Are you autistic? You'll probably enjoy this power electronics/harsh noise/industrial gig i'm putting on at the Grosvenor (Stockwell) on Sat 25 May.

I've spammed this a few times, but i'm putting on Consumer Electronics on Sat 25 May at the Grosvenor in Stockwell. Full supporting line-up too, featuring DiS user Cementimental amongst others.

Details here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/623934960955207/

Here's a review of their last gig (on the DiS-affiliated Thrash Hits):

"We very quickly learn that not all noise is A Good Thing. Consumer Electronics are first to take the stage, with a clear intent to baffle tonight’s crowd. I “get” noise music; I’ve listened to records by Throbbing Gristle and Merzbow and found them vaguely palatable, but this is like a Chris Morris parody of performance art. Harsh blasts of white noise deafen the crowd, as a Rob Halford lookalike barks expletives with all the linguistic dexterity of a Lee Evans set. I firmly believe after this performance that people should have to apply for licence to be able to create sound; this can surely only be endured, let alone enjoyed, by the most autistic of the autistic. If there’s a joke I didn’t get, it definitely wasn’t a very funny one."

Hmmm, interesting...
