Container / Will Guthrie (duo) + @xcrswx

No Longer Available

Looking forward to welcoming this brand new collaboration between Container - aka the the stripped-down, beat-oriented electronic project of Ren Schofield - and the great Australian drummer / percussionist, Will Guthrie! Performing first on the evening will be @xcrswx, the duo of Crystabel Riley and Seymour Wright.

Container

Container is the long running electronic solo project of American-born London-based musician Ren Schofield. Combining his background in noise-rock and tape music with techno and rhythmic electronics, his sound is characterised by propulsive beats and liberal doses of distortion. Container has always danced the absurd space between serious and stupid, and on his latest release, ‘Yacker’ (2024), all elements are turned up to eleven as he delivers a pristine field guide to furious frenzied fun. Citing his inspiration on ‘Yacker' as the Nirvana song ‘Oh, The Guilt’, the Mindflayer album ‘It’s Always 1999’, and the Rah Bras song ‘Sooop Toe Pump Girls’, Schofield strikes an even balance between heavy, relentless, joyful, silly, and sloppy.
