Times : 8pm
Tickets : £4 Ticket on the door Only
A new series of monthly salon-type events, hosted by The Wire magazine, and dedicated to the fine art and practice of thinking and talking about music. The evenings, which will take place on the first Thursday of each month, will consist of readings, discussions, panel debates, film screenings, DJ sets and even the occasional live performance.
For the second event in the series, Steve Goodman (Kode9, Hyperdub), author of Sonic Warfare, and Ken Hollings, author of Welcome To Mars and Destroy All Monsters, will discuss the various ways in which has been deployed as a weapon, from the military use of sonic bombs to the cult of the soundclash. The night will also feature screenings of World War Two-era US army training films on the art of sonic warfare.
