Bloxham Tapes and Bergen Kjøtt is pleased to welcome the UK's premier neo-jazz wrecking crew Sly and the Family Drone! With roots in cassette collage and noise experimentation, Sly have grown into a multi-limbed sonic organism. Layering dense electronics, skronking saxophone, and feral percussion into a convulsive celebration of noise, rhythm, and resistance.

Originally formed by Matt Cargill as a cassette manipulation project, Sly have evolved into a full-force live ensemble, positioned somewhere between free jazz, noise, industrial and rave culture. Their music is improvised but never aimless, creating towering crescendos and warped textures that leave no two performances alike. Their performances are legendary: visceral, anarchic, and deeply communal. Preferring to set up in the round, Sly erase the boundaries between band and audience, transforming passive

“A sort of transcendent, euphoric state wrestled into being through the application of awesome power.” -The Quietus

Check out the award-winning video for their track Glistening Benevolence here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7G0ksnmYG4

Joining them will be the debut performance from percussion and electronic noise trio Mire/Marsh/Fen who blend percussive motifs, field recordings, processed noise and modular synth. Featuring Omar Johnsen (Casiokids/Neo Borneo), Luke Drozd (Misery Bacon/Reet Maff'l) and Owen Weaver (Yrry/BIT20).

Spread the word and help make this a banger!
