Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Genius double bill alert! Witness the human 909 skronk of Goat’s dizzying rhythmical intricacies approaching a kind of Reichian techno / post-post-math-rock zenith. Then the god Jamal Moss in full astral-acid / jackin’-jazz improv live mode with Polish hyper-expanded trumpeter extraordinaire Jerzy Mączyński. THEN and only then will you become truly enlightened."

THURS 9th NOV // Strange Brew presents: GOAT (Japan) + Hieroglyphic Being & Jerzy Mączyński's 'UHF'
Ages: 14+ (Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult (1:1 ratio)
BIG ONE! When we heard these two acts were in the UK at the same time we had to make a double bill happen. If you only make one gig at Brew this year...make it this!
goat (Em Records, Japan): Precise, dark and groove-laden minimalism, fusing powerful urban and tribal percussion with sax and the avant-garde. Their live shows are like nothing else - last time they played Bristol in it was a truly jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring demonstration of musicianship which we absolutely cannot wait to enjoy again.
Boomkat say of their new album: 'Perhaps the tightest band in existence right now return with an astonishing new album. They make a devilish display of interlocking, pointillist drums newly gelled with the addition of harmonic, 4th world woodwind, brass and texture that will completely destroy you - especially played loud - huge recommendation if yr into anything from This Heat to Miles Davis, early Battles to Jon Hassell, Moin and Autechre. We’re deep in Album Of The Year zone right here [...] An absolute assault on the senses that will leave you feeling physically wrecked and spiritually uplifted, we really gotta say - nobody else is doing it like this'
Hieroglyphic Being + Jerzy Mączyński present 'UHF' - Chicago's radical dance music explorer joins forces with Polish multi-instrumentalist with new project 'Universal Harmonies and Frequencies', traversing cosmic jazz, deep house, acid & ambient. The forthcoming UHF album is a phenomenal piece of introspective, psychedelic cosmic travelling - sure to be amazing live
In a parallel universe where the most innovative new music got the biggest audience this would be a roadblock! Let's see...
