BLOOD INCANTATION ABSOLUTE ELSETOUR
with Midwife. All ages. 7pm Doors/8pm Show Blood Incantation’s Absolute Elsewhere is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. Yes, that’s an audacious, possibly hyperbolic claim, but few can claim a sonic watershed as readily as this Denver, Colorado quartet. Hovering at nearly 45 minutes, their longest recording thus far, the two sprawling-yetexacting compositions that make up this album are as confounding as they are engaging. It’s an architecture of music at odds with itself: an acceleration through a Kubrickian stargate into a realm of aural ideas in harmonious opposition, uniting unlikely binaries of aural heavens and hells. For inspiration, the group looked to the mid-70’s progressive rock collective, Absolute Elsewhere (best known as a celestial stopover for King Crimson drummer, Bill Bruford) as the album’s namesake. For the uninitiated, Absolute Elsewhere’s landmark 1976 album, In Search of Ancient Gods, was constructed as a musical accompaniment to the works of Chariots of the Gods author, Erich Von Daniken, and his theories of non-terrestrial humanoid prompts towards mankind’s evolution. The subject matter of which should serve as no surprise to anyone familiar with Blood Incantation’s prior LPs and cosmically philosophical leanings. But make no mistake, the our musicians working under the BI banner for the past decade – guitarist and vocalist Paul Riedl, drummer Isaac Faulk, guitarist Morris Kolontyrsky and bassist Jeff Barrett – have successfully left the microgravity of genre behind and are re-writing the Rosetta Stone of extreme music with a new language entirely.

High Vis
Though the band were all alumni of some of the UK hardcore scene’s most celebrated groups, High Vis’s 2019 debut, No Sense No Feeling, was a record that opened its viewfinder beyond the parameters of any genre or scene. Sure, the intensity and passion of hardcore were stoking the fires, but in its intense post-punk […]

Granpa Abela (aka Justice Yeldham) / Gorgina / TBA(s)
Black Heart Booking presents… Grandpa Abela (aka Justice Yeldham) is the latest alter-ego of Australian sound performer Lucas Abela, whose past sonic experiments were conducted under monikers like A Kombi, Dj Smallcock, Peeled Hearts Paste and more recently his band Rice Corpse. Initially classed as an experimental turntablist, though his early work rarely resembled anything in the field. Early feats, saw him stab vinyl with Kruger style stylus gloves, bound on electro acoustic trampolines, drag race the popemobile across Sydney Harbour Bridge, perform deaf defying duet duels with amplified samurai swords, hospitalised by high powered turntables constructed from sewing machine motors, record chance John Peel sessions with the Flaming Lips, & be Otomo Yoshihides’ favourite entry into his Ground Zero remix competition; ‘Consummation’ even though instead of sampling the CD he destroyed it using amplified skewers! He also founded and runs dualpLOVER (recording label, cd/dvd replicators, distributor and promoter of gigs and tours). Principally a live audio artist he’s been performing professionally for the past 15 years, ever since Oren Ambarchi and Robbie Avenaim stumbled across his late night radio performances in 1994 and asked him to play their 2nd What is Music? Festival. Since he’s toured the world extensively, performing hundreds of shows in over 39 countries.(experimental / avant garde / free-improvisation / free-noise / noise from Sydney, Australia) http://dualplover.com/abelahttps://granpa.bandcamp.com/https://www.facebook.com/JusticeYeldhamhttps://www.instagram.com/justice_yeldham/A Magandjin (Brisbane)-based experimental dance/noise project of best friends Kim Day/Lesbian Merzbow and Yvette Ofa Agapow. Their music is an amalgamation of their shared interest in internet-born music, female rap, harsh noise & experimental media and touches on themes of sexual hysteria, being trans, stealing your boyfriend and most importantly – love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhZ60h5DdP0 +TBA local band
