Astral Social Club

Braw is chuffed to welcome back to Auld Reekie the solo project of one of England’s finest noise luminaries, Neil Campbell. As described by Wire magazine as having - “provided the map co-ordinates for much of what passed for a post-punk UK underground during most of the 80s and 90s”.

Neil’s expansive work has led to countless collaborations and contributions to the likes of ESP Kinetic, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Mathew Bower, Smell & Quim, Prick Decay, Tirath Singh Nirmala and Richard Youngs to name but a few.

Having released countless CD-R’s under his Astral Social Club guise, Neil’s sound engages the listener with swamps of drone, buried electronica, dance rhythms, glitches, guitar shriek and everything in between. His variation and sense of controlled immediacy is all encompassing in both the live and recorded environments. Truly a must see live!

Dario Fariello & Neil Davidson

A duo combining Italian improvised saxophone vibrations from maestro Dario Fariello with solo guitarist and Glasgow Improviser Orchestra regular, Neil Davidson. This should be chin stroking dynamite.

Charles Napier Quartet

Featuring members of Fordell Research Unit, Linwood Flats and Muscletusk. This project remains somewhat of a mystery, only appearing once before in a shapeshifting guise of “Twitch of The Death Nerve” at the Botanical Gardens earlier in the year. I’ll hazard a guess that it’ll have buried beats, drone murk and some sativa induced electronics.

Ali Robertson

The bespectacled, mutton chops of Usurper goes it alone in all his sputtering and inane glory. Seen before dicing up Black Flag lyrics and Christmas Carols in previous performances, expect sound poetry and cut up jargon of the most bizarre.
