Fast becoming Bristol’s premier promoters of impeccable noise-based taste (last time it was the Dethscalator/Anton Maoivvi frenzy; also check out the humongous and soon to be previewed Drum Eyes/Max Tundra/Kladhest splurge on the 11th), ABSOFUCKINGEXACTLY further justify their capital letters with this doozy. Support your local drone and field recordings gigs, as our frontpage almost says, and since I, ahem, haven’t heard of any of these artists, I’m simply going to say: support titchy promoters with no money and big plans, check out bands burning on the margins and for God’s sake get a haircut while you’re at it.

PURE (Berlin –1st UK show)
http://www.pure.test.at

JOINED BY WIRE
http://www.myspace.com/joinedbywire
Formed in 2002 after returning from All Tomorrows Parties, the Bath based trio with no formal musical knowledge quickly cut their teeth with a dual guitar/drum instrumental racket that resulted with one gig and one favourable review. This was more than the joinedbywire could have ever dreamt of.
After the tragic death of their guitarist Sara in 2007, the group consolidated into more noise/drone based territory and have been happily annoying neighbours and audiences in both duo and solo guises.
Joinedbywire is currently fronted by artist and musician Stephen Woolley.
SKJØLBROT

On the back of his mesmerising debut album Maersk the music of Skoljbrot is a delicately crafted blend of radio broadcasts, piano, electronics and half-erased field recordings.
TANKA & BELL

Processed live guitar, electronics, and drums
