FRIENDSHIP, BANSHEE LABYRINTH, EDINBURGH, SEPTEMBER 19 2018

 From Japanese post-rock last time to Japanese noise terrorists now.

Line-up:

KUROKUMA: Yes. Them again, those cheeky scamps from Sheffield with their hypno-sludge and their mad-eyed drummer. The accompanying video here features, allegedly, a cover of 'Deeper Underground'.
