WOLF EYES INFO::
2004: The machine-entity that Nate Young, Aaron Dilloway and John Olson, have brought to life sprouts limbs and runs roughshod across America. The recently released “Stabbed in the Face” 12” (Sub Pop) scratches, tears, rocks, claws and moves with the precision and clarity of quantum uncertainty. Their new full-length for Sub Pop, Burned Mind, will molest you. That is statistically for certain.
Wolf Eyes’ trademark boil-bursting thud has evolved into the roar of a lithe panther with rattling jackhammers for claws. Agility and quickness are now this beast’s most lethal attributes. Placed on the evolutionary charts, Burned Mind appears as the progeny of Throbbing Gristle’s Heathen Earth sound-model. But, the complex of muscularity and emotional range found in Wolf Eyes’ new sound-model has rendered its apparent ancestry slow, clumsy and rather limited in comparison. Fuck, man, cite all the top-shelf noise and power electronics bands until you’re blue in the face —Whitehouse, New Blockaders, Nurse with Wound, whatever — but none possess the internal being of Wolf Eyes. The former were performance artists flirting with the dire circumstances of the human condition in the abstract. But, Wolf Eyes just fucking ARE the dire circumstances of the modern human condition. Ever watch a movie about the future and the future is so oppressively grim, violent, foreign and insipid, that even a romance with nihilism seems way too quaint and inappropriate of a response? And then you realize…We live in drastic fucking times, and Wolf Eyes make drastic fucking music.
2005: Halfway through the century brings change to Wolf Eyes. With Aaron Dilloway relocating to Nepal, the band decided to scoop up Mike Connelly of noise kins Hair Police to pick up the slack. Connelly has been in the game since around 2000 with his own tape label Gods of Tundra and sound assault group Hair Police. He moved up to Michigan at the end of 2004 and has been jamming with Olson and Young in various projects, leading up to his introduction into Wolf Eyes. The band's recent shows have been a return to a much more primitive and raw approach to the bands own version of armageddon (which includes brews and Negative Approach's "Ready to Fight" on repeat). New recordings like "Deranged" and "Droll vol. 19" highlight Wolf Eyes' current state of mind, while new songs like "Leper War" tear it all to pieces. Its going to be a gnarly year.
ELSEWHERE ::
The Glasgow based king of DIY David Keenan brings his improve noise band TAURPIS TULA down to play a special set before the Wolf, anything could happen as these old friends dream up ideas for a big mash jam. Warp’s CLARK plays a late night live set to give people a thumping grove to move to – check out the new ‘Throttle Furniture’ 3” CD out now. More UK improve experiments come from the young masters BIRDS OF DELAY & BAVIN, the latter is a new project from Rephlex’s Matt Yee King. Your DJ hosts N>E>D & Jim Backhouse fill the gaps with fruity tunes.
The Sick & Twisted crew have out done themselves with a monster lineup of rare gabba rave treats for the bottom room.

KK NULL + Z’EV INFO ::
The Original Gangsters Of Noise Tour brings together in collaboration two fiercely independent and forceful musical forces for the very first time.
Shape shifting artists exploring the outer terrain for over a quarter of a century and rarely playing live in the UK, this tour pitches the two together in near comic fantasy. For they are the “Original Gangsters Of Noise” Of course now the “noise” aesthetic or label hardly describes their outer-music exploration at all but it is through their ability to hear music in the modern din, the sound of space(s) and the constant rhythm of life that their music orientates itself.
KK. NULL is a heavy dude billowing huge crafted cosmic sound into the ear.
A cult underground experimental Japanese musician whose contemporaries include Merzbow and Otomo Yoshide.
Starting his career in the early 80's by performing guitar improvisations in the clubs and streets of Tokyo, he gained wider notoriety as the leader, guitarist and singer of STEVE ALBINI produced progressive hardcore trio ZENI GEVA. Yet it's his solo work that has earned him a devout following in avant circles. He has already developed an extensive arsenal of musical talent: composer, improviser, singer, electronic wiz, drummer, and even Butoh dancer. Recently his penchant is for indefinable atmospheric electronics with a wild improv bent. He has worked with dozens of bands and artists, which reads like a role call of the most exciting musicians on the planet: JOHN ZORN, JIM O'ROURKE, RUINS, MELT BANANA, BOREDOMS, OTOMO YOSHIDE, and EARTH.
Z.EV was involved in the USA’s early industrial movement. His involvement has evolved through sound-art loops and installations moving through pagan magik trance, mallet and metal noise-pieces, Indonesian influenced drumscapes and sensory rhythm deprivation to limitless music.
As dark, experimental punk was meshing with art school in 70's Europe, Z'EV brought non-traditional percussive voicings to the NYC avant-garde scene (influencing Brian Eno among others). Since then he's explored 'spatial poetics' in athletic yet graceful live performances that utilise colossal metallic sheets, giant coil springs, interconnected pipes and other found materials culled from the junkyards of the globe. His dozens of collaborative projects include work with JOHN CAGE, GLENN BRANCA, HAFLER TRIO, PSYCHIC TV, and RHYTHM & NOISE. He has released on TOUCH, STAALPLATT, SOLEILMOON and TZADIK amongst many.
A HUGE LINE UP ::
Excited to be playing alongside 1 of their noise heros, fellow Japanese experimentalist Scotch Egg & Ove Naxx will rock hard with their full-on 8bit antics. Representing the colourful Birmingham alternative scene, mayhem junglists PCM along with trash-stop band Esquilax will blow you away. The most recent experiments from North Yorkshire take form tonight as alien pop duo Relinquistix and new drum & electronics act Details both play their first ever London show! Those cheeky Cassetteboys fill the gaps with their secret edits and home made acid.
Over in the Wrong Adaddat room we have a splendid blend of exciting new mutant bands from around the world: Bruno + Michel Are Smiling + Skipperrrr, Cutting Pink With Knives & Toxic Lipstick. Alongside the bleeding edge of banging-tronics from Planet Mu’s Tim Exile, Chevron; from Berlin Karl Marx Stadt aka Society Suckers, Moster Pussy.
Wrogn Music will also unveil their new collab live gabba band: The Countryside Alliance Crew! Your hosts for the evening: DJ Shitmat & Romvelope
