ft. Ikue Mori + Mystical Weapons. Part of Festival of Neighbourhood and Meltdown

Body/Head, the experimental duo of Kim Gordon and Bill Nace, are joined by legendary No Wave musician, Ikue Mori. Ikue has been playing electronic percussion for the last 25 years, and her band DNA was one of Kim's original inspirations.

To Body/Head's two-guitar ‘dissonantine’ and haunted vocals, Ikue brings not just her electronics, but also live drumming - this is the first time she is playing a drum kit in public in 25 years.

Kim says of perfroming with Ikue, 'I’ve been searching for a drummer like Ikue to play with ever since seeing DNA play back in the day. Playing with her and Bill is a dream come true.'

Support comes from Mystical Weapons - the collaborative project of Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier and Sean Lennon.
