What Sundays Are For

TWO SHOWS! ONE DAY! TEN BANDS!

Both happening on Sunday July 22nd.

HUSH ARBORS
Keith Wood aka Hush Arbors is straight outta Virginia, US and a long-time member of Sunburned Hand of the Man alongside his solo psych-folk explorations. Also regularly collaborates with Wooden Wand, Six Organs of Admittance and Current 93.

SHARRON KRAUS
Sometime Oxford, sometime Philadelphia resident Sharron Kraus gives us her incredible dark folk that draws comparisons with Shirley Collins and Anne Briggs, two artists who, like Sharron, have been released on the Bo Weavil label.

ALEX NEILSON
Alex Neilson gives us his unaccompanied solo vocal set of traditional and old-time songs. Neilson’s committed passion for British folk music as well as his deep involvement in the world of free music gives heavy weight to these classic songs.

JOANNE ROBERTSON
Visual artist / musician Joanne Robertson has collaborated with David Cunningham and has a forthcoming album out on Textile Records. Currently showing at the Nog Gallery on Brick Lane is her co-curated exhibition (with Byron Coley) Hot For Teacher. It’s great.

TOM JAMES SCOTT
Tom James Scott is a solo guitarist and sometime member of weirdo-improv rock duo Clunes. His own style is very much centred in minimalist solo acoustic guitar and there is a forthcoming CD album on Bo Weavil in the works.

SUNROOF!
Sunroof! is the one of the latest manifestations of sonic beauty and oblivion from guitarist Matthew Bower, longtime champion of the UK experimental noise scene, best known as Skullflower’s guiding light and for his work with Total, Ramleh, Hototogisu and Sunlayer.

DIRECTING HAND
Directing Hand is the project of Glasgow-based Alex Neilson, member of Taurpis Tula, Scatter and Tight Meat Trio. Neilson is firmly at the core of free music in the UK and beyond, playing and recording with Jandek, Will Oldham, MV/EE, Richard Youngs and plenty more besides. This particular show will be a drum/vox duo of Alex and vocalist Vinnie Blackwall.

CHORA
Chora have recently relocated from Nottingham to London and deliver glorious psych-drones/vocal whitewash. Impending releases on Chocolate Monk, Gold Soundz, Curor and Utech.

MORGEN UND NITE
High-end oscillations low-end interference nothing in the middle holy fucking extremes one guitar two synths twenty pedals telepathy divided by C sharp equals bastard radiophonic blues offspring of Richard Pinhas and Eliane Radigue equals Morgen Und Nite equals INFINITY.

PARTING THE WILD HORSES MANE ON BOTH SIDES
