The Toronto-based electronic collective Holy Fck were formed in 2004 by Graham Walsh and Brian Borcherdt. They were known primarily for improvising on-stage with a variety of electronic devices strewn across a table and held together with duct tape. Described as "blip-hoppers" and "a shabbily dressed Kraftwerk," Holy Fck create lo-fi electronic noise music with old analogue musical and non-musical instruments, including a 35mm film synchronizer.

Reading, England experimental rockers who deliver spectral sonic soundscapes via a decisive triple-guitar attack.

A Place To Bury Strangers have been delighting and astonishing audiences for close to two decades, combining post-punk, noise-rock, shoegaze, psychedelia, and avant-garde music in startling and unexpected ways. As the founder of Death By Audio, creator of signal-scrambling stomp boxes and visionary instrument effects, front man and guitarist Oliver Ackermann exported that excitement and invention to other artists who plug into his gear and blow minds. In concert, A Place To Bury Strangers is nothing short of astounding - a shamanistic experience that bathes listeners in glorious sound, crazed left turns, transcendent vibrations, real-time experiments, brilliant breakthroughs.

In November, the Montreal band Ought announced their break up after three critically-acclaimed albums and 9 years together. This news came with a silver-lining though, as Ought members Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy simultaneously announced a new project with drummer Evan Cartwright called Cola.

In the psychic wastelands of the 21st century, one particular sonic force looms large. Transcendental like the malignant force that fuels the zombie movies of lore, Part Chimp have made it their business to shake speaker-stacks, fry brains and induce jouissance and tinnitus alike across the UK. The band's live show is everything that makes Part Chimp the most intimidating primate fit to lay waste to Bath. It is a fearsome testimony to a band with a skewed melodic skill to match their mighty potency. Echoes of their forebears - the ornery prehistoric lurch of Melvins and the droogy ur-clang of Sonic Youth among them - can be distantly discerned, yet they’re now drowned out by an individual assault as pulverising as invigorating, nihilistic yet life-affirming. This band will demolish your house, but you’ll cheerfully thank them for it afterwards. The bands joy at playing live comes through the panic and chaos of always being on the verge of a sonic calamity. Mostly due to their decrepit equipment, never writing set lists, drunkenness and under-rehearsing. People are used to some degree of professionalism when they see a band. There’s a lot of ‘confidence’ in music these days which can leave audiences cold. Part Chimp have always represented the shambolic element of performance.We love it when peoples gear messes up, strings break, amps fritzing. It brings out the reckless abandon in a performance... which is precisely what we will get from Part Chimp

Neo-psych band Temples have always had an experimental outlook. With synths everywhere, drift away into their twisting melodies and luscious riffs as they amp everything up live.

Drones are a powerful force, capable of whisking our thinking mind far, far, away. Austin-based collective Water Damage yields the same power whenever they pick up their instruments. Veterans from other projects (a.o. Spray Paint, Black Eyes, Swans, more eaze, USA/Mexico and more), the band is not unfamiliar with the unshakeable power of music; still, as Water Damage, they stretch out drone’s possibilities to their limits, bowing to the principle ‘Maximal Repetition Minimal Deviation’. Once an idea takes off, they pursue it forever; as Pitchfork said, their 2024 double LP ‘In E’ doubles as a “glorious mind eraser” Presented by The Beauty Witch. This is an 18+ event

FORM presents Desire X Johnny Jewel. Plus special guests.

Mated presents: jk flesh + special guests live at the white hotel From the industrial heartland of Birmingham, England, JK Flesh, the alter ego of Justin Broadrick, has been crafting his unique blend of heavy electronica and techno for years. His work takes its cues from a diverse range of influences, including industrial music, dub, power electronics, and ‘other extreme musics,’ resulting in a sound that is as complex as it is compelling. His initial use of the title dates back to his collaboration with Kevin Martin in Techno Animal during the 1990s. JK Flesh’s sonic landscape has drawn comparisons to artists like Andy Stott and Ancient Methods, influenced by a myriad of sources, including early rave parties and esteemed artists such as Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Plastikman, Aphex Twin, Dillinja, Moritz von Oswald, Basic Channel, Maurizio, and Chain Reaction. This diverse range of influences allows Broadrick to create a sound that is distinctly his own, pushing the boundaries of electronic music while paying homage to its roots. For listeners seeking an immersive and innovative electronic music experience, JK Flesh offers just that. Presented by MATED. This is an 18+ event

Horse Lords were founded in Baltimore in 2010; they evolved from the experimental collective Teeth Mountain and began as a trio with drummer Sam Haberman, guitarist Owen Gardner, and bassist Max Eilbacher, soon adding alto saxophonist Andrew Bernstein to the core ensemble. Though Horse Lords grew out of the fertile Baltimore noise and leftfield rock scene, a storied environment for artists and weirdos that has nurtured many an influential outsider band (Lungfish, Matmos), their approach is more omnivorous than the stippled rhythms of instrumental electric rock would indicate. Across sixteen years of frequent touring, Horse Lords have released ten studio, live,and collaboration albums in addition to a split EP with fellow Baltimoreans Lower Dens, a handful of singles and compilation tracks. For RVNG’s FRKWYS series, the band collaborated with Berlin-based composer Arnold Dreyblatt, a onetime student of LaMonte Young and Pauline Oliveros whose just intonation chamber music was a crucial part of the post-Fluxus Downtown New York City environment. With the relocation of three of the four members to Germany beginning in 2021, the potential for more further creative exploration, and performance opportunities includingthe Moers Festival (with an 11-piece lineup, interpreting Julius Eastman’s music as well as their own), the interdisciplinary phases of the band’s music was poised for fascinating new directions. The band observes “We are always trying to balance working within the limitations of the quartet and pushing beyond them. For their second studio album on RVNG Intl., Demand To Be Taken To Heaven Alive!, Horse Lords have followed this notion and augmented the instrumentation, expanding the format slightly to include bass clarinetist Madison Greenstone (TAK Ensemble), trombonist Weston Olencki (Nate Wooley, RAGE Thormbones) and vocalists Nina Guo (Departure Duo) and Evelyn Saylor (Holly Herndon, Caterina Barbieri) across a program of twelve original compositions. Demand To Be Taken To Heaven Alive! is a reference to a line in a poem by Russian Futurist writer Vladimir Myakovsky, and the band have also name-checked the Bauhaus weaver Anni Albers (wife of painter Josef Albers), Islamic geometrical patterning, Dutch avant-garde group the Maciunas Ensemble (themselves named after Fluxus artist and typographer George Maciunas), composer/writers Tom Johnson, Henry Flynt and Catherine Christer Hennix, and musically draw from sources as diverse as Roscoe Holcolmb, James Brown, Kuwaiti/Bahraini sawt, and electronic composers Maryanne Amacher and Jaap Vink. As the members are keen to point out, Demand To Be Taken To Heaven Alive! is “a bid for the flattening of time and perception in favor of greater goods \[and\] the iterative nature of reaching/building a paradise in this life, not the next,” and the new album at hand is an illuminating starting point for eternal nowness.
