John Carpenter would be a fun gig :
I see sunn are playing a labyrinth in Italy early September, I will be hitching around Europe then so may try to meet that one. My last sunn gig in London was a letdown, I don't think they were allowed the usual volume and from where I was I could hear the rattling of the rails and stalls louder than the band. Amazing performance, bad sound. I saw them in a Church around the time of Monoliths & Dimensions and that was perfect, aside from the loud drunk people who don't get the meditative nature and think it's a metal gig.I see Gravetemple (O'Malley, Atilla, & Oren Ambarchi) is happening in Turkey also. Probably a little too far but I attended two nights of Gravetemple improv performances in London and both nights were perhaps the most profound experiences of live sound ever. I ended up sat on the floor after realising I was leaving my body, "GRAVETEMPLE is a sacred metaphor and psychedelic spiritual abstraction". It was beautiful for the time, but very much like a passage through death. If you're into the more inventive/musical side of sunn then if you ever get a chance for Gravetemple DO NOT MISS IT!!!
