Hi all, brutally short notice but I thought it worth sharing word of this show tomorrow (Monday 28 Oct). 

Fush*tsusha are unquestionably the most savagely psychedelic live proposition I've ever encountered, so I hope it might be of interest to many - here's a taste of their Berlin show on last Friday:

An intimate, whites-of-the-eyeballs London set for Keiji Haino's
revenant psychedelic blues power trio FUsh*tSUSHA, the fiercest,
most transcendent ensemble in this or any other dimension! 

"The greatest rock band on the planet... At this point in time I
think it’s safe to say that no one else has so successfully and rigorously
disinterred and interrogated the basic tenets of rock music as Fush*tsusha and
to think that at 60 years old Haino is still making the most radical and
searching rock music of anyone’s career is a tribute to his commitment to the
specifics of vision and his belief in the potential of the form. From where I’m
sitting it feels like the whole history of rock music has led up to
this."- Volcanic Tongue

At last, BRIDGET HAYDEN returns for her first MoS
appearance since late 2008, when this Vibracathedral Orchestra/Sunburned Hand of
the Man alumnus dragged creeping, savage wraith-blues and jagged, glacial
drone-sheets of mind-shattering purity from the unquiet aether. Unmissable! 

"At her most gleefully feral, Bridget Hayden strips away everything
conventionally “musical” to leave just grimy, obsessively repeating moans and
howls. The other curious aspect of Hayden’s current aesthetic is that she
describes it as “f**ked-up blues,” which is exactly what it is, though that
probably won’t be immediately apparent to a lot of folks. Very, very few people
can take on the blues in 2011 without being spectacularly lame, boring,
disingenuous, or all three. Bridget, however, has hacked away all of the
meaningless tropes to get at the gut-level essence of the form. Her gnarled
squalls convey raw, naked emotion in a way that words couldn’t. Hayden balances
her bad-intentioned Dead C/early Sonic Youth moments with quieter, more
desolate works, substituting queasy dissonance, pronounced tape hiss, and
creaking strings for raw power." - Foxy Digitalis
