Hello, hope you don't mind the little JAG. Be Prepared are putting on our first show of the year next week, and it's the excellent Italian group Ronin supported by Petrels.

Ronin:

The tense nighttime soundtrack to the wild desert expanses of the USA, by four serious men from Italy. Lead by Bruno Dorella, an influential figure in underground Italian music. He runs the label Bar La Muerte, and is half of avant-metal weirdos Ovo. We are extremely excited to present this one off performance in London in support of their new album.

Petrels:

Warm cello tones give way to waves of static and crisp, fractured techno. In 2011 artist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Oli Barrett (who plays in Bleeding Heart Narrative) created an exceptional album as Petrels. We hear elements of Leyland Kirby, Fennesz and Godspeed.
