The Facemelter
Chaos Theory presents a night of insane math rock, prog, jazz and experimental riffs from some of Europe's finest.
----------------------------
Shiver
The latest group from Acoustic Ladyland and TrioVD guitarist and producer Chris Sharkey, and Shatner's Bassoon drummer Joost Hendrickx, Shiver have been challenging audiences perceptions of music for just over a year, sitting as comfortably at EFG London Jazz Festival as they have when headlining the PX3 stage at ArcTanGent Festival.
Stretching the span of instrumentation and the imagination, this trio flits between solid, headnodding riffs, ambient spaces and frantic electronic cacophony.
Tonight they will be playing new material from their recently released third album.
"Fierce rock orientated jazz with all sorts of surprise melodies" - LondonJazz.

The Fierce & The Dead
A hugely respected and critically acclaimed noisey pronk four-piece from London. Their precise musicianship and schizophrenic, immensely complex, yet catchy music has earned them headline slots all over the UK.
Featuring internationally renowned guitarist, loop artist, blogger and all-round independent music guru Matt Stevens, TFATD have shared the stage with bands including PHILM, Knifeworld, Thumpermonkey, Anathema, Cleft and Lost in the Riots.
Tonight they will premiere unheard material from their upcoming EP.
"Post-hardcore bass tone; pulsing motorik drums; chiming, interlocking guitars somewhere between Afrobeat and Robert Fripp (and) shockingly brutal bursts of math-metal." - Rock-A-Rolla Magazine.

Alex's Hand
Formed in Seattle a few short years ago, this experimental four-piece relocated to Berlin and have been wreaking havoc on Europe's DIY noise, post-punk and garage ever since. They've shared the stage with MoRkObOt, which must have been a bizarre evening.
As at home on stage as they are playing avant garde installations (such as 24 hour festival Avant Garden) in a punk squat in Berlin, this will be their first venture to the UK.
"The complete lack of predictability is what makes Alex’s Hand such a balm for jaded ears." - Expose Online.

Alex's Hand
"…romping Seattle-ites from the scruffiest, carney-est end of American Gothic; something like a junior Primus, Zappa and Residents rolled into one…"
