held at Exchange
on Wednesday 18th March. The event starts at 19:30.
In 1980, Strange Circuits became the first act on cult post-punk/electronic label Wax Trax Records with their single 'Industrial Living'
Formed by Rodney Bakerr, Virginia Cram and Stephen George (of Ministry / Space Jam fame), Strange Circuits are credited as one of the pioneers of industrial electronica in the USA and, as part of the 80s No Wave/industrial scene have influenced acts including New Order, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, Human League, Daft Punk, LCD Soundsystem, FKA Twigs, Peaches and many more.
Now a solo project of original member Rodney Bakerr - a multi-instrumentalist, producer and pioneer in the Chicago House Music scene. Bakerr founded House label Rockin' House Records in 1986, and also wrote original drum patters for Roland Synthesisers throughout the 80s and 90s. This is Strange Circuits' FIRST VISIT TO BRISTOL, part of an exclusive UK tour. http://strangecircuits.com https://rocknloadmag.com/interview/strange-circuits-talks-with-rock-n-load/

SALAC
"Circuit-bending freeform noise, perhaps inspired by Avon Terror Corps revulsion to contemporary dance music's anodyne perfection." - WIRED
Members of Bristol collective Avon Terror Corps, Salac are
a sacred duo drenched in dirt, wine and blood, hailing
from separate cold corners of the Occult World. Intersecting pagan ritualism with industrial choral alchemy, together they sculpt
séances of sacred sound; igniting fires through walls of noise, voice, disjointed rhythm structures and intense ceremonial performance.
