A gig held at The Cube on Saturday 18th April. The event starts at 15:30.


Margin Forever is an experimental music and art collective; bringing together promoters and artists behind events like Supernormal, Tough Sell, Liquid Library, Monochrome, Mouthfeel, Enter The Noid and QWAK Club, to celebrate art and culture at the margins (forever). In what is now perhaps an annual tradition, our double-stuffed all-dayer featuring an eclectic cast sieved from the margins of culture will return to the Cube. Throughout the day we'll also be experiencing cryptozoological dub; tactile-sensory noise; a guy with blood on his face; absurdist A/V; tightly composed free improv; ambiguously gendered folk dance; skronked-up wank-cadets; textural club-workouts AND MORE Earth Ball https://upsettherhythm.bandcamp.com/album/outside-over-there The wild five-piece ensemble from Vancouver Island bring their spontaneous, psychedelic, ecstatic freak-out detonations. Last year their album Outside Over Here landed in the #2 spot in The Quietus' Albums of the Year. Commuted https://commuted.bandcamp.com/album/in-a-waiting-room Another Canadian! Commuted's intense live performances bring a whole new dimension to his emotionally charged, skramzy bedroom pop. Not to be missed. Sullow https://mossytapes.bandcamp.com/album/dedications Improvising trio of Jacken Elswyth, Daniel S. Evans and Joshua Barfoot; best known as members of the inimitable Shovel Dance Collective. Jawharp https://jawharp.bandcamp.com/album/untimely-divorce-of-tooth-gum Skronked-up, anarchic noise rock that pays just enough homage to their forebears while still sounding entirely fresh and surprising. Annie Gardiner presents TONES Accompanied by Joy Kelly on Double bass, TONES comprises drones, harmonies and sumptuous buffets of movement. Though hardly a lyric will be uttered, there will be a song. https://anniegardiner.bandcamp.com/album/bloodletting-2 Rhizocorp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYvhPciGBzQ Riding high after recent dates supporting Cabaret Voltaire, Rhizocorp (The Artist Formerly Known As Sobnorgnost) is sci-fi dance punk at the intersection of lo-fi beat tapes, dub mixing, noise, krautrock, proto-house and parapsychology. Calico https://caliconoise.bandcamp.com/album/pulling-my-feathers-out Transfemme noise artist moulding her struggles into sound. Subtle and delicate; this ain't no Harsh Noise Wall. mr_hopkinson & PAUL HANSON Jumble Cru in the hoooooouse. We don't know what they've got in store, but ready yourself for some high concept A/V shenanigans. Laura Philips https://www.youtube.com/live/mIrBmHMuFkc?si=MwmactauNtqv4g7e&t=472 Sagittarius, non-smoking artist (of Viridian Ensemble fame). Her work investigates the complexity of obsolescence and precarity as narrative devices using a mixture of photochemical processes, sounds and digital imagery Molly No-Mates https://www.instagram.com/mollynomatesmorris Molly No-Mates are a queer, drag king Molly dancing team. Learn the ropes in an introductory Morris Dancing workshop or sit back and watch the hankies fly. Alya L (DJ Set) https://soundcloud.com/alya_l Fragments of spectral synths and low-end pressure, tracing moods across shifting soundscapes. From ethereal ambient through shattered techno and dubwise excursions. Tickets are priced at £20 standard, £16 concessions. Please note concession tickets are limited, so please pay full price if you can afford to. As always, NOTAFLOF - if money is a barrier, don't hesitate to get in touch with [email protected].
