Now a core duo of David Little (guitar, synths and electronics) and Manchester experimental music legend Dave Clarkson (synths, electronics), LOS shows are unpredictable and often involve a fair amount of improvisation, but expect a brew of motorik jams, electronic experimentalism and psychedelic guitar explosions. Dave Clarkson and LOSRND will also be performing some solo material.
Music from 9pm. Free Entry, donations towards events always welcome.
