Hi, I'm trying to get a gig or 2 organised for KK Null's band ANP in Ireland and am appealing to any promoters who might be into it.
KK Null (Zenigeva) and Seijiro Murayama (ex-Fushitsusha) will be available mid April for Irish shows. All details are below, and I'm sure fee is negotiable!
Anybody interested can mail me at [email protected].
Cheers.

ANP (Absolut Null Punkt)
- Kazuyuki K.Null - nullsonic (electronics) , voice, etc
- Seijiro Murayama - drums, percussion, etc
ANP (Absolut Null Punkt) was originally formed in 1984 by KK.NULL (before he
started his progressive hardcore rock trio ZENI GEVA) and Seijiro Murayama
(original drummer of Keiji Haino's FUSHITSUSHA).
after several releases (inc. "Killsonic Action" LP on Dossier Records in
Germany), ANP once broke up in 1987. and now they have reunioned and started
to play together for the first time in 15 years!!
it's not easy to categorize or describe their style ; you'll find free jazz,
heavy rock, industrial noise, glitch, free improvisation dynamics, and more.
the brand new album "Absolut Null Punkt" (self-titled) CD will be released
in March 2004 on Important Records, USA.
- KK. NULL (Kazuyuki K.Null)
KK.Null is one of the top names of the Japanese noise scene and beyond
that, a true cult artist among the followers of leftfield rock worldwide.
His list of collaborations is impressive - Steve Albini, Jim O'Rourke,
Merzbow, and many others - but maybe he is best known for Zeni Geva.
In recent years his output has concentrated on solo material, which could be
called "cosmic noise minimalism". the latest releases in 2003 are "Atomik
Disorder" CD on Neurot Recordings (USA), "Zentropy" LP on Autofact
Records(USA), "Xenoglossia" CD with Aexei Borisov on Insofar Vapor Bulk
(Russia) and "Astral Loop" CD on Urgence Disk (Switzerland).
