Sounds from the Brighton Underground
Cafe Oto, London
Saturday 20 August 2011

Doors: 8pm
Tickets: £6 advance / £7 on the door

A one night showcase of some of the main artists involved in Brighton's closely knit post-Noise weirdo-improv scene.



HEREHAREHERE

Robin Dickinson (who also performs solo electronics as Slow Listener) and Melanie Potter perform no-fi a'cappella vocal improv rituals.




BAD ORB

Bad Orb is the solo project of Sarah Albury (Polly Shang Kuan Band, Jettatura) whose audio-visual work lies in the blurry area between fact and fiction.

HOBO SONN

Solo joint of Ian Murphy (Gryn Brvs), uses a single sound source and dissolves it into the finest hiss and crackle.




BLOOD STEREO

Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance create thick, psychedelic audio-mulch with tapes, throats and objects.

"Blood Stereo... explores hand-cranked 20th century technology in combination with epiglottal gymnastics and free music modes inherited as much from punk rock's mutilated aesthetic as utopian art styles." David Keenan

Dylan Nyoukis on Dusted

Every Friday, Dusted Magazine publishes a series of music-related lists compiled by their favorite artists. This week, Brighton's king mong tapelord the Chocolate Monk himself Dylan Nyoukis put up the top 10 artists currently assailing his headspace. Amazngly, we have actually heard of one of the records he mentions. A price for you if you can guess which one it is.

Dylan also got a random mention at the end of Stewart Voegtlin's review of Locrian's (bleakly awesome) Drenched Lands on the Left Hand Path. This happened back in March but I only stumbled across it on Friday - the same day this Dusted feature came up. Weird.

VIDEO: Laundry Room Squelchers @ International Noise Conference

Laundry Room Squelchers were the final act at Sunday's International Noise Conference at the Greenhouse Effect. Nate Young (of Wolf Eyes) was there in the audience before his show on Monday and joined them on vokills. It was a pretty intense and kinetic end to an evening of twisted feral atmospherics, freeform freakiness, and Scotch Egg's digitonal blissquake.

Here's pics of some of the other acts:
