Slack Alice X Bellyache: Kelan Album Launch at The Island
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Industrial party-starters extraordinaire Slack Alice unite with balearic bleep barn-burners Bellyache for the second coming of Kelan. The Dark Prince of Bristol neo-noir will be disturbing Prude Britannia with another shapeshifting live reincarnation, alongside DJ October in sludged Funn Bobby nu-beat mode. No-brainer FFO: Wax Trax, Psychic TV, Spiral Tribe, Lydia Lunch, Blackhaine. "
