Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Three (thankfully short) chats wherein we try and get at what’s eating us with regards to experimental music, and what we think might be worth salvaging.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
