Mary Ocher w/ VIDE0, Nummo Twin & Karl d’ Silva
August 15, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 10:59 pm
We welcome back MARY OCHER. An artist who has been persistently creating passionate, uncompromising work… raw, thought provoking, socially and creatively pushing against the current, dealing with subjects of authority, identity and conflict.
Her work is as enchanting as it is polarizing, ranging from traditional folk to raw 60s garage, ambient with ethereal vocals and abstract synths, to experimental pop with African and South American rhythms. She has released 4 studio albums on 5 labels in the past 6 years, as well as a double anthology of home recordings, 2 EPs and 2 collections of remixes. Her previous solo release was produced by Canadian Psych Rock&Roll guru King Khan.
The most recent, “The West Against The People” is out on Klangbad, Hans Joachim Irmler’s label of Faust. It features solo tracks, as well as tracks with her two drummers Your Government, and elusive legends Die Tödliche Doris and Felix Kubin. It also features an essay elaborating on the themes of the album and analyzing the current sociopolitical climate*.

Biog coming, any second…
NUMMO TWIN is a profoundly daring artist from Manchester. Her new EP, ‘Passerby’, has been written and perfromed upon a unique instrument of her own creation, the ‘coniferle’. At turns dreamy, folky, abstract, troubling and troubled, Nummo Twin is absolutely one of Manchester’s rarest, most precious gems.
KARL D’SILVA

Karl D’Silva is a polyglot, having performed across multiple projects and styles with raw determination. He’s perhaps most known for his incredible saxophone work where he uses circular breathing to rattle through drones and arpeggios, often performing alongside Rian Treanor’s (Death of Rave, Planet Mu) dexterous electronics. He’s got an incredible CV, as a current member of noise/power electronics group The Vanishing, and with past performances alongside Thurston Moore, Damo Suzuki, Okkyung Lee, Ex-Easter Island Head, Rhys Chatham and Stephen Mallinder of Cabaret Voltaire to name a few. He’s now turned his hand to solo pop music and early signs look like it’s going to be an incredible project. – Nick Hughes, The Pink Wafer
