NADJA is a duo of Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff from Toronto, Canada making music that encompasses experimental/drone, ambient, shoegazer, and doom metal. Originally formed by Baker in 2003 as a solo endeavour, Buckareff joined in 2005 to bring Nadja out of the studio and into a live setting. They have since released numerous albums with such labels as Alien8 Recordings, The End Records, and Conspiracy Records. They have toured extensively in North America and Europe, including appearances at such festivals as Roadburn, FIMAV, and SXSW.

YELLOW6 is the solo project of Leicestershire (UK) guitarist Jon Attwood. In the 10 years since yellow6 released their first single on Enraptured much has changed in the music world and artists and genres have come and gone. Yellow6 has been loosely associated with a number of genres (post-rock, ambient, shoegaze, drone, electronica...) but never really fitted comfortably into any, leaving a trail of over 60 releases on labels across the globe - a total of over 250 songs (30+ hours of music)...

Yellow6 has performed live with Tarentel, Tristeza, Jessica Bailiff, Charles Atlas, Library Tapes, Crippled Black Phoenix, Rothko, Televise, ISAN, Christ (no, not THAT one) and, of course, Azalea City Penis Club. This has occurred over many years and a couple of continents.

* GRAAN formed spontaneously following a successful appearance under the name Platform Five (Funf) at Jean-Hervé Peron's Avantgarde festival in Schiphorst, Germany, in July 2008, when one of the band failed to make an appearance onstage.

Graan are plotting a course through avant-Enochian doom and science-fiction drone bringing heavy bass guitar frequencies into the electronic mix alongside guttural utterances, mordant guitar riffs and dystopian spoken word. Over the last year Graan have played alongside The Cesarians, Jimmy & The Destroyers, Bo Ningen, Masterly & Farewell and others at nights including The Drones Club, Club Hell, Bang The Bore, Klub VEB and The Klinker.

Graan is approximately half the members of Stëllä Märïs Drönë Örchësträ and one of Drift of Signifieds, creating soundscapes where new weird electronica meets deep-listening Lovecraftian delerium.

For this live action Graan will be joined by special guest Seth Ayyaz (Dajjah, SMDO) on zorna

*THE DRONES CLUB has been home to harmonic drones and jollity of all stripes for five years, inviting artists, performers and audience to participate in a world apart from mundanity. We prefer to think cosmically, and act musically. Or is it the other way around?

“We’re pretty broad minded here, and if you stop short of smashing the piano, there isn’t much you can do at the Drones that will cause the raised eyebrow and the sharp intake of breath“. PG Wodehouse, “Young Men In Spats”

Not all the music played at The Drones Club is necessarily droney (though it might well be). Sometimes it is danceable, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes melodic, often harmonic. No-one has yet smashed a piano, at least not literally, but it might happen one day. Thankfully the music and crowd at The Drones Club is rarely dull, and more often than not quite entertaining – as is only to be expected when the event is subtitled “an evening of jollity, romance and harmonic drones”.

no, it's in a pub near london bridge

Toilet & Bowels, are you playing support?

my band is

when we tour greece i'll make sure we have a special place saved at the front with a step for short people

no problem, it is very kind of you to offer to sleep on the balcony so i can have your bed too.

ok, i told the members that you live like an animal and now they don't want to stay with you

the other members told me that they want to be more like costes so they want to get you in the band becasue doing a poo in front of a crowded room is your normal behaviour

i got my ticket for the 2nd date today.

yeah i wish i could live my life with the same disregard for basic hygiene & cleanliness that you have
