Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.

In 2008 we toured our Kill Your Timid Notion festival of experimental sound and image to London, Bristol and Glasgow, bringing audiences a taste of the previous 5 festival editions.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
A workshop inviting participants to enact a series of scores that explore witnessing, testimony, grief and mourning, facilitated by Mezna and Sadia, and accompanied by Sakina Ali.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
