< u>Bitchin Bajas (Chicago)< /u>
Bitchin Bajas is a Chicago-based instrumental trio formed in 2010. They create hypnotic, meditative music that blends vintage analog synthesizers with acoustic woodwinds like flutes and saxophones. Their deep, Krautrock-inspired sound spans ambient drone, space jazz, and cosmic minimalism.

Started in 2010 as solo side project for Cooper Crain, who is guitarist of Chicago Krautrock heroes Cave. Since then, Dan Quinlivan and Rob Frye joined the band and Bitchin Bajas have got the public attention thanks to a perfect, extensive discography on quality record labels such as Bathetic, Permanent, Hands In The Dark and Drag City.

They have recorded albums and performed live in collaboration with artists including Natural Information Society, Bonnie Prince Billy, and Olivia Wyatt.

"Chicago’s finest cosmic minimalist synth-jazz trio" - Uncut

< u>Degurutieni (Japan)< /u>
This one is a very rare specimen we just had had to book whilst in the UK!
Degurutieni is a one-man band using guitar, mangled vocals, appliances, toys, cassette decks, record players and other junk to creating a dark, exotic, industrial mood & cabaret sound. Each show is a kaleidoscopic performance — poetic, strange and little creepy .

Their latest album, Dark Mondo, has been released by Swiss label Voodoo Rhythm Records. 

In addition to these tracks, the Oneman band will showcase their innovative take on psychedelic industrial cabaret, using time-tested equipment to create a unique, eerie and multi-layered show. A case of 'Peter Pan syndrome expanding the range of the Earth where he could get lost'...
