LEITH FESTIVAL LOWBROW NOISES

For those in Edinburgh, the Leith Festival is on from 5 - 14 June. A traiditonal community festival with a varied programme of arts, music etc etc. And this year, you get this junk too:::

Giant Tank Presents: Muscletusk/ Wounded Knee/ Scrim/ Dora Doll & Ali Robertson
Tuesday 9th June, Queen Charlotte Rooms, 56a Queen Charlotte Street, Leith
£5, doors 7.30pm sharp
Buy tickets here: www.leithfestival.com

Edinburgh experimental label Giant Tank showcases a cavalcade of Leith-based avant-noise practitioners in their own 'hood. Expect homebrewed electronics, leadweight clatter, outsider vocals, blissful drones and improv absurdia.

"...Reasons to go see Giant Tank... Edinburgh's premier promoters of aktionist noise happenings... It's not music. It's just noise. And there is nothing like it... It's not big. Or clever. But at various times it promises a stomach-churning, vomit-inducing, spiteful ugly and puerile racket. All of which are to be encouraged..." - The List
