GIO’s bottomless throat, Blood Stereo’s slobber gobbler and the Mouth Of The South tangle tonsils over Steve McCaffrey’s Carnival
West Coast drone-age guitar grumbler/ consumer electronic reclaimer meets free-thinking clang/ chime/ drone bluesman of The East.

A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.

Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
