For the first time in many years, two of Australia's most innovative and challenging improvising guitarists are reunited in Melbourne for a duo of sublime genius. Featuring Hobart's one-and-only Schwitters of guitar, Greg Kingston, and Melbourne avant legend, Dave Brown, The Handy Doorholes are an unlikely melding of two utterly confused temperaments where Chaos, bad sex, dead melody, nervous tics, call and response, bird talk, incendiary noise, threatened quietude, and beautiful melodic banter all loop and channel into one sick amalgam by dint of two electric guitars and a plethora of weird electrical devices, toys and junk. And returning for what promises to be an incredible conjunction of sonorific forces, improv-noise trailblazers, Pete Hyde and Dan Brady are joined by avant-techno wiz, and Abre Ojos alter-ego, Scott Baker. • The Handy Doorholes, featuring: Greg Kingston (TAS) (guitar and toys) and Dave Brown (guitar and noys)
• Pete Hyde (voice and noise), Dan Brady (tapes and noise) and Scott Baker (analog synths and noise)
