Baba Yaga's Hut: Shit and Shine + Lia Mice + Drumm Chimp + L'Ron (DJ)

No Longer Available

“There’s no other band working today for whom the words ‘post-everything’ ring quite as true as they do for Shit & Shine. They’ve traversed uncharted plains between noise rock, outright digital abstraction, and pop-like tropes, shifting from non-sequitur to non-sequitur, donning blue face makeup and rabbit masks, and yelling rambled nonsense over drum rhythms repeated for half an hour at a time before breaking into haphazardly assembled concrete pop. They’re utterly unlike anything else, but only by being sort of like everything else all at once.” – Drowned In Sound

Shit And Shine

“Based in Texas, Craig Clouse makes a lot of music, and he has fun doing it. How else do you explain record titles like Cunts with Roses, Toilet Door Tits, You’re Lucky to Have Friends Like Us and, perhaps best of all, Find Out What Happens When People Start Being Polite For A Fucking Change?

For over 10 years, Clouse and the various other musicians who’ve been in and out of Shine and Shine – the group’s press material regularly refers to performing live with 10 drummers at a time – have been gutting post-punk, krautrock, electro and more for parts, combining the grubbiest aspects of all those sounds into something that’s somewhere between Big Black and Big Beat.” – FACT

Lia Mice

Oram Award winner and artist Lia Mice’s live performances incorporate beat-driven experimental pop, live vocal harmonies and Lia’s self-designed oversized musical instruments. The inventor-producer-performer has performed her large instruments at the ICA, the V&A, Deliaphonic Festival and Islington Assembly Hall. At Cafe Oto, Lia will perform material sample-heavy experimental-pop tracks from her latest album Sweat Like Caramel (Objects Ltd), joined onstage by percussionist Andrew Booker who will perform Lia's latest large instrument - a new eco-friendly development that builds on her design for Guthman-award finalist instrument Chaos Bells.
