if you haven't already been down to the bastille then what a
surprise we have in store for you! it's a cool french influenced
venue right in the centre of town 2mins from either central / queen
street station or st enoch underground.

kk.null was born in tokyo in the 60's. he's one of the top names
in japanese noise music and in a larger context, one of the great cult
artists in experimental music since the early 80's. in the early 90's he
gained world-wide recognition for his peel-approved band zeni geva with
their extremely heavy sound, releasing five albums produced by steve
albini (two on jello biafra's alternative tentacles label) before
collaborating for many years with merzbow.

all the while, kk.null has worked on his solo career and collaborated
with other musical innovators such as z'ev, chris watson, daniel menche,
keiji haino, seiichi yamamoto, jon rose, bill horist, philip samartzis,
alexei borisov, zbigniew karkowski, james plotkin, jim o'rourke, fred
frith, john zorn and has been invited to perform at international
festivals such as "sonar" in barcelona (spain), "beyond innocence" in
kobe (japan), "all tomorrow's parties uk" and more.

industrial music pioneer and occult drummer z'ev is primarily known
for bringing non-traditional percussive voicings to the '70s new
york city avant-garde scene. with an uncanny ability to fuse the
shockingly abrasive with the breathtakingly panoramic, z'ev's
work is both intimidating and sublime. his studies in collage began
under the tutelage of joseph byrd / united states of america leader
– an auspicious beginning. since then he's explored 'spatial
poetics' in athletic yet graceful live performances that utilise
colossal metallic sheets, giant coil springs, interconnected pipes and
other found materials culled from the junkyards of the globe. his dozens of
collaborative projects include work with brian eno, john cage, glenn branca,
hafler trio, psychic tv, and rhythm & noise. he has released on touch,
staalplatt, soleilmoon and tzadik amongst many.

kk.null and z'ev are joined by the wonderful skewed scottish
balladry of wounded knee and the beautiful low-fi lullabies of cheer.
