+ THE DRUNKEN BOAT
The Drunken Boat is Dale Chapman and Tim Panaretos playing an assortment of instruments and electronic devices, some of them handmade. The sounds they make wander about (not aimlessly) on a continuum from spacey ethno-drone ambience to shit-core rock n' roll minimalism to spastic noise cacophony and not always back again.

+ BLEACH BOYS
Black hol(e)istic incarnations of tape machine witchcraft

+ BISON GRASS
Bison Grass is the metaphysical vehicle for local mystic, improviser and astral traveler Aaron Wallace. Amateur harmonic chanting and steel strings nourished by a deep love and respect for Eastern blues hybrids and American minimalist Raga worship.
http://bisongrass.bandcamp.com/

+ KUNIYA HIDEKI
One of a very small collective of artists shaking things up in the bubble era city of Miyazaki, Kuniya Hideki's solo and collaborative work is finally starting to turn heads. Having recently shared the stage with underground folk legend Kan Mikami as well as putting out a bunch of quality self produced releases, it's fair to say this young man from the deep south is on a roll. His current live set involves a series of reinterpreted Japanese folk tunes liberally dosed with reverb and a romanticism for the Nippon that once was. His first international show is one that is not to be missed!

+ GURNER
Emma Albury (Eko Eko Azarak/Yolk Yolk/ex-Leopard Leg), Sharryn Koppens (Dick Threats) and Fjorn Butler (Oranj Punjabi/N3 Warriors) are Gurner. This trio’s dense washes of looping rhythm are assembled from an amalgamation of digital and analogue electronics. A singular language of shared fixations, plundered fragments and individual input emerges during live performances.

TODD ANDERSON-KUNERT
Audiovisual doom, noise and drone.

ZAC KEILLER
Zac Keiller seeks to discover new and unique sonic textures from one of the most overused and unimaginatively approached instruments in Western music: The guitar. The majority of his previous releases saw him working with ambient textures or electroacoustic improvisation. Whilst more recent efforts have seen him limiting the use of pedals, attempting to find a kind of transcendence through stark purity of tone, using the entire guitar, attempting to make it breathe with no smoothing out of the rough edges or slick over processing. The compositions vary and grow to tell stories and create mood, with an atmosphere in parts epic wall of sound, while at others minimal and sublime.
