Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.

Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
Sarah Washington uses electronics and wind-up radios, running out of charge to repsond to the festivals’ Self Cancellation provocation.

A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.

Out holler/ howl of English pukenoise posterboys exploded by incessant insect chatter of Northern fug dweller.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
Power-electronic klutz behaviour indecipherable blasphemies, cuts, bruises and broken microphones by Kovorox Sound head-honcho Lea Cummings.
