KAMURA will be joining our guests - our resident artiste at Club Integral Midlands Branch, Japanese agit-femme vocalist and electricist. Former member of Frank Chickens and Mizutama Shobodan (Polka Dot Fire Brigade) the first Japanese feminist punk band. Voice-modulated improvisation and eco-surrealist chansons are weaved into the bizarre world of the experimental. “Kamura’s various voices combine to create an indeterminate libretto in which bird song, ocean waves and white noise stand tall. …Synthesised melodies shift the atmosphere from B movie horror, past new age ambient and on to playful children’s song. ..”

PSYCHOYOGI are Chris Ramsing - guitar & vocals, Chris Sansom - bass & vocals, Ravi Low-Beer - drums. Challenging though accessible, being influenced by musicians and composers such as Frank Zappa, King Crimson, XTC, Captain Beefheart, Gong, The Beatles, Gentle Giant, Bach, Bartok and Stravinsky and most things left of centre. Their music is unique and does not adhere to a single musical style. Lyrics that challenge current social values and music that excites and stimulates. Jazz, progressive rock and classical influence. Many musical munchies...
