Merzbow/Melt-Banana/Ruins Alone

This looks set to be a real face-melter of a show. Pioneering noise artist Merzbow – whose laptop sets have been known to reduce grown men to whimpering heaps – will be sharing a stage at Bushbash with speedcore survivors Melt-Banana (a favourite of the late John Peel) and Ruins Alone, aka prog-tastic singing drummer Tatsuya Yoshida. It's a no-smoking show, and they serve vegetarian food at the bar – just the way Merzbow likes it.
