The Highpoint Lowlife Label showcases it's diverse roster with a night of noise, bass and rhythmic destruction. Starting with the unbridled feedback and guitar pedal manipulation of Mandelbrot, through the low end skewed hip hop of Fisk Industries, building up to a pressure point with The Village Orchestra and Marcia Blaine School For Girls, and culminating in a turntable DJ set from Production Unit!

The Marcia Blaine School For Girls
based out of Glasgow, the MBSFG have been steadily building a solid reputation for unconventional electronics, rearranging elements of dancehall, techno, rave, hip hop and minimalism, and moulding it together into their own distinctive sound. The MBSFG have released a slew of records in recent years, with releases on Highpoint Lowlife, Stuff Records, Static Caravan, Dalriada, Benbecula and Awkward Silence, and also help run and DJ one of Glasgows most prominent underground monthly clubs, 'Numbers', now resident at Glasgow's legendary Sub Club.

The Village Orchestra
TVO is one third of the Marcia camp, and takes in a multitude of influences from sprawling ambience through to detroit techno. Expect a devastating dancefloor oriented set for this show.

Fisk Industries
Mat Ranson has been developing his Fisk Industries project for the past few years, and is truly on top of his game at the moment, as the bass gets deeper, the beats get dirtier and he pushes himself into further realms of evil instrumental hip hop. His recent sets have been nothing short of floor shaking in their cavernous resonance. With two EPs on Highpoint Lowlife, and various web releases, all of which were collected on a double disc album by Mush Records last year, Fisk Industries will be showing off his latest works, set for release in 2008 on a new album.

Mandelbrot
Keung's Mandelbrot Set project released their debut album on HPLL on 2006, a pummeling take on shoegaze and postrock - as the band has mutated and changed through several lineups, the one thing that has remained consistent is the creativity and originality of his process and sound. Utilizing upwards of thirteen effects pedals for control of his guitar, the sounds which emanate from his setup are anything but recognisable. Taking pointers from the physical sound of Sun O))), the complex textures of Tim Hecker, and combining the sort of beautiful melodies which David Pajo/Papa M was known for, Mandelbrot juxtapose disparate elements into a completely new primordial sound. Joined on stage by Lina on violin, the combination is intoxicating.

Production Unit
Another member of the MBSFG, and resident DJ at the Numbers club, expect some booty shaking mashups of techno, electro, hip hop, grime and whatever else he can throw in the mix!

It should be a night to remember! Tickets available from:
