Astral Social Club last night were fantastic. I've enjoyed Kylie Minoise too but for reasons that weren't musical at all.

Purcell Room
The Wire magazine presents the scope Friday 7 November 2008, 9.30pm A free late night event of out there sounds. Programmed by The Wire magazine, and taking its name from the bar in Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, this free late-night event features a sequence of performances by a number of Stockhausen's feral children. In the Purcell Room, experience a total frequency assault by a crack crew of modern laptop technicians led by John Wall, plus a full kontakte piano and percussion improv session featuring Pat Thomas, Mark Sanders and John Coxon. This all happens on either side of a rare screening of The Brothers Quay's In Absentia, which visualises music by Stockhausen. Meanwhile, in The Front Room, experience the Radio Cologne sound. |
Peter Brotzmann: Brötzmann-Wertmueller-Pliakas
The Final Terror Saturday 15 November 2008, 7.45pm Peter Brötzmann is a living legend of the European free improv scene, well known for his part alongside the seminal producer Bill Laswell in the iconic Last Exit band. This year sees the 40th anniversary of his recording Machine Gun, a revolutionary statement that set the standard for a no-holds-barred European response to free jazz. Following a blistering broadcast for Jazz on 3 earlier this year, this electrifying trio generates sonic wave upon wave of loud and fast, rocket-fuelled jazz.Acoustic Ladyland frontman Pete Wareham brings more loud raw jazz from his new band The Final Terror. Fusing his explosive saxophones with pounding beats from drummer Leo Taylor and the driving electric bass of Ruth Goller, texturised by guitarist Chris Sharkey of trioVD they produce enough sonic mayhem to more than justify their name. |

South Bank Centre - Purcell Room
Leee Black Childers House of Homosexual Culture Friday 30 January 2009, 7.45pm £20.00  Leee Black Childers is one of the key witnesses of 20th century popular culture. As an intimate of the Warhol Factory in the 1960s, he met and photographed the stars of the New York rock and gay underground, absorbing Warhol’s reportage aesthetic and creating a unique record of the Stonewall era. He witnessed the birth of glam rock in the clubs of London and New York, and in 1972 became a key player in David Bowie’s management company, accompanying Bowie all over the world. As a photographer, Leee captured the famous faces of 1970s music and nightlife - and he was also part of that scene, managing Johnny Thunders, watching the emergence of punk rock on both sides of the Atlantic. Leee Black Childers comes to London to talk about his amazing life and times, focusing on Andy Warhol’s only stage play PORK (1970), for which he was stage manager, and tracing its influence through music and gay culture since.

i've had such fun at this tonight. they were so good, they give circuit-bending the good name it deserves. Me and my friend came up with the 'toycore' tag, which was a term obviouly overused throughout the night. 'Duran Duran for paedos' was another one. |

 Animal Collective 7:00pm - Mon 12th Jan 2009 Animal Collective is a New York City-based group of experimental musicians from Baltimore, Maryland. Animal Collective consists of Avey Tare (David Portner), Panda Bear (Noah Lennox), Deakin (Josh Dibb), and Geologist (Brian Weitz). Records released under the name Animal Collective may include contributions from any or all of these members; the lineup is not uniform. The band members met in school and started recording together in various forms of collaboration from a young age. Although the band is often classified as psych folk or noise rock, it is hard to define the Animal Collective sound as they often experiment with diverse styles and ideas from album to album. The group also runs the record label Paw Tracks on which they have released their own material as well as material by artists such as Ariel Pink, Terrestrial Tones, and The Peppermints. |

Tuesday 03 March 2009
UPSET THE RHYTHMN PRESENTS DEERHUNTER PLUS WOMEN + WAWES DEERHUNTER began in 2001 with the ambition of fusing the lulling hypnotic states induced by ambient and minimalist music with the klang and propulsion of garage rock. Co-founded by Bradford Cox and Moses Archuleta in Atlanta, the band have since produced two LPs and four EPs worth of astonishing "ambient punk" - their own description - picking up devotees and different musicians along the way. Their mantra is decisive: "to achieve harmony in bad taste is the height of elegance" and so far they haven't dissapointed Jean Genet.... More Time: 7.30pm Admission: £9.00 in advance. All shows at Scala are 18+ unless otherwise stated. Tickets: www.ticketweb.co.uk 08444 771 000 or Scalas box office between 10am and 6pm Mon-Fri Buy tickets online |

Nova Scotia, Ben Spiers & Alex Mein Smith
17/01/09 Café Oto 18-22 Ashwin St, Dalston London, London and South East E8 3DL UK Cost: £6/£4 Nova Scotia Don't let the name fool you, this Nova Scotia hail from beyond the 40th parallel to the south of the equator – from Wellington, New Zealand, and this will be their first show in 3 years and their only show outside of New Zealand's borders. For almost 15 years the members of Nova Scotia have been creating music that attempts to be both challenging and majestic, taking part in a groundswell of abstract music in New Zealand including the likes of Peter Wright, Antony Milton and Sandoz Lab Technicians, and releasing their music on notable labels such as PseudoArcana, Metonymic, and Ikiusuus. Their music is not improvised music of reckless abandon, but carefully crafted abstract soundscapes of the most deliberate nature. Crystal glasses sing, distant pipes whistle, and beautiful acoustic guitar figures hang in the air. A piano interrupts the band's attempt to drill to the centre of the earth. Or as Bruce Russell of the Dead C was moved to quote, "There are new things in heaven and earth, Horatio". For fans of AMM, No Neck Blues Band, Sun City Girls, Alastair Galbraith, and Vibracathedral Orchestra. This is going to be your one chance to see them, and you're going to want to tell your grandkids about this one. http://www.myspace.com/everythinghaspaused Ben Spiers Another alumni of the New Zealand school of abstract music, Spiers' CV reads like a "Who's Who" of New Zealand's noise glitterati, having performed as a member of Glory Fckn Sun (w/ Antony Milton), Birchville Cat Motel, and 1/3 Octave Band. No mere gun-for-hire, used to flesh out the already impressive sonic capabilities of the aforementioned acts, he is more than capable of creating a glacial racket of his own. Spiers' sound of a time-condensed recording of a guitar being decimated by age, tumbling out of tune, and finally breathing out it's lasts gasps of amplitude on the ground offers a nice counterpoint to the pastoral landscapes of Nova Scotia. His releases on labels such as Campbell Kneale's Celebrate Psi Phenomenon, PseudoArcana, and Last Visible Dog have all garnered extensive praise. This chap doffs his cap in the direction of guitarists Keiji Haino, Rudolph Grey, Matthew Bower, and Lou Reed (Metal Machine Music era, of course). So line up to have your brain fried, because rumour has it, he may be returning to NZ and you'll wake up feeling cheated if you miss him. http://www.myspace.com/transientrecordings Alex Mein Smith is another ex-pat New Zealander, now based in London, where he has set about burning his silhouette into the local scene with his music's electronic scorch. While his music contains elements of the "soundtracks to the landscape" New Zealand music is known for, in reality, his music is entrenched fully in the stratosphere, keeping company with the likes of Rafael Toral, Fennesz, and Nurse With Wound. Smith lends a kind of weightless quality to his productions, the bright, near ambient qualities of the guitar set firmly against the harsh, volcanic rigours of distorted beats. Without a the steady pulse of a bassline tying it down, this is music where the potential directions are endless. You might want to leave off the caffeine, 'cause Smith is always prepared to rattle some nerves. http://www.myspace.com/alexmeinsmith |
