Nobody knows why and fewer really care, but Legion of Swine and Territorial Gobbing mainman Theo Gowans have taken each other's audio, reset the phasers to stun and put said results to tape with Tom Tyler battling it out on t'other side of the tape for mayhem supremacy. If you buy the tape, this is the kind of thing you'll get -
Summer has turned to autumn in Sweden and in perfect synchronisation, Legion of Swine head porker Dave Procter has woken from his lazy summer vibes and is creating new stuff and collaborating across many countries.
With fellow Hogwasher Theo Gowans, a split release will emerge of noise, gibber and all sorts of mangled sound. More details on this to come, but release before the new year.....
Dave Procter has also being working on mixes for his long-standing recording and occasional live duo PP with Copenhagen music polyglot Claus Poulsen. The two met in late January to record ideas for their latest release, but something called Covid-19 disrupted progress. The enforced break has been overcome and a digital release will appear just in time for Xmas 2020. What better way to brighten up such a frustrating year than relaxing with around one hour of ambient/drone/noise entering your ears and soothing your mind. Details to follow, naturally......
Dave has also been in discussion over the past 12 months about a two piece noise/Suicide-esque act called Portable Dog Raves (thanks to Mark Salisbury for the name) with Leeds resident Steve Walsh. The original plan was to produce music in situ in a studio with live manipulation of Steve's drums with added keyboards, bass and vocals from Dave. The Covid thing once more hampered any meet up and progress, but the magic of the internet will see music being created. Song titles and lyrics are partly done, drum rhythms and bars have been sent and work will start soon on building whatever it is they'll be building. Something hideous but interesting, no doubt.....
That's all for now, here's a picture of some swans on the lake outside our flat -
