      but what do i know...


      Exactly what I was thinking. I can answer it for you as well if you like...

    • That glass guy, if anything, is original, I think its an interesting act, particularly BITING the fucking glass to shatter it! I love innovative stuff like that, Tim told me that he played with this kid who was a complete nerd, then proceeded to go absolutely apeshit with a contact-mic'd metal shelf, you can get some mental sounds out of stuff if you do that.

      This guy has just reminded me of Kylie Minoise, guy who strips to the waste, has 2 contact mics, one in his mouth, the other taped to his belly, has two poundland mics and throws himself off PA stacks and smashes the mics. His sets are usually about 5 minutes, think it may have been less when me, fred, podge and eggy saw him in Leeds!

    • 'ang on, let me get this right...

      basically his sets are comprised of a noise interpretation of him kicking himself shitless then...?

      cool...!

      The Supersonic festival aims to be an eclectic and experimental playground where new and emergent talent exhibit their skills alongside established and world-renowned practitioners. Whilst the focus is on experimental music, Supersonic acts as an umbrella for creative practice in any media or art form.

      There's also a film programme and exhibitions as well as record and food stalls, flea market, cake and a tequila bar.
