UK-based purveyors of noise Sly & The Family Drone and Dutch/British free jazz unit Dead Neanderthals form the ultimate tag team of the murky European underground. After releasing a split on the God Unknown label last year, they followed this up with a full collaborative album 'Molar Wrench' on Hominid Sounds. Expect disgusting noise rock of titanic proportions ready to pound the muck out of your ears and the pus out of your eyes.
“As tough as concrete yet as cold as the furthest reaches of deep space, these two cuts reverberate with the Heliocentric power of Sun Ra at his most cosmic with the building shattering heaviness of a Japanese noise-god. The result is sonic impurity in its most gut-mangling form.” – Paul Margree, We Need No Swords, on Molar Wrench
'After our joyous collaboration at the ICA in 2019, Sly are excited to collaborate again with our friends from the Gate!
Expect semi-controlled chaos and a celebration of the joys of truly open, spontaneous and collaborative music-making. A beautiful spillage of interwoven rhythms, blistering arches of saxophone, half-heard voices, catapulting tape delays, amplifier feedback and more, steered into multidirectional frenzy or unified gallop by the nuanced interactions of improvisatory committee'

The Dutch sax/drums duo Dead Neanderthals scorches its way through free jazz, metal, drone and minimal music, leaving nothing but cinders in its wake. Their self proclaimed New Wave Of Dutch Heavy Jazz is played at Intensity-level 12 and annihilation-level 15.
