QWAK club #24

Completely nonsensical bill featuring three acts visiting Bristol for the first time. If the weather is good - they'll be the opportunity to enjoy cocktails and performances in the Cube's garden.

Live performances from:

Erosion Control (Yorkshire)
New trio venture from Sophie Cooper (trombone logic extender), Flo Christman (drums!) and Tom Hawkins (gravel voiced cello) Long form dub adjascent lock in improv'd noise minimalism. One listen through this and you'll appreciate why we've invited them down: https://flosound.bandcamp.com/album/beneath

The Sprigs (London)
Slap-dash free-folk trio currently celebrating the release of their first long player proper: 'For Red Riverbank' out last month on one of our favourite labels - Bison Records. Characterised by Time is Away as a ‘Beautifully scrappy meeting point between diaristic real-world clatter and a particular strain of folk-pop romanticism’.

Thomas Carroll (Leeds)
Mostly works in improvisation, performing using feedback electronics and scavenged devices (‘some-input mixer’). Sometimes he performs pieces that are closer to ‘composition’ by some definition. He runs Free Music Lessons, a gig series in Leeds; and co-runs Conception, an experimental open mic night in Leeds. Releases on: Marginal Frequency, Infant Tree, Kirigirisu, Why Keith Dropped the S, Teorema di Gasparo, Sawyer Spaces. https://pressurecookerreliefvalve.bandcamp.com/album/winding-down

Robert Ridley-Shackleton
What makes a party a party? RRS makes a party a party. Our beloved Cardboard Prince has just funk'd up Glasgow and Edinburgh and returns home ready for more pasta.
