Life, The Universe and Scaledown

Yes, this coming Friday marks the dawning of the 42nd Scaledown Live Performance Event. As usual this takes place in the King & Queen in London's Fitzrovia, W1, and commences from 7.00pm with the following performers:

Nitwood - Experimental and alternative outfit comprising ex Higsons/Serious Drinking drummer Simon Charterton. Enjoy their inimitable sound.

The Animal Objective - Tim Naish, of the bands Gentlemen of Largesse and dogs&stuff, performs solo versions of some of his many weird and wonderful songs under the moniker of The Animal Objective. Be prepared for the unprepared.

Country Dad - John Bisset (of Pocket) likes to be called Hamish Booth in his other project Country Dad which features John Say on washboard and Chris Cundy on bass clarinet. Expect skiffleesqueness.

Crayola Lectern - Crayola Lectern is an ongoing musical project which charts the life of it’s creator. Crayola plays the pianoisms of melanchodelia whilst being accompanied by Joss Cope on casiotone keyboard and the flugelhorn/trumpet of Alistair Strachan.

gish - Gish makes music on his own, under his own steam. His work features the kind of hi-tensile guitar abuse and feedback manipulation he displays in Sunshine Republic, along with more particular mixing desk and electronic contextualising. Neither noise, nor rock, his music draws on a background in 20th century composition and a love of both those simple pleasures.

As usual entry is free (although donations towards the performers expenses will be sought), full details can be found on our shiny new website at: http://www.theorchestrapit.com/scaledown
