Chocolate Monk celebrates its 25th year by asking you to come along and unravel the knot inside your head over two evenings of sound and chunder crunk.

Red Brut
Red Brut is the moniker of Marijn Verbiesen (part of Sweat Tongue and JSCA). As Red Brut she is isolated, displaying an ear for day-to-day sounds, musique concrète composition and spontaneous sound collage.

Lovely Honkey
Lovely Honkey is Luke Poot. Solo disappointment since 2007. Akin to a nervous breakdown whilst self aggrandising, face mouth tactile shod and tapes, elbow deep embarrassment. Recently seen collaborating in Clappy Shandy Dads, Skatgobs, Honkeyzontal Picnic, et al.

Neil Campbell
Neil Campbell has been active on the lunatic fringe of underground music since at least 1979. In that time he has performed and recorded widely as solo performer, ad hoc collaborator and core member of groups such as Vibracathedral Orchestra, A Band and Astral Social Club. His collaborations are myriad, including Richard Youngs, Campbell Kneale, High Wolf, Grumbling Fur, John Clyde-Evans, Filthy Turd, Oren Ambarchi, Ashtray Navigations, Spider Stacy, David Larcher, Blood Stereo, John Olson and Matthew Bower. Writers have described him variously as "a one-man subculture", a "grandfather figure" with "hallucinogenically inclined pallet". Neil shares his birthday with Grace Jones, Malcolm X, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot and Joey Ramone - LOOKOUT!

Tindegger
Do we even know what we do? I mean us, those guys on stage... Do you know
what we do? Can you tell us, please. Be different.
Different? Do they mean, an individual?
life is just boring...
What are we doing?
I dinnae ken, pal. I thought you had an idea.
I can’t think right now, I am too busy to think about that now. Can you not
bring some tapes, some synths, any of your cluttered shite?
Like that thing,... Whats that?
Crusty underpants.
Can we not just play... collectivity is a social space.
Tindegger is Tina Krekels and Grant Smith.
