VENUE: BEI RUTH - Ziegrastrasse 11-13 (Neukölln)

Band info:

» STAER (NOR)

STAER's Happy Meal is comprised of 100% distorted, octave-pitched meat patty, two piercing blastbeat high-gluten buns, fresh saladcore and our house cunt-o-matic dressing. Choose between high-fat ringmodulator or cold filtered noise.

STAER first spread its counter-cultural wings in 2008, and has since been hailed by various noise acts both locally and internationally. This local three-piece has an old school instrumentation of drums, bass and guitar, but sounds refreshingly new and exciting.

» BATALJ (SWE/DE)

With distorted analog synthesizers accompanied by frantic drum assaults, effect-drenched guitar arrangements and shrieking vocals the four-piece concocts a barely comprehensible soundscape of deformed rythms, riffs, blasts, bleeps and more or less controlled chaos. Taking their cues from diverse musical damaged goods hailing from hardcore punk all the way through to harsh experimental noise BATALJ creates a truly furious and highly inventive sonic assault.

The past three years the band has extensively toured Europe and the UK, played hundreds of shows alongside bands such as Child Abuse, Retox and Divorce and released two 7-inch splits, a self-titled 7-inch EP (Et Mon Cul C'est Du Tofu? and Twintoe Records) as well as been on various compilations. Their most recent creation, a very limited cassette release is out now on London-based label SixSixSixties Records.

This will be the first Berlin show with BATALJ's new line-up!

» Horacio Pollard (UK)

Horacio Pollard is a noise musician currently living in London. His shows are intense and spontaneous, often using just just a mic and a large guitar amp.
He has toured extensively around Europe. Asia & S. America with such as people like Alan Courtis, DJ Scotch Egg, Danny o'Really, Marousa, Ove Naxx to name a few.
He has released a handful of stuff on various labels including his own label neigh%music, all his releases are very different, but there seems to be a very strong tie to psychedelic noise and doom/ metal/industrial swished around with a large spoonful of lo-fi sampling and electronics.
