The TUSK Tour

Event information

All great explosions result in some fascinating fall-out. Our explosion is TUSK Festival (http://www.tuskfestival.com), taking place in Newcastle this October, and the resultant fall-out is the TUSK Tour, taking place over 4 UK cities and 5 dates and featuring an eclectic cast of esoteric geniuses.

So, from TUSK Fest, we bring legendary ex-Harry Pussy guitar shredder Bill Orcutt and purveyor of caustic noise and personal, childlike songs, Jessica Rylan. And we add Newcastle’s Posset and his madly professorial brand of quiet noise.

On the way, we pick up Vampire Blues, the duo of Serfs and Hunter Gracchus members; Irish guitar prodigy Cian Nugent performing with a full band (you must have heard his ‘Doubles’ lp by now, yes?); the shamanistic skronk of The Hunter Gracchus; Steve Gunn’s raga-infused guitar explorations, and at the final date in London, Bill Orcutt reprises his duo with English rhythmic powerhouse Paul Hession.
