WEDNESDAY 26th March

HOTOTOGISU
http://www.hototogisu.org
Hototogisu is the transatlantic ecstatic metal duo of Leeds' Matthew Bower (of Skullflower, Sunroof!, Total, collaborater with Sunburned Hand of the Man, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Astral Social Club, Chris Corsano and many more) and NYC's Marcia Bassett (of UN, GHQ, Double Leopards & Zaimph). Ludicrously heavy, their sound is a total purging of the nervous system in iron-clad movements, populated by machine gun guitar thrash, rib-throbbing microphone feedback and orchestras of alarm codes - a sensory blitzkreig of the extremist kind.

ASHTRAY NAVIGATIONS
http://www.myspace.com/ashtraynavigations
Phil Todd's junkyard aesthetic focuses around an acute misinterpretation of Hindu Classical Music common to many teenage guitar-lashers of his deluded generation. Forthcoming triple LP on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label.

INSEMINOID
Synth horror duo of Culver and Mutant Ape. Culver is multi-discipline UK avant experimentalist with ever lengthening, very underground discography. Key figure in the Northern noise and sludge rock scenes.
Has collaborated with Keith Fullerton Whitman and Alan Courtis amongst others, and had releases on Campbell 'Birchville Cat Motel' Kneale's Celebrate Psi Phenomenon imprint, amongst many others. Currently performing as one half of the legendary Skullflower. Mutant Ape is George Proctor, legendary perveyor of harsh sounds and member of Wolfguts.
