REASONS TO GO SEE
GIANT TANK US THE FRINGE!!!
Edinburgh’s premiere promoters of aktionist noise happenings commemorate a decade of cottage industry chunder with three bloody Sundays of non-Fringe-based hissy fits. Five reasons for their essentialness follow
1 It’s not music. It’s just noise And there rs nothing like rt. The events feature Wrre magazine approved acts from Pans. Brighton and Leeds. including several you may or may not have ever heard of. Do Ashtray Navrgatrons, Ocelocelot. Shareholr‘ler. lowerrng Breaker. Made Out ()t Wool. l ye Shaking Kingdom, Blue Sahljrath Black Fur. Muscletusk or Playground Meltdown rrng any bells?
2 Its not big. Or clever But at various times rt promises a stomach-churnrng, vomit-inducing. spiteful. ugly and puerrle racket. All of which are to be encouraged.
3 It repeats itself Usurper play three times. though yOu won't always hear them. The GT house band scritch, scratch, bubble and squeak as the guietest unplugged act ever.
4 It’s got the best merchandise stall on the planet An array of hand—crafted CDRs. cassettes. comrx and T» shirts go global wrth means of production seizrng limited edition LP collaboration between Blood Stereo and Belgian Fluxus freak Ludo Mich, who stole thunder and blew minds at Glasgow's leltlield Instal festival.
5 Its cheap. And nasty Frver a night. Twelve gurd all three. Go on. Go deal for at Irving.
