare solo live appearance. Walker released his solo album proper in 2016 through Vitrine, contributed to a recent compilation on Kye and has a spoken album due out on Chocolate Monk soon called ‘Half Time 1916’. Walker also published his latest book ‘When New Towns Act Tough’ in 2016, well worth tracking down on Larching Books! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnVtAsspaKM |

WOLF EYES are pitching up for a
special three-day residency for us at Cafe OTO, following on from the
reissue of their seminal 'Dread' LP as well as new double LP from
Universal Eyes, 'Four Variations On Artificial Society', that brings
together Wolf Eyes and the reborn Universal Indians project which first
emerged in 1993.
Born in the dead, dread-filled haunted
hills of Michigan, Wolf Eyes are the rabid beasts of Trip Metal &
have been ploughing through new tunnels of the underworld since 1997.
Pure audio stun, homemade post-nuclear terror & claustrophobic
atmospheres, the most shattered and confusing horrorvision since Bo
Diddley dropped the duct taped warhead on all humans in 2024.
Universal Eyes started as Universal
Indians in Lansing Michigan in the early shadows of the 90's with
Gretchen Gonzales (now Gonzales - Davidson), Bryan "Rammer" Ramirez,
& Johnny "Inzane" Olson. The trio started as a Jesse Harper cover
band and managed to play every single basement that had a power outlet
in the Tri-county area. After moving to the Detroit area in the late
90's, Rammer was replaced by Aaron Dilloway and also joined by Nathan
Young / a duo that were already in the throes of primitive electronic
global domination that is WOLF EYES. The collective quartet played every
basement, art space, record store, and club in the metro area that had a
power outlet and could also handle the Michigan Progressive Underground
audio sprawl. Around the dawn of the 2000's / Gretchen went full time
with the moody & cold stylings of Slumber Party and after a wild
Bowling Green Ohio gig, Olson joined Wolf Eyes full time. After some
drama that would make even Fleetwood Mac disappear into the shadows of
suburbia and tossing their EQ into a lonely fire, Universal Indians
appeared to have faded into the packed history book pages of Michigan
musical lore.
As age and time seem to dust over
wounds while magically healing them, the quartet met again in the
northern suburbs of metro Detroit on a brisk spring Sunday in 2018,
hauled modern and ancient instruments into a home studio and just like
that: the dream / nightmare had hot blood pumping thru its' duct-taped
sound body once again, as if the missing years were nothing but a minute
hurdle.
Wolf Eyes Music 2018 Residency Series
is the the musical duo of Nate Young and John Olson in collaboration
with performance artists and unique musicians. For this special three
day event at Cafe OTO, Wolf Eyes welcome Yeah You, Vicky Langan and
Beatrice Dillon as collaborators.
