So more sold-outy stuff this week, with Johnny Flynn already inaccessible at Cabaret Voltaire on Friday. I am actually going to interview him for the site, but I think I might have forgotten to include a guestie on my request, so I may have to hide in the toilets after the interview to avoid being thrown out for lack of a ticket.

Check out all of the artists listed below if they sound [...]

"Learning To Dance" was recorded with Patrick Derbyshire this year, and carries some of those west coast noise trademarks. However, despite the easy parallels they generate bruising viscous noise, supported by tight incessant [...]
