CRANK STURGEON, Brian Ruryk, Charles Balls and the Cincinatti Single-File and Jacob Horwood. CRANK STURGEON's interests as of late are removing most if not all of his clothing, fastening a cardboard or plastic sturgeon headdress to himself (with various outgrowths of tubing and springs that may or may not serve a purpose) and manufacturing zany bouts of aural dislocation out of a series of cheap electronics and homemade gadgetry props. BRIAN RURYK is an ex-folley editor taking risks with his neighbourhood recycling! 23 Fanta bottles, 14 ravioli & artichoke cans and 156 pieces of shelving & office discard succumb to natural forces (ie. gravity, deflection and acoustic genocide) all set to "bluegrass" guitar playing and slippery tape stop and start. since his recent return to live performance the Tide company have issued caution that their containers, once emptied, are to be recycled - not used as footballs or other outlets of leisure... CHARLES BALLS AND THE CINCINATTI SINGLE-FILE is andrew of gfreflex (sampler, slide whistle, mixer), michelangelo of odradek (clarinet) and zoe of master (reed) playing to a prerecorded reel. expect the evocation of archie shepp accumulating on the saran of concrete bemusement. Jacob Horwood aka Fudge Whoregagger plays in gfreflex as well and likes to use reel to reel, modified electronics and sampler. second solo performance offers to be the awkward moisture you so often seep in the seat of your denim dreams. excessive body-odour makes its appearance as fidgety psedo-collage fiesta! 9pm .
