Always (from Aus) + Ima Fucking Gymnast (for reals this time)

A few weeks ago Michael Kucyk of the Australian label 'Nervous Jerk' was in town, and dropped off a few of his latest releases. He managed to smuggle the records through customs right before 'Always', one of the label's finest acts, performs at Family. Always will be playing with Ima Fucking Gymnast who've recently released a 7" through Jim Smith of The Smell's label OlFactory Records. Lots of records to buy!

The show starts at 8pm, Sunday, 28 Oct. Free!

Here's some info from Nervous Jerk's site:



ALWAYS - F.I.S.T.
Always is Alex Vivian, a free vocalist residing in Sydney Australia. Entirely accapella, F.I.S.T. is a collection of pulsating and intense vocal noise, pieced together into primitive soundscapes. Influenced by operatic and celtic cries, tribal/ jungle rhythms, disposable white label techno and the infinite nature of free noise, Vivian's sound is created using two delay pedals' loops that feed from one another, creating new rhythms and layers through repetition and vocal interpretations of organic sounds, performed completely live and improvised. The tracks on F.I.S.T. (Freedom In Shit Together) are experimental music in it's purest form. Ideas are created on the spot, which feed off themselves and mutate in different directions, resulting in accidental rhythms and opening the mind to unexplored territory.



And don't forget Ima Fucking Gymnast - bringing good time punk back to the kids. Very lovable.
