BANDCAMP TUESDAY: Finally got round to updating the Giant Tank Bandcamp page with nae less than SIXTEEN releases that I created outwith Usurper over the last couple of decades, including my long out-of-print 2010 album for the much missed Total Vermin label, 'Just Leave It', which has, for reasons unknown, been my most requested reissue for some years. Everything costs just ONE QUID apart fae the recent Off Brand album so ye can probably afford a pick 'n' mix!

OBVS I'll be at Tectonics wi bells on, and would encourage youse to do the same, but I just wanted to acknowledge the presence of Marlo De Lara & Euan Currie on this bill. Not least 'cos Euan Currie has been one of my most valued pals & collaborators since he was pretty much an actual bairn. Stoked to see the Muscletusk/ Dead Labour Process/ Brittle Hammer Trio's magnetic muck manipulating Reekie weirdo scene lynchpin on the big stage and overjoyed that he's keeping such esteemed company as Doc De Lara. DINNAE SLEEP ON THIS RARE CHANCE TO SEE THIS INCREDIBLE DUO & SO MUCH MORE!

Tectonics is a Music Festival curated by Ilan Volkov, proudly presented by Iceland Symphony Orchestra. It takes place in Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík 1.- 3. March
