Earth Ball + Chris Corsano + Support at The Cube
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Mind-melting triple bill of kinetic free improv for noise weirdos in search of jazz ecstasy. Earth Ball’s no-wave cvlt psych damage will have you scuzz-ing out to fresh dimensions + incendiary solo drum-cendance from the legend Chris Corsano (of Flower-Corsano Duo, Joe McPhee, Björk infamy). Mandatory elevation FFO: Wolf Eyes, Sun Ra, Taj Mahal Travellers, The Flying Luttenbachers. "

A gig held at The Cube on Thursday 23rd May. The event starts at 20:00.


EARTH BALL are a wild ensemble from Canada, mainly based on Vancouver Island. Embracing complete improvisation, free expression and a truly psychedelic sound, the group's lineup expands for different projects and now features Kellen Maclaughlin on Guitar and Liam Murphy on Saxophone.

The group’s live shows are ecstatic and spontaneous, offering audiences a unique experience at every performance. As Earth Ball continues to push the boundaries of improvisation and sonic exploration, they remain a guiding light for those seeking a transcendental musical experience.

CHRIS CORSANO is an upstate NY-based drummer who has been active at the intersections of collective improvisation, free jazz, avant-rock, and noise music since the late 1990's. Corsano is one of the greatest drummers working today, developing a percussive language of extraordinary amplitude and infinite resources.

Corsano never ceases to be profoundly affirmative and imposing of his language, and being an absolute and charismatic virtuoso, he simultaneously is one of the most noble and generous improvisers of the few last decades.

DALI DE SAINT PAUL needs no introduction but she's going to get one anyway. A prolific collaborator, most notably with her now defunct EP/64 project, and a prominent figure in Bristol's improv scene. In the spirit of '64, this performance will see her working with another mainstay of Bristol's electronic/improv scene - DYLAN MALLET, perhaps better known as SILVER WAVES.

Entry requirements: no age restrictions
