Chip’s written some of the greatest of all Sci-Fi and Fantasy—page turning character driven diamond-hard novels and short stories: each a lens that refracts our real-life struggles and desires.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Low-end drone guitarage army since 1997: nobody has done more on this occasion by a gaggle of sludge-lovers from the Scottish underground.
