Event information

10:45pm Hejira

Hejira are a metamorphic rock band arising out of London. The group of multi-instrumentalists cut their category destroying sound with psychedelic guitars, bisexual vocals and orchestral percussion, creating an atmosphere which is at once apocalyptic and hopeful.

9:45pm Florian Lunaire

It's hard to place Lunaire's music. 'Amsterdam' sits someplace between the brutally moreish dark piano of John Cale's 'Fear' and 'Paris 1919' era records; 'Forever Young' has the rhyming rhythmic wordplay of 90s Tribe Called Quest (“on his backpack there’s a Black Flag badge and he asks me where I’m from”) set to a suitably hip-hop beat. 'Capture/Release' is a simple, evocative ballad to past love, rich in tender, fragile emotion. Throughout, his sharp, wide-eyed observational lyrics are delivered with his trademark rasping voice, well travelled from Tibet to London via Provencal France.

8:45pm Naomi Kashiwagi

‘Wind-Up’ involves performing with a wind-up gramophone turntable and re-appropriated 78rpm records. The performance is drawing: drawing out sound. It is a tactile process and my background in drawing and painting are imbued within the way that I approach this performance. I place strips of electrical vinyl tape onto the shellac records to create an additional tactile layer that is visually and sonically disruptive. This creates unexpected repetitive and percussive discordances, harmonies and locked grooves.
