It's the last weekend of August before the autumnal worm turns and we hit September! The programme from September to December is incredibly busy with our own programme and lots of external promoters as well! Not least being our very first festival at The Lubber, in New Ruins Festival. Its payday this weekend so if you were thinking of buying your weekend pass now's the time! We have two in house events this weekend as well... First up on Friday is Holocene - our live techno series. This time with the legendary Convextion aka Gerard Hanson. Expect silky and at times minimal techno with an early electro flair - proper gear all the way from Texas! Genuine crazy booking for a small venue like this! and then on Sunday we have Kitchen gig series, this is our last one till November as we have the aforementioned fest in September and other bookings in October. Should be a great night with Regan Bowering bringing her drums/not drums and the mysterious Owl. Its also a bank holiday! Plus food!

We continue our live techno night series Holocene with the legendary texan producer Convextion aka Gerard Hanson! This is a bit of a mad booking for such a small venue - Covextion is a crucial figure in early techno/electro! He does not perform in the UK often - let alone at venues like this - so do not miss this one!

Vanity Productions is the solo project of Christian Stadsgaard, a crucial figure in the contemporary Nordic electronic and experimental music scene. Co-founder of Posh Isolation, and one hald of seminal experimental noise duo Damien Dubrovnik, Stadsgaard’s compositions under the Vanity Productions name are rooted in a beautifully balanced combination of noise aesthetics and modern-day melancholia. Releasing his latest full-length album The Vanity Project on Northern Electronics, Vanity Productions will grace the stage of New Ruins to deliver a tender yet powerful performance of live electronics.

Just a week away until our next Lubber kitchen gig! We have a 3 band bill for this one - strangely enough all from Melbourne/Naarm! A city which seems to pump out brilliant experimental music like no one’s business! We have the entrancing and delicate folk of Field Commander Ali, the mutant dub pop of Static Cleaner Lost Reward and the hypnotic guitar of Jordan Ireland - plus it’s only a tenner extra for some food from the kitchen! It’s kind of mad that we have these acts on in such a small space - the Static Cleaner LP has just been reissued to much applause and is a bit of a cult classic and then the recent Field Commander LP is about as beautiful a folk record you will ever hear. Not one to be missed basically!
