Braw Gigs Presents: L / T.R.I.P. / Pale World & Y Gwacter

A Braw Gigs Xmas Bash! - L - a Glasgow trio made up of vocalist/card magician Jack Paton, guitarist Jack Mellin and drummer Laurie Pitt. Together, they perform intense, dissociative music that combines Paton’s confrontational spoken word with Mellin & Pitt’s blistering take on metal, jazz, noise, and art rock. "L" is praised for their emotional live shows. Paton’s earnest vocals veer from cartoon-croon to body horror—set to the microsecond by Mellin & Pitt’s pinpoint shredding.TRANS-REALMIC INTEGRATION PORTAL (aka. TRIP): frequencies to soothe the mind and body by way of synths, bells and other assorted contraptions from Braw Buddies DONNA and Ruaraidh Sanachan. You may have caught them at the Banshee back in 2023 opening for Repeated Viewing, amidst a haze of incense and mystical analogue rumble – so come get blissed out in time for the holidays. Harsh noise musician Pale World (Joe Parkes) and visual artist Y Gwacter (Angharad Jones), create raw textural noise compositions derived from live painting. Based in Newcastle, the duo has performed at this year’s amazing Negative Output Festival in Salford and shared the stage with countless underground acts in the North East and beyond, creating live canvas paintings to extreme electronics – it's an audio-visual feast to behold.
