ORGAN RECOMMENDS GIBBY HAYNES / EVICSHEN @ Islington Assembly Hall, 7.30pm, £42adv

"This summer marks the return of one of punk’s most unpredictable voices to the stage. Gibby Haynes, co-founder and frontman of the Butthole Surfers, announces his first tour in many years—this time with an unexpected and thrilling twist. Backed by a powerhouse band of highly trained teenage musicians from the Thunes Institute of Musical Excellence (TIME), the tour offers a fresh and faithful take on Butthole Surfers classics, deeper cuts, and other sonic oddities. Scott Thunes, best known as Frank Zappa’s longtime bassist and Clonemeister (rehearsal leader) throughout the 1980s is also part of the band. An opening set by the TIME students playing classic punk cuts, followed by a solo performance from Evicshen – the acclaimed San Francisco-based noise artist known for her visceral, unclassifiable sets – and finally the main act: Gibby Haynes performing Butthole Surfers material, backed by this next-generation ensemble..."

Codex Serafini, "This is music to become immersed in whilst dancing in a mad dopamine rush. The vocals are soaring over and around, while the drums take us from soft and steady, to pacy and urgent, to frantic and erratic. The bass is keeping us grounded with cool, calm, sinuous lines, while the sax blows up from sultry and cheeky to free-jazz-wild to make vibrant, kaleidoscopic intensity of their spacious, heavy psychedelia."
