Schwet with Max Syedtollan & CANK + Wormhook etc at Strange Brew
See event details

A gig held at Strange Brew on Saturday 18th March. The event starts at 19:00.


Max Syedtollan [FKA Horse Whisperer] returns to Schwet after THAT unforgettable Powerpoint presentation at the end of the Lockdown Era...

"Experimental composer allies with feral performance troupe Cank (ft. Laf Tebano, Romy Danielewicz and Wormhook) for a 10-date tour of the UK, to tie in with the release of his new album ‘Disposables’ on 33-33. Melding improvisation with mutant song-craft. Melody, noise, text and movement collide in anarchic and unexpected formations that veer between hilarity and dread, and evade easy genre categorisation.

Recently featured by WIRE as a representative of underground music’s ‘new vaudeville’, Syedtollan has been releasing music since 2016 - including a string of tapes on Glasgow’s cult GLARC label. His live performances incorporate theatrical and comic elements, blurring the distinction between music and performance art. This new collaboration with Cank explores the aesthetics of group dynamics - taking ‘the rock band’ as a cultural trope to be played about with, knocked apart and reconstructed in weird new forms."

Wormhook released one of our fav tapes of 2020: "Initiation Into The Mystery Of Evil" on GLARC. Now they are back with their opus LP 'Workaday Strangeness: Gyrating Death Throes From a Void Axiom'!

"Through something approaching the musical equivalent of automatic writing, Wormhook gives birth to fluid, home-woven spectral incantations and an untutored, backward-masked concrète hymnody. Brittle-as-glass guitar and grainy, hand-processed electronics underpin cantorial, intuitively modal vocals delivering a kind of raw, revelatory yet anti-prophetic ur-poetry, bridging the centuries between Hildegard von Bingen and Lonnie Holley and fixing the solitary star of Wormhook within the hermetic constellation which these visionaries inhabit."- Alasdair Roberts

Lab Tebano is a member of the Zone Collective and we have no idea what they are going to do...

Romy Danielewicz is a Glasgow-based writer. You may recognise their voice from Max's 'Four Assignments' tape. We have no idea what they are going to do either, that's the way we like it, uhuh
