Full line-up;
NATHAN BELL
Hailing from Baltimore, USA. Nathan Bell has recorded with more than a dozen bands in the last decade. Most known for playing bass in the legendary Lungfish !!!! An earlier version of Arbouretum and the mighty Human Bell. He plays cyclic banjo music - sometimes delayed - sometimes bowed creating medative hymns for the soul.
KOGUMAZA
Hypnotic, fuzzed-out song cycles marrying garage-rock sounds to an ambient aesthetic, ending up sounding somewhere between Moondog and Lungfish. They've played shows with Earth, Zomes and Growing,played in bands as varied as Wolves Of Greece, Savoy Grand, Lords, Bob Tilton, Felix, Glenn Branca, Damo Suzuki and more but KGMZ manages to sound like none of them.
McWATT
How sea shanties should sound, beautiful haunting and cinematic yet
challenging sounds, 2 pieces of flute/accordion/ double bass construct modernistic, classical journeys with edge and brooding beauty!
BEAST
By the end of the 1960s, the American and British counterculture and hippie movement had moved rock towards psychedelia, heavy metal, progressive rock and other styles. The avant-garde minimalist music current which emerged in the 60s using drones and loops of psychedelic and space-oriented music all laid the scene for the explosion in what came to be termed BEAST. In short double drumming, double synth pummeling machine!
MOTES
MOTES play minimal queasy songs,a trio of xylophone guitar and drums. Featuring some of Bristols finest!!!! from Headfall, Soeza and Line.
MONOBROW
Liverpools avant bastard noise, mask wearing pummeling machine: Monobrow began as a duo of pedal noise makers quickly evolving to include five drum kits, double bass, saxophone, keyboards, synths, violin, oboe, jug singing and once, a chair being sawed to pieces and the mess then hoovered up!!!!
LAMP
They used to play hypnotic battle music for acoustic guitar known as -a+M. Add one drum kit and amplification and volume and a love for the Sabbath, Earth and Chavez we present Lamp!
BLACK OCTAGON
2 electrical guitars and drum kit with voice and accordion, exploring english folk and american blues atmospheres.
