Friday 7 July 2023, 8pm
A special night dedicated to beloved cult Scottish post-punk/pop band, The Associates, following the death of founder member, Alan Rankine at the start of the year.
The group's work has been a huge influence on so many of the acts who have passed through OTO, so it felt only right to celebrate this legacy with a dedicated night featuring three live performances responding to their music in different ways, plus tracks from The Associates and related artists on the decks throughout the night.
Vindicatrix is a producer, singer and multi-instrumentalist, working mostly with electronics but also incorporating histrionic vocal improvisation, maudlin crooning, and composition for chamber ensemble. Previous releases can be found on Mordant Music, Scum Yr Earth, purge.xxx and Cellule75.
