GEISHA + The Edmund Fitzgerald: Live Soundtracks
(Thurs 17th / 8pm / £4)

GEISHA are Bristol's premier noise band, a combination of complex arrangements and over distorted instruments, joy and terror. And what better counterpoint to their music than the deranged body horror of Canadian oddball David Cronenberg? Tonight their score of original works and laptop noise accompany a special edit of a rarely screened film, a characteristically disorientating faux documentary where seven young volunteers undergo brain surgery to remove their power of speech and enable telepathic communication...
THE EDMUND FITZGERALD are a prodigiously talented three piece from Oxford, an epic math powerhouse of electric counterpoint and syncopated stabs - think Don Caballero meets Steve Reich. The band will be sound tracking an edit of enfant terrible Harmony Korine's debut, a tale of bizarre rednecks and inbred behaviour in a town that's been ravaged by a tornado.
