'One of underground music's consistently brilliant anomalies.' Pitchfork

Their music is drawn from British post punk and synth pop, modern Western classical, noise and experimental genres, Asian percussion, American folk, house, techno and 1950s rock n roll.

Creep Show (support)
Join us for the live launch performance of Creep Show's second album, on Bella Union Records.
Creep Show (a collaboration between John Grant, Stephen Mallinder, Phil Winter and Ben “Benge” Edwards) returns with the launch of their second album Yawning Abyss. The album title raises as many eyebrows as that of their debut album, Mr Dynamite, which was celebrated for its unique upbeat electronica, experimental pop and surreal funk.
With John Grant added to the mix, Creep Show's debut album distilled collective years of musical talent into inspired social commentary, all shaped by sound generated from Ben “Benge” Edwards' lifetime collection of analogue synths and drum machines, along with Stephen Mallinder's Cabaret Voltaire tones and Phil Winter's electronic wizardry.

Support / Infinity Knives
Infinity Knives is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer from Baltimore, by way of Madagascar, Tanzania, and South Africa.
Support from I Am Fya : I Am Fya is an experimental artist from Manchester, based in Brighton, UK. When The Rosehill solicited a noise set, I Am Fya accepted the challenge. She will be performing When Worlds Collide : a special, one-of-a-kind experimental noise set focussing on the juxtaposition of urban and country life. Incorporating harsh city sounds, distorted textures, sub-bass drones, eavesdropped conversations, household sounds, the beeps and bustle of an A&E waiting room, daredevil car rides clashing with bird song and freestyled vocals. The conflicting sounds will overlap, fight for attention, rise and fall, and accidental rhythms will come and go.
