Kissing The Shotgun Goodnight
THU 21 SEP 2017 | 7.30pm | Full £10 Conc £6 |AGE 16 plus
Clouds of haze and crumbling walls of transcendent noise, KISSING THE SHOTGUN GOODNIGHT is a neo-noir fever dream and 120 decibel suicide note. A juggernaut of music-theatre. Three musicians, piano corpses and the sci-fi poetry of a disembodied voice. A nocturnal meditation crooned into the swollen abyss. Soothing drones and crushing metal, swamps of feedback and pools of reverb, clattering rhythms and throbbing bass. A return to the womb for those who wish they could crawl back inside mother to hide.
