Hacker Farm gig – tomorrow! I probably can’t make it – but you should!
Hacker Farm is Kek-W and Farmer Glitch.
I previously bigged them up on here when they came to town to do the Exotic Pylon radio session. That was before I heard their CD, “Poundland”
In my ADD twitter feed, I’ve described this release variously as:
“low-fi pulsing cheekiness… like Ekoplekz, but on a farm, on acid. In the 1730s… darkside agricultural nightmare soundscapes. Side effects of that bootleg fertiliser… Crawling down the lane.”
Hacker Farm’s willful lo-fi, low-tech, low-down-dirty not giving a fuck about anything except the important stuff attitude is compelling. Obsolete equipment, operated by rusty geezers on a mission.
I’ve been listening to the CD a lot and I am gutted about not being able to make the gig. Mr Mugwump’s nights are always worth checking and the set from Ekoplekz earlier this year was especially satisfying. Go along, and then taunt me with stories about how good it was.
Special bonus feature in The Wire with audio.
I’ve been sent some amazing DIY music over the last few months and I need to make time to do a podcast so people can get a taste of it…
