it takes the collective muscle of WINNERS DON'T SHIVER and GIANT TANK to slop up this much experimental weird-ass sound.....
ELI KESZLER Rhode Island USA solo drummerboy/ alemaster who happily mashes grains from the collected public houses of ecstatic free jazz, modern weirdo composition, no wave blunders and blootered gamelan using an array of gongs, bells, bowed percussives and amplification to brew his own tenacious improv tipple. Jandek, Greg Kelley, Steve Pyne and more have all propped up his bar to slurp that "straight from the barrel taste".
RETAIL UNIT 1990s throwback Sandy Milroy plays some archaic noises using ambidextrous minidisc technique he honed in days before he met them Muscletusk 21st Century boys.

Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME
Operations (Chris Anderson) is a Manchester based conceptual music producer and sound artist. He performs and records with an array of analog synths and effects, reel-to-reel tape and casette players, and guitars. Followers of Tim Hecker, Slowdive, Fennesz, Godspeed You!

Noises Like Ashes SINGLE RELEASE THIS FRIDAY @ Confusion is Sex - 11pm The Bongo Club
"Like a cracked toy from the 80’s being played to death with a hybrid of Ian Curtis & Mark E Smith fronting . . ." - Subba-Cultcha
CONFUSION IS SEX
Where fantasy becomes reality, Confusion Is Sex invites freaks, weirdos, princesses, kings, slaves... CiS is an environment rather than just a music night. It's like walking into a David Lynch set where the weird is normal, giving people the chance to be something they're not.
