Event information

If you look at some of the most exciting, innovative and critically acclaimed electronic music that has come out of the beautiful North of England over the past years; from the psychedelic electronic rock of The Moonlandingz, to the folkloric radiophonic avantgarde Of Eccentronic Research Council ft Maxine Peake, to the party electro of International Teachers of Pop; at the forefront of all these projects (and many more) is a man in a hat and shades called Adrian Flanagan.

Adrian has spent two decades working on the fringes of alternative music as a songwriter, wordsmith, musician, producer, remixer, DJ and cultural agitator – working with artists as diverse as Maxine Peake, Yoko Ono, The Human League's Philip Oakey, Fat White Family, Sean Lennon and many more. Adrian returns with his debut album under the ACID KLAUS moniker, "Step On My Travelator: The Imagined Career Trajectory of Superstar DJ & Dance-Pop Producer, Melvin Harris".

"It's as close to real life as you can get without feeling really depressed about it," Sabrina offers by way of summarising SHELF LIVES – the London-based electro-punk outfit she fronts alongside guitarist/producer Jonny. Much like this point in time, the duo's music feels chaotic, tense, and wired. Pairing hardcore punk's brief blasts of energy with electroclash's minimal and sleazy sonics, they raise themes of societal collapse and hyper-consumerism with a warped smile. The result taps into headspace that's as rotten as it is dopamine-flooded, with pent-up frustration and pop hooks tossed together in a way that makes, in their own words, "the fucked up seem fun".
