An evening of heavy ecstasy with
Machine Death
Mandala Trap
Gail Priest (guest programmer)
Machine Death is Ben Byrne & Ivan Lisyak creating new wave sludgecore that’s so nasty it’s sublime.
Mandala Trap is Jeff Burch (Songs) & Paul Gough (Pimmon) in a duel of epic electronic layerings and shimmering guitar.
Gail Priest interweaves dirty machinic rhythms, glassy cascades and sweet tortured vocals.
