Hey everyone!
Huge thanks to all of you for coming out this last
week to see Pikacyu-Makoto and Spray Paint & The Rebel.
We’re not through with you yet though, tomorrow (yes, Thursday night) we’ll be
pitching up at The Islington in Angel for an evening of Psycho-Jazz excess from
Wolf Eyes in their solo guises. We’ll have John R. Olson, Regression
and Crazy Jim all performing in the name of weird yet powerful times.
Tickets cost £10 and will be available on the door from 7.30pm, imagine sonic
eruptions commencing 8.30pm. Read on for all the specifics.
Also, whilst we have your attention, please find
below the full scoop on our upcoming Warm Digits and Comfort
concert next week on Friday 25th August. If you’re into "machine
funk kraut-a-delia" (and who isn’t?) this show is about to take the roof
off. Really excited to have Glasgow’s Comfort
joining the lineup for this one too, along with our excellent Upset The Rhythm DJs. Enjoy…

JOHN R. OLSON
NATE YOUNG’S REGRESSION
CRAZY JIM
Thursday 17 August
The Islington, 1 Tolpuddle St, Angel, London, N1 0XT
7.30pm | £10.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/409977
JOHN R. OLSON aka Inzane Johnny of Wolf Eyes and American Tapes will be treating us to a solo slice from his mind platter, featuring reeds and modulations galore. As a part of Wolf Eyes, Olson is responsible for augmenting the USA's longest-running homemade, primitive, electronic, poetry & radical vibes trio. They don't just release albums they launch scotched, taped nuclear audio fronts on humanity. Earlier this year saw them release their new album ‘Undertow’ packed full of what Olson does best; unnerving dread meets genuine freedom vibes that shiver their way through the dark ambience of it all.
http://www.wolfeyes.net/main.html
REGRESSION is the solo project of Nate Young, a founding member of seminal Detroit noise band Wolf Eyes. More recently he's been honing an equally distinctive solo sound that blends myriad sources from musique concrète, vintage film atmospherics, layered synths and archive library recordings into something thrillingly intense. Summoning up crushingly ominous crepuscular soundscapes and synth-washed phantasmagoria, Young undercuts the brutalism of Wolf Eyes with the kind of ambient dread that conjures images of lost horror soundtracks from the 70's. Minimal analogue synth violence is punctuated by thunder cracks of metal percussion ala the early Akita/Null Merzbow duets, massively doomy beat hypnotics and an atmosphere that's somewhere between the most apocalyptic Throbbing Gristle recordings, Coil's Musick To Play In The Dark, The Conet Project and your favourite Kraut kosmonaut. Young's most recent album 'Blinding Confusion' (out on NNA Tapes) has the feel of a kind of post-synth electro-acoustic ritual, albeit tied-in with a visionary compositional aesthetic that is a couple of miles beyond your average weird-beard in a basement non-vibe.

CRAZY JIM aka James
‘Crazy Jim’ Baljo, is proof that not every side-project of Wolf Eyes results in
noise. Veering towards the sweet and ambient, Crazy Jim uses only guitars to
build huge waves of tonic abstraction. Nate Young credits Crazy Jim as
"the first person to coin the term INZANE and plays and lives
accordingly", look out for some sweet folk-tuned bliss and tape delay
guitar gloop.

7.30pm | £8.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/407325
WARM DIGITS are Steve Jefferis and Andrew Hodson; a
trans-pennine, krautophonic blizzard-wave duo that emerged from Newcastle upon
Tyne's underground scene with a sound like Neu and Cluster forming a supergroup
with Giorgio Moroder, Kevin Shields, Eno and Keith Levene. Their first album,
'Keep Warm... with the Warm Digits', came out in 2011 on Newcastle's Distraction
Records; Andrew Weatherall described them as producing some fine "machine
funk kraut-a-delia" and the duo were soon went on to headline one of his
Live From Outer Space events. Live, Warm Digits are a motoric epiphany of
drums, guitar and pulsing hardware, complete with mesmeric kosmische visuals;
all that on-stage multi-tasking making their live sets a dynamic kraut-disco
experience. The last few years have seen Warm Digits release a second album
entitled 'Interchange', tour with British Sea Power and support the legendary
Goblin, St Etienne, Future Islands and ESG. Warm Digits now have a new album
out now on Memphis Industries, featuring vocal contributions from Field Music,
Sarah Cracknell (of Saint Etienne), Devon Sproule and Mia La Metta (of Beards).
Look out for some special vocal guests on the night of the show too!
COMFORT are a queer punk two piece from Glasgow that
make music that trades out guitar and bass for a more electronic/sample based
approach. Pulsating bass, glitchy synths, crushed drums and vocal rhetoric all
feature in their contagiously brilliant dialogue. Check out their first
collection of songs titled ‘Built to Waste’ on their bandcamp now.
Thanks for spending your time with us,
see you tomorrow!
