Plastic Crimewave, supported by Matthew Shaw
The Gorilla Store, 1-3 Rivington Street, EC2A 3DT
FREE ENTRY
BYO
From 8pm.
Plastic Crimewave (born Steven H. Krakow) is a Chicago-based illustrator and writer, avant-garde musician, music historian and impresario.
He is the editor of Drag City-published magazine Galactic Zoo Dossier, eponymous frontman for Plastic Crimewave Sound, founder of the Million Tongues Festival, and Vision Celestial Guitarkestra.
He writes and illustrates the "Secret History of Chicago Music" comic in the Chicago Reader and co-hosts WGN-AM's Secret History of Chicago Music series. He runs Drag City imprint label, Galactic Zoo Disk.
Supporting Plastic Crimewave will be Matthew Shaw. Matthew is one of the most fascinating figures on the UK drone underground, collaborating with thinkers like Brian Lavelle (as Fougou) and Andrew Paine (as The Blue Tree) while releasing music under his own name and the Tex La Homa pseudonym via a host of labels, including his own Apollolaan Recordings. His music delves deep in Hidden Reverse traditions, incorporating specific environmental soundings of occult landscapes into beautiful drone works that advance the oracular/hallucinogenic English underground tradition of Coil, Richard Youngs, Andrew Chalk et al.
