Plug: Sŵn Moo Sick at Chapter (7pm, 11/11/2008)


As part of the city-wide Sŵn music festival, Club Foot Foot presents an informative and entertaining evening of music documentaries, videos and random footage focusing on the heights and depths of audio absurdity & sonic ingenuity.

Maverick sound pioneers, deluded pop lunatics and everything in between. From Harry Partch to David Hasslehoff, Erkki Kurenniemi to Wesley Willis, The Monks to the Collins Kids, Sun City Girls to Lil’ Markie and more.

Primitive electronica, ‘outsider’ musicians, TV ‘talent’ shows, avant-garde boy bands and apocalyptic sex cults go pop!

£2 (on the door) / free with Sŵn wristband
