Ampersand/Mothax/Sky:Lark/Tikoloshe

April 30

The Substation: 7.30 - 10.55pm/£3

Limbo presents a night of music and noise in the anarchic Mayday spirit.

Ampersand formed in 2001 in South London, taking influence from This Heat, Throbbing Gristle and Stockhausen. While they are interested in the sounds of 80's industrial experimentalists such as Einstürzende Neubauten, their approach is different; fully improvised and incorporating the serial ‘misuse’ of various equipment and heavy machinery.

Support comes from Mothax (London), whose industrial noise is created with modified and home-made instruments; Sky:Lark (Margate/London), local post-hardcore sandblasters recently expanded to a four-piece; and Tikoloshe (Canterbury).

As holiday makers and day-trippers flock to the beach to enjoy the sun and seaside amusements, Margate like many seaside towns, comes to life in the summer. But, in the winter, many of the outdoor amusements and even some of the businesses who trade during the summer, close down. It is Margate’s Dead Season.

Looking at the annual life cycle of seaside towns, and drawing on the rich traditions, myths and rituals of life, death and rebirth, Limbo aims to breathe new life into winter.
