HOUSEWIVES
Housewives are a London based experimental four piece creating music which lies on the boundary between noise and sound. Their austere, rhythmically charged music has a distinctively cold, minimalist edge; abrasive guitars blend with droning bass lines and propulsive, relentless drums. Their live approach is anti-performance, using a stark and minimal aesthetic coupled with intense and powerful compositions. Often using home made instruments, they explore unique sonic textures creating a challenging progressive sound. On 17th August Housewives release a new album on Rocket Recordings.
BEN VINCE & RUPERT CLERVAUX
Ben Vince and Rupert Clervaux perform an improvised set with saxophone and drums in an extension of their recent studio work together. Whilst Vince has released 2 albums thus far, he has DJ'ed and played live twice at OTO in the last year and is involved in live projects with Charles Hayward, Housewives & Coby Sey. Rupert is a producer as well as a percussionist, and has been on the scene much longer, known to collaborate with Beatrice Dillon & Alexis Taylor.
