Scissorgun plus Marizu+Ruqia
About this Event
Scissorgun were formed in August 2016 in Manchester. They are an electronic trio comprised of Dave Clarkson (synths, rhythms, tapes), Alan Hempsall (vocals, treated guitar, percussion, samples, loops) and Adrian Ball (light show and projections). The musical scope is varied, one minute pastoral dreams, the next crashing swathes of noise chased down with a dub twist.
(2020), ‘Psychological Colouring Book’ (2021) and ‘Scream If You Wanna Go Faster’ (2025).
What the critics say:
“Scissorgun create Northern electronic shanties and sound collages that feel like snapshots of a city at night, moving from drunken chaos to minicab grime reveries to a new dawn, electronic beauty” – Mojo
“In a world where rinky-dink electro-pop has become the degree zero of modern music, artists who genuinely explore the full potential of synthetic sound have become all too rare” Louder Than War
“It’s urban music with the heart of improvisational jazz and the bones of industrial post-punk” Chain D.L.K.
“Stop dreaming of wires and feel those rivets” – Electronic Sound
“Full of power and beauty, the ideas are varied and clever.” – TQ Magazine
“If they unearth a chunk of portentous Black Mirror outtakes any time soon, you wouldn’t bet against Scissorgun being the main soundtrack protagonists.” – Flipside Reviews
