This is a rare event. The mysterious and elusive Black Mekon usually keep their dark scuzzy brand of fuzzed up dirty garage safely to themselves, which is just as well as exposure to their swamp driven filthy blues confection is liable to induce seizures in the unwitting. Off the leash in Moseley this Friday and for nothing; not even a Treen shekel, so come and join Black Mekon and his brother Black Mekon, who together make Black Mekon. A godlike duo that will unleash an unholy symphony of distorted buzzsaw mayhem into your sense containers, beware they may implode. Psycho rockers Terror Watts and DJ Priscilla B will be facilitating musical first aid.
