A gig not to be missed tonight, plus a last minute addition on
Wednesday (see below)...
CERBERUS SHOAL + Acrnym + My Kappa Roots + Dancing Mice
tonight (Monday) at the Subway, 69 the Cowgate, Edinburgh
doors 7.30pm, £4
About Cerberus Shoal:
"Curious and curiouser sound collages,
improvisations and roiling rivers of rhythm" the Wire
"Cerberus Shoal's sound is a blend of rock-opera and
psychedelia humor that can seriously knock Humpty
Dumpty about and put him back together again" Punk Planet
"The abstract renderings of these Maine bullnecks tread upon
the same metaphysical turf as the first Red Crayola album in the
communal, group-minded oneness. The sounds here range from post-Pere
Ubu / Residents clank to funky rhythms to
lost-in-the-forest-stumble. Above all, there's a caste of organic
moss-sprawl, complete with handclaps, that makes these moose
men and women the kazoo-toting champs of downeast dadaism.
Employing Zappa-esque spoken-word chicanery with clownish
chirps and room-levitating ambience, Cerberus Shoal deserves
its own personal cabin in the enchanted post-Terrastock forest."

And on Wednesday 25th May, still at the Subway, doors 7.30pm
entry £4 or £3 if you heard about it through this mailing-list:
WARREN SUICIDE + ASA + NURSE RATCHET
There's no better way than that to describe Warren Suicide's music -
a surrealist journey through the dark alleyways of their shared
artistic vision. Between Lucki's seething vocals, Nackt's ethereal
guitar/electronica stylings and Cherie's disturbing, often
misanthropic animated imagery, theirs is an unconventional trinity of
sight, sound and attitude.
Their multimedia poetry explores the world of Warren Suicide, a
human caricature living in a fictional, dystopic world. Almost
immediately it won the undivided attention of the German electro-
scene.
