Venue: WHARF CHAMBERS, LEEDS
The first StrangeForms fest, the brainchild of Stewart and Kerry Ramsay, with able assistance from Steven Creek and, no doubt, many others whose names I don't know. A DIY celebration of underground post-rock, post metal, math-rock and adjacent genres. From humble beginnings...
Line-up:
THE FIERCE AND THE DEAD: Instrumental progressive rock
LOST IN THE RIOTS: London Post-rockers, clearly not fond of shirts
POLY-MATH: Future StrangeForms regulars and math-rock legends
ENVOYS: Local post-metallers, featuring the aforementioned Steven Creek on guitar. The one in the white t-shirt, by the way. Broke up, but getting back together to play SF2023.
VASA: Frantic Glaswegian post/math-rock. John Niblock on bass, strange facial contortions and the origin of much toilet graffiti. Back again for 2023.
QUADRILLES: Math-pop from London. Late replacement for LATITUDES who couldn't make it.
HIMSELF: Interactive noise rock
