Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.

A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
