MERZBOW (JAPAN) / WHITEHOUSE (UK) / CAT HOPE (WA)

FEBRUARY 10 2004

SEMINAL NOISE FROM JAPAN AND THE UK

This very special first Club Zho for 2004 brings two of the worlds most important extreme music acts together. Be ready for extreme vocals and electronically generated soundscapes unlike anything else. Merzbow is without doubt the king of noise - with more releases and diversity than any other artist known - an average of 5 CD albums a year since 1985 - that's not including previous vinyl. This will be Whitehouse's first visit to Australia since their foundation in 1980 and tours worldwide. They have recorded over 17 albums, the most recent being 2003's revolutionary new Bird Seed which rated an Honorary Mention at ARS Electronica that year.
