Worst Gigs 2015
1.Skullflower with surprise guest Andrew King (guitar feedback accompanied by terrible folk singing from a former member of Sol Invictus). Café OTO
2.Chrononautz and Hirvilokari (both were tedious 90s festival rave throwbacks bizarrely chosen by the Quietus to support Sly and The Family Drone who were amazing anyway but truly stellar in comparison to this nonsense). Café OTO
3.Cut Hands (just sounded muddy on the sound system. One man being boring in one way). St Johns Hackney
4.Farmers Manual (mundane arty laptop twiddling which was only enlivened by an exploding strobe light). Café OTO
5.Michael Bisio, John Butcher and Matthew Shipp. (Butcher and Shipp are great but on that night Michael Bisio’s bass did nothing of interest to me or my mates. A duff improv gig, no biggie) Café OTO
6.Nurse With Wound (half a dozen men being boring in half a dozen ways. A few moments of resonant joy, but pants otherwise) St Johns Hackney
