No-Fi leading the field in experimental music: #5 in.

The phenomenal double-headed beast that is the coupling of
Vibracathedral's Mick Flower and percussive everyman Chris Corsano
returns to Newcastle in the same week their NO-FI 7" is unleashed to
the world. Corsano has been widely hailed as the next chapter in the
story of out-there drumming - he's played with everyone worth
mentioning at the massive freenoisefolkpsych crossroads. (He's also
just been recruited by Bjork's live band for the next year or so, and
appears on her forthcoming album, along with Lightning Bolt and
Konono No.1). Similarly, Mick's renowned for his work with
Vibracathedral Orchestra and Sunburned Hand Of The Man, amongst many
others. Together they construct a devilishly beautiful maelstrom,
Chris like a polyrhythmic octopus on the kit, Mick conjuring sublime
lysergic ragas from the shaahi baaja (or Japan Banjo, though it looks
more like a primitive lap steel). They almost caused the collapse of
Morden Tower with their set at the Jack Rose show in 2006 and,
judging by the ferocity of the 7", this show won't be any different.

In support on this mammoth bill are Midlands-based improvisors
Patrick Farmer and Dominic Lash. Dominic plays contrabass and
electric bass, and works with Tony Bevan and Steve Noble amongst
others. Patrick Farmer is one half of improv duo The Good Anna and a
member Designer Babies. As if that's not enough, Andy Hodson's
Matinee Orchestra open the show by treating us to an Arkestra-style
big band journey
