Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.

Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.

Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
