CD&GXX //
DIY noise wrecking crew Sly & The Family Drone have spent over a decade rejecting stages, exclusivity, and their own personal safety to create epiphinal noise experiences.

365 party-punks Cowtown have been a source of top spudcore for over two decades. Loved by everyone in the know they bring positive vibes at breakneck speed. Needlessly fun live, cramming countless good times into 150 second tunes at 150 mph, Cowtown keep it to the point, on point, all the time.

WTF?? It's only Colin Newman from the seminal Wire coming to the Blue Moon with his long-running partnership with Malka Spigel of Minimal Commpact. Immersion prides itself on a diversity in approach and an ability to be both self-contained and a vehicle for collaboration.

CD&GXX // aya

The relentlessly experimental aya create journeys through extreme electronics, crunching percussion, harsh bass, and confrontational confessional. Through deep dissections of soundsystems, mutated by hardcore catharsis she explores the power of experience on the physical body.

CD&GXX
Rattle is an exploration into subtle rhythmic fluctuations, tonal space, and minimal melodics. Their setup of two singing drummers seems unlikely, but Rattle use the limitations of their arrangement to create pieces of textural percussion and threading sublime melodies through the gaps.

CD&GXX // NECRO DEATHMORT
Across the 2010s, the prolific duo created a significant and compelling library of heavy electronics, delighting in changing tack repeatedly, making pigeonholing nigh on impossible. Slabs of cosmic misery meet collapsed dancefloor throbbings and becalmed synths.

Blurring the lines between performance art and art rock, Shake Chain toy with and befuddle the audience, tumbling into the crowd in ways that induce unease. Absurdist skewerings of the mediocore are driven home by a musical battering ram. Unhinged thrillsfor the terminally paradoxical.

Soon: TASHI DORJI + LASH/JOYNES + NYE JONES - Sun 5th Oct @ The Blue Moon, Cambridge

Totally unbound and original improvising guitarist who explores a wide world beyond his instrument. "Strumming in opposition to the towers", he defiantly creates radically joyful sounds of equal chaos and form.
