Parastatic have programmed two days of ‘music from the edges’ featuring some of the finest established and emerging artists from across the North’s alternative scene. 

With music from 12 artists, across two days and over two stages, expect a healthy dose of fuzz, a spoonful of shoegaze, some post-punk action, a large serving of krautrock and add to all that a twist of experimental electronics from the abstract to the downright danceable. 

This weekend promises to be a real celebration of music that proudly sits outside the mainstream yet still has the chops to move you and to get you moving.

The two day event of ‘music from the edges’ kicks off on Friday 10 October with a bang, joining us from Leeds are noise-rockers Fuzz Lightyear, and shoe gazers Shaene, by local scene-stalwarts and krautrockers, and ending with Parastatic with Late Girl, and  Stu Walkinshaw bringing one of his legendary hypnotic solo performances.

We have for you on Day two, 8 performances from local legends Warm Digits bring theirKrautophonic blizzard, shoegaze is represented by Labyrinthine Oceans and post-punk attitude and intrigue comes from Marginal Gains, Idle Hands and Prospect of Power.

In the cinema get ready for a host of electronic treats supplied by Me Lost Me and their unique blend of folk, electronica and theatrics, Zer0set (solo project of Dave fromThe Early Years) offers krauty psychedelics from his bank of modular synths, and Tibshelf x sEtwin promises twisted beats with accompanying visuals.

Whole line up:
