werewolves of brighton - clocks tick by themselves

The full moon played havoc with us tonight. Equipment malfunctions, homing pigeons circling the neighbourhood unable to find a home, badness all round.


The lucky recipients of the brunt of the lunar waywardness were ad:art who repeatedly struggled against collapsing hard drives, but eventually succumbed to the whmsy of fate.

And bringing things to a chaotic and imaginative close was a collaboration between Eastbournes finest and a another group making their debut we had Deepkiss720 featuring Meat Dream. Beyond description as anything that involves Deepkiss720 seems to be it featured home made suits and masks; an electronic mug tree, unplugged leads and all manner of butchered devices.
