Buzzily enough, as I stood at the bar after arriving talking to Creassault about how I'm not Squee and drinking the beer he so kindly bought me, I suddenly saw Rorn's uncle. This was like Easter Sunday, in one of the only bars open; guess he needed a drink.
First up after I arrived were the New Telepathics, a kinda jazzy guitar-based indie band. k5k said they were like Mars Volta. I say they coulda been cool around 1993. So probably they could be hot right now, if the current 1993-like trend of check shirts is anything to go by.
Instead I went and checked out Sam Hamilton in the Wine Cellar making guitar feedback noise.
Some random dude engaged me in a conversation about Iron Maiden, I guess since I was wearing an Iron Maiden T-shirt.
Me and k5k stepped outside for a minute and then it was time for what I came to see: the Incredible Hexadecibels vs Creassault are fantastic multimedia: cut-up video games and zombie movies interspersed wtih live-action zombie scenes filmed by the artists themselves, all with a live video-game/fakecore mash-up soundtrack. I stood close to the screen and marvelled.
Following that was k5k doing a DJ set of breakcore, playing Venetian Snares and so on from his
large vinyl collection.
