Drummer, singer, conceptualist and composer CHARLES HAYWARD has a long and illustrious career spanning progressive rock, industrial, heavy fusion, minimalism, and the current British experimental and Avant Garde scenes.
For more than 30 years he’s played and recorded solo and with bands like THIS HEAT, CAMBERWELL NOW and the later incarnation of MASSACRE with Bill Laswell and Fred Frith, among countless others.
His propulsive energy, intense concentration, and considerately sardonic outlook on life come through in his songs and perfomances, a true iconoclast devoted to music and humanity. Committed to song ‘but the shapes have to change’, his current one-man show is an intoxicating mix of percussive attack, swirling electronics and lyrical fragment collage.
“An unwavering belief in the power of the groove and an uncanny facility for generating one riff after another.” - The Wire
“Telepathic magic…. Hayward is one of the most life-affirming people who stalks this dark globe.” - The Sound Projector
CAPILLARY ACTION are an American all-acoustic avant-pop quintet, once described in The Wire as “Prokofiev re-arranging the Red Krayola.”
