Until dawn

Sunday at Pressed offered up a real variety of psyche: Headliners Slow Dawn were joined by Victorian kosmik synthesist Psychic Pollution and Bytown's own experimental synthologist Lovecraft (aka Tyrin from Weed Mom and Spell). Here he is, making some adjustments and/or auditioning for the role of Jason in the next Friday The 13th movie!

Psychic Pollution was a big draw for me; I've been enjoying his music (it's a one-man outfit, that man being Jzero Schuurman), much of which is available on Bandcamp at name-your-own-price.His latest material is very much inspired by early German electronic artists such as Kraftwerk, Cluster and Neu! Here's Jzero!

And here he is again.

On to Slow Dawn, who fired up the smoke machine for a bad trip (and by bad I mean good) into scuzzed-out, feedback heavy freakouts - sort of a Germs meet Bardo Pond experience. It's front by Dan from the Holy Cobras, backed on this occasion by fellow Cobra Jesse, Alex from Boyhood and Lidija of Blue Angel and Bondar on drums. Here's shirtless action with Dan!

A fine night of head-games.
