Leib + Violeta Garcia (CH/AR)

Repetition, Noise, Punk, Drone, Groove

Images appeared to me in my dreams: The birds were held in the underworld, eerie wailing sounds were coming from their beaks; next to them was a perpetual motion machine about to burst, sputtering, twitching, hissing; the Danaids had put down their jugs and were dancing a wondrous dance with Minos, so that the earth began to move under their feet. I felt dizzy; my whole body was trembling with excitement. All the events of the universe condensed before my eyes. Suddenly it became quiet and dark. It has remained that way ever since. Only when I tilt my head slightly to the left I hear a soft Cawing. Cyrill Ferrari - guitar
Kevin Sommer - bass clarinet
Lukas Briner - drums & percussion

Sitbq (KR/NL)

Sitbq is an anti-sober, harsh noise project with a characteristic of sound, crude and discourtesy, a harsh collision of screaming and cacophony fusing in the mess of half-mad grooves of life.
Bomi Kim (sitbq) uses a bunch of distortion pedals hooked up to a no-input mixer as her pivotal spear to probe layers of distorted frequencies, melded with a microphone and stimulators, voice, obscure samples, found objects and such, to unleash repressed discords. She also runs a micro-label, Chronic Fatigue, and organizes a series of gigs, 'HaardCORE,' based in Amsterdam.
