What's On Wednesday 1st August in Bristol

Events on Wednesday 1st August

“A blind man walks into a village pub and tells anyone who’ll listen that he was once the king of darts. An adaptation of the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex reimagined in the world of pub darts and disco featuring live music, flying arrows and a portable dartboard. Rex The King is the story of a Somerset darts champion who ruled the world, but lost it all. It’s a theatrical tale that’s witty, uplifting and ludicrously tragic: expect blood and sweat, tears and beers, not to mention plenty of songs and silliness.”
From: Rex the King

“As a duo these pair are dynamic (in a post-hardcore / improv sense) and circular (in a spirit changing / non–hierarchical way) in their mix of Chris Corsano's rhythm patterns, hand-claps and drums morphing into Mick Flower's shaahi baaja machine creating an eternal drone and wall of tone. These are two underground music makers who have gelled as duo to a startling degree, and are able to enrapture audiences in all conditions.”

“His ethics questionable; his dubious medical licence appears to be written partly in crayon; but we won't hold that against him cos he's such a lovable bastard. Releases on Peace Off, Our Fucking Jungle, and Jungle Syndicate Recordings, expect kick drums, amens, and the unexpected.”
From: Dr. Bastardo & Kelan
