SHOT BY BOTH SIDES - London's premier purveyors of arcane, outlandish and fantastical musical delights - rise like a rocket from the tombs, on (fittingly) Friday 13th November, at the ever-splendid Brixton Windmill. This will also be the launch party for David Cronenberg's Wife's new LP, and features one of our finest line-ups so far.
Expect a thrilling soundtrack of wonky psych, gritty '60s garage, gnarled folk, freak-out jazz, girl groups, C86 indie and Northern Soul, poetry, free ‘zines, stories, various handouts, humanoid monstrosities, some peculiar visual treats, cakes, a few out-of-the-hat surprises and some sensational live sets from…

GYRATORY SYSTEM
"Like a score written by Kraftwerk and Looney Tunes…slightly maddening and totally compelling…this lurchy, lovely thing" - NME

“Ridiculously awesome…This is the music of the Mahavishnu Orchestra captured by a SETI cluster, processed through a myriad of deluded wobbly synthesisers and spat in your grimacing face” – 20 Jazz Funk Greats

JAMIE N COMMONS
20 year-old folk troubadour with one of the most astonishing voices around. From the murky depths of South-East London, Commons taps into a rich vein of folk from yesteryear - with touches of Richard Thompson and Nick Drake - but with a zeal and charm all of his own. A grand new presence.
