The second in the ‘Heads on Sticks Presents’ series of curated live music makes its way to Sebright Arms!

Industrial powerhouse and essential member of shadowy cabal Avon Terror Corps Concentration are coming to the U.K.! Responsible for some of the most visceral and puerile blasts of gutter-jazz and electronic s**t, coupled with an explosive reputation for head-spinningly wild performances, the Aussie/German trio promise a night that’s equal parts terrifying, absurd, queasy, and plenty of h***y. An old ‘Ead favourite and a night not to be missed!

Scoring class decay and everyday alienation, post-punk misfits Findom channel the contemporary malaise with an acerbic brew of no wave abrasion and agitated anti-jazz, a gothic witness to Britain’s death drive!

October 13th, tickets below, see you there!

An unwavering commitment to a staunch, independent ethos underpinned his practice, not a scintilla of compromise across his musical output and voluminous engineering work. Responsible for some of the greatest American punk ever recorded with Big Black’s caustic noise-rock, and conjuring sonic brittleness and subtle abrasion from any band that entered his studios.
