Fred Frith is a legendary guitarist, known for his work with Henry Cow, Art Bears, Zorn’s Naked City, Laswell’s Material, The Residents and his own phenomenal trio, Skeleton Crew, featuring Zeena Parkins and Tom Cora. In the mean time, Fred Frith institutionalised his aura as a Professor of Composition at the renowned Mills College.

But Frith soon started to miss the raw sound of real rock music, and the chemistry of creating and rehearsing with others. That’s why he formed Cosa Brava in 2008, in which he surrounds himself with powerful ladies such as Carla Kihlstedt (2 Foot Yard, Tin Hat, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) and Zeena Parkins (who previously worked with Frith in Skeleton Crew and Keep the Dog and also known for her collaborations with Elliot Sharp, John Zorn, Björk, Jim O’Rourke, Lee Ranaldo). The band performs an explosive cocktail of experimental jazz, free folk, and solid rock. Their new album, ‘Ragged Atlas’ has just been released on Intakt Records, and the band will start its official CD release tour in Vooruit!

Wolf Eyes is the Michigan-based noise-core trio Nate Young, John Olson and Mike Connelly. Their body of work covers an almost infinite range of obscure LPs, cassettes, cd-rs, re-releases, split LPs, CDs and solo outings on both small DIY labels as well as renowned labels. After classics such as Burned Mind and Human Animal on Sub Pop, they released in 2009 Always Wrong. Tipped as the loudest concert so far in Netwerk.

Rangda is the new group from the super-heavy psych greats Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), Ben Chasney (Six Organs of Admittance, Comets on Fire) and Chris Corsano (himself) both on paper and live: psychedelic guitar trash, energy drums and a pinch of classic rock. The label Drag City releases in May their debut.

Sic Alps is the psychedelic garage trio (Mike Donovan, Matt Hartman & Noel Harmonson) from San Francisco, which goes back to both the sixties sound of the Bay Area as well as the lo-fi sounds from the nineties. Tremendously exciting to see live!

Vom Grill is Dennis Tyfus: brain behind the Ultra Eczema label, visual artist, cultural phenomenon.
