ELEMENTAL MUSIC / AUSTERITY BRITAIN LIVE

wce s02 #0011

Microlaboratized middlebrow dullard dump super hero latex knock off DVD's out the battered leather holdall down the pub blotchy old tomato head cunt sat in the corner just spits and spits all day long cant tell when his jaundiced decrepit mit ends and his geometrically impossible roll up begins well good on the fruit machines mind like he knows summat' we don't interstellar alco-warrior straight out of rag and bone dyslexia.

After being locked in my homestead last week by what the majority of countries on earth would designate as mildly bad weather, but we, we band of brothers, we defenders of our sceptered Isle pure shat it and all of a sudden it was a HURRICANE. FUCCCCKKK!!! Where's that old Michael "looks like he was cobbled together out of an egg and some cotton wool buds on Blue Peter" Fish geezer when you need him most?

Hopefully not in the same place as Austerity Britain, for his sake. This bloke is the info-overload equivalent of Jandek if his Dad owned a bookies in Oldham. Ultra lo-fi booze blues that summarizes nigh on two decades of complete and utter disappointment with the way his life has turned out. Non verbal sleep apnoea yelps mingle with gutter synth and heavily drugged guitar/internal mic sickness.

Tonight Austerity Britain treats us to a preview of his forthcoming Hand Loom Lament CD-R Total Insolvent, dropping at the start of next year if I get my shit together in time. Which I obviously wont.

Before that Ship Canal (wait, that's me...) presents a selection of field recordings, sound art and processed source material that evoke harsh elementalism.

Safe.
