a friendly spot
to lose yr
mind

This year's Halloween special is a pre-crash bunker wave grass-fed post-ego brown noise premeditated jazz hands bass core band from the city of roses. A strict regimen of wildebeest stage antics, pummeling alt-rhythms, and double-stacked bass distortion, soaring higher and higher into octo-reverb feedback. Three bozos. Two basses. One drum kit. Zero guitars. Always. Loud, fast, and odd. Ogre must be seen to be believed. They are joined by Zookraught (Seattle) and Kerosel.

Spacey Slacker Pop, Galactic Om, Cosmic Sway…what ever you wanna call it, turn down your mind, relax your shoulders, and sway. Blissed out bass lines and swooning, crooning vocals from Californian Maddy Myers paired with bodacious, groovin’ guitar from Danish Gustav Moltke. Joined by their great friend on drums, coming from LA, Josh Cabitac, and on synth and guitar, British born George Godwin.

Touching on respected, familiar genres and sounds while attempting to advance one’s own isn’t easy but No Joy's new LP, Bugland, manages to. What genre is it anyway? Is it even shoegaze when it could live happily on a shelf next to Boards of Canada and Autechre? The right answer is ‘yes’. What a lovely shelf ‘twould be as well. A marble shelf, with cyberpunk elements. She is joined by Shaki Tavi and guests.
