Arkestra

Description:
Listen up slackers. You’ve had things too easy, musically, so get that game face on and concentrate. The Difficult Music Festival is kicking on at the cosy Sedition Gallery*, and we recommend you squeeze in for the space-rock drone of Arkestra, featuring Aleesha Dibbs and Jasper Clifford-Smith. These tunes are dense and intense, and best enjoyed with eyes closed and mind open. The festival wraps up at the month’s end, so get down there because often it’s the tricky things that are the most rewarding. Here’s to doing things the hard way. – JB

*except for this gig, which has moved to OAF!
