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 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 Oberlin, Ohio, from where he runs the
Hanson Records label and mailorder, this is his first (and long overdue) UK
appearance since appearing alongside Nate Young at The Grosvenor, over six
years ago!

SISSY SPACEK is the band project of american noise artist John Wiese and often includes Corydon Ronnau and Jesse Jackson. Based out of LA, Wiese often describes them as grindcore though their work more often features rapidly spliced samples and blistering noise. Live their performance is more closely related to a furious punk maelstrom, utilizing bass/guitar/drum machine in rapid, heavy metal and hardcore inspired bursts with screamed vocals.
https://sissyspacek.bandcamp.com/
MOOR MOTHER GODDESS’ music is a history lesson, a future lesson, and a comment on the present all at once. And really it is more than a lesson, its a soundscape to these different time dimensions, so that you are hearing and experiencing not only music, but you get the voices of the ancestors, the whispers of our descendants, and the field sounds of the future and past landscapes. She presents an immersive experience in her music that unfolds or unearths some of the hidden dimensions that are embedded in sounds.

THE SPACE LADY
MELTING HEARTS
Wednesday 14 October
The Old Baths, 80 Eastway, Hackney Wick, London, E9 5JH
THE SPACE LADY began her odyssey on the streets of
San Francisco in the late 70s, playing versions of contemporary pop music an
accordion and dressed flamboyantly, transmitting messages of peace and harmony.
Following the theft of her accordion, The Space Lady invested in a then-new
Casio keyboard, birthing an otherworldly new dimension to popular song that has
captured the imaginations of the underground and its lead exponents ever since,
with the likes of John Maus, Erol Alkan and Kutmah being devotees. Of her
early street sets, only one recording was made, self-released originally on
cassette and then transferred to a homemade CD. "The Space Lady’s Greatest
Hits" released last year through Night School features the best of these
recordings - mostly covers but with some originals - pressed on vinyl for the
first time and features archival photographs and liner notes from The Space
Lady herself. “Greatest Hits” contains The Space Lady’s personal favourites;
her haunting take on The Electric Prunes’ “I Had Too Much To Dream (Last
Night),” a frantic “Ballroom Blitz” amidst other reconstructed pop music.
Following on from this wonderful record, The Space Lady has begun writing new
material and travelling the world to present her message outside the United
States for the first time. This show follows on from her sensational appearance
at Rudolf Steiner House last year!

MELTING HEARTS is Samuel Meri, a man with a reputation for slow movements but despite this, he has still managed to spend hundreds of hours in some of Helsinki’s sleaziest karaoke bars, gathering inspiration for his enigmatic, fantasy pop group ‘The Melting Hearts’. Taking cues from Dub, Tango, Finnish Schlager music & disco, Samu has contributed several of his songs to various cassette comps over the years (akin the the infamous petrol station only/truck driver friendly cassette comps rife through-out Finland during the 70s & 80s) as well as recording an excellent 7″ for Jaakko Eino Kalevi’s JEKS imprint. Flash forward to 2015 and The Melting Hearts set their sights on the UK & Europe at large with a long player for Neen Records currently in the works.
