Alan Courtis
(aka Anla Courtis, Alna Courtis)

It’s with great pleasure to welcome back to Edinburgh one of Argentina’s most spaced out sound trippers, the Maradona of “weird” - Alan Courtis. Classically trained, he is a founding member of one of the finest (and strangest) experimental bands of the nineties, “Reynols”. Alan’s sound is as distinctively abrasive as it is exotic, renowned for mixing and matching guitar shriek with found objects, homemade electronics and traditional instrumentation.

Alan has collaborated with musicians like: Pauline Oliveros, Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Damo Suzuki (Can), Eddie Prevost (AMM), Astro, Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), Yoshimi P-Wee (Boredoms), Chris Corsano, Ashtray Navigations, Michael Snow, Aaron Moore (Volcano the Bear), Culver, Birchville Cat Motel, and members of Avarus and Kemialliset Ystävät. He has also released more than one hundred solo releases and collaborations on labels like Tonschacht (Germany), Blossoming Noise (USA), Antifrost (Greece), Celebrate Psi Phenomenon (New Zealand), 267 Lattajjaa (Finland), Jewelled Antler (USA), Riot Season (UK).

He will be performing a solo set on the night, with or without a guitar. Either way, you’ll be in for a pretty far out ride - unlike anything you’ll see this year. Espléndido!


Tube O’ Mould

A degenerative collaboration between Rhian Thompson (Hockyfrilla, CK Dexter Haven) and Stuart Arnot (Smear Campaign, label boss of Total Vermin). Tube O’ Mould is a triumphant combo of dilapidated electronics, broken percussion and static hiss. Fun fun fun!


Sloppy Lathers

A new testosterone fuelled duo comprising of Euan Currie and Daniel Rutter from Muscletusk. I’m picturing some sort of topless, bro-down of drum machismo and tape mud - similar to the “Beat up dat beat” scenes from Jersey Shore. We’re all winners!

Dougal Marwick

As a member of Edinburgh’s cuddly beard-synth ensemble 7VWWVW, Dougal makes sexy sounds come out of flash looking keyboards - like some sort of Portobello Moby. We’ll probably be the ugliest crowd he’s ever played to.
