Black Sun is on the road! Joining forces with Pissbow, Dublin, Sudden Infant, Family Battle Snake and more tbc will be performing in the Joinery on Wednsday June 23rd. We may also be bringing our experimental film programme on the road too so those of you who don't make Black Sun in Cork can still get an opportunity to see works from the amazing UK experimental filmmaker Jeff Keen. We might also make arrangements to have the same vegan cupcake set up as down south. Really hope a lot of you get to come along to the night. The two lads are excited to be doing an extra show in Ireland.

SUDDEN INFANT / JOKE LANZ
Born in Switzerland and currently operating out of Berlin, Joke Lanz is a prolific artist working with sound and performance since 1986. His activities in various solo and collective guises (for music groups, radio projects, theater and dance endeavors) have included Sudden Infant, Schimpfluch-Gruppe, WAL, Catholic Boys In Heavy Leather, Jaywalker, Opposite Opponents, MK Selection, Psychic Rally, The Eye of Arghhh, Tell and countless others. He has also toured the world over with various acolytes and has released his works on some of the most prominent record labels in the noise underground (Schimpfluch, Tochnit Aleph, Blossoming Noise, Entr'acte, Artware, SSSM, Klanggalerie, Some Bizarre, iDeal Rec and many more).
Sudden Infant is Lanz' longest-running and most enduring project. Its inception in 1989 was borne out of Lanz' urgent drive to combine sound art and performance into one visceral whole -- by doing so, his performances frequently bring forth elements and influences from Dada, actionism, Fluxus, noise, and punk, as well as some of industrial music's most trenchant performers.
A Sudden Infant performance will typically be anchored by two main characteristics: the use of minimal electronic equipment on one side, on the other a strong focus on the human body, its reduced essence, and the sound-worlds it contains and spews forth. Sudden Infant is a vehicle for Lanz to run acoustic and psychic elements to their end by focusing on their bare essentials. Thus doing, he establishes an extremely tense aesthetic of performance, and tears down any preconceived barriers between noise, performance, improvisation, and electronic music.
FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE
Bill Kouligas is a Berlin based artist who runs the label Pan and also Family Battle Snake, his long running solo experimetal music project. He has collaborated with the likes of Sudden Infant, Christian Weber, Mark Durgan, Chris Corsano, Ashtray Navigations, Stellar OM Source, To Live And Shave In L.A., Anla Courtis, MV Carbon to name but a few.
Family Battle Snake floats on a plane ebbing and flowing between early psychedelia, tape music, and gluey entropicalia. Lava shifts of analogue synth warm cold industrial. Definitely more in the "noises" than "noise" camp. Family Battle Snake is like a cloak of whispers, ominous.
JEFF KEEN SCREENING
Keen began making films at the age of 37 when his art school film society needed things to show. And so began over forty years of unique, imaginative, irrepressible filmmaking. Fiercely independent and working for the most part outside of the mainstream and avant-garde circuits, Keens prolific output has embraced collage, live action, diary film and animation - often played out as expanded cinema performances where chance and accident are vital components.
