Sly and the Family Drone & Lands & Body

About this event

---

Sly & The Family Drone - Neo-jazz wrecking crew from London   Sly & The Family Drone are a neo-jazz wrecking crew hailing from London. With roots in cassette collage and noise experimentation, Sly have grown into a multi-limbed sonic organism. Layering dense electronics, skronking saxophone, and feral percussion into a convulsive celebration of noise, rhythm, and resistance.   Originally formed by Matt Cargill as a cassette manipulation project, Sly have evolved into a full-force live ensemble, positioned somewhere between free jazz, noise, industrial and rave culture. Their music is improvised but never aimless, creating towering crescendos and warped textures that leave no two performances alike.   Their performances are legendary: visceral, anarchic, and deeply communal. Preferring to set up in the round, Sly erase the boundaries between band and audience, transforming passive observers into active contributors and collapsing performance into a shamanic ritual of catharsis.   Having shared stages (or floors) with the likes of Lightning Bolt, Wolf Eyes, Dälek & Swans, and festivals such as Supersonic (UK), Unsound (PL), Supernormal (UK), Milhões de Festa (PT), Incubate (NL), Desertfest (UK) - Sly continue to scorch their own path through the no audience underground at venues and festivals in the UK and beyond
