DISCOBEANS MONDAY - 5th March 2012


BLARGHSTRAD VS. BAXTER
Deranged, hilarious and sweaty one-man band Blarghstrad Noisesmith (Brad Smith - drums/bass/vocals) is joined by Melbourne's beloved purveyor of percussive exploration, Sean Baxter (drums)

YUKO KONO
Sweet sounds of oriental flavoured folk tunes

RORY BROWN & NIK KENNEDY
Double-bass radical Rory Brown (NSW) teams up with vocalist/fx-pedal fetishist Nik Kennedy (AKA Spasmoslop) for a first-time duo collab. Expect anything from delicate noisescapes to dense black cacophony as acoustic and electronic sound worlds collide

SOCIAL CLIMBER
Analogue harsh noise/weird noise/uncomfortable noise to make you sick and improve your life

WHITE GUILT
Robbie Watt in solo mode. Heavy synth drone with occasional guitar/tape mangling

SHIRO
Japanese Darkness Dance

238 High St.
Northcote
7:00pm / $5


Very stoked to play with Rory Brown for this one! His recent solo set at Make It Up Club was spectacular. One of Australia's most bruuuuuutal double bass players I think!

NGC 1275 debut gig @ MIUC - 06/03/2012



This week, we travel the sonic spaceways density and duration with some abstracted ambience, and some ferocious, classic free jazz. First up, a new duo from Nik Kennedy conceived as “otherworldly ambient atmospheres” with venerable guitarist Phillip Holquinn. And, Rory Brown’s return performance, this time leading a quartet of some of the fiercest and fieriest purveyors of the classic, post-Coltrane free jazz tradition.
• NGC 1275, featuring Nik Kennedy (voice/synths/electronics) and Phillip Holquinn (guitar/electronics)
• Kris Wanders (tenor sax), Brett Evans (baritone sax), Rory Brown (bass) Damian Ellis (drums)
