Leeds’ LEGION OF SWINE have announced dates on Leeds and York and appear alongside some of the premium purveyors of noise from the north of England and further afield. Dates are as follows. For more info, links are below...

8th June: HOGWASH #17 - Fox & Newt, Leeds, with RAEPPEN, ORLANDO FERGUSON, LORENZO ABBATTOIR and CLIVE HENRY. Entry £5 (or what you can afford).

9th June: Wonkystuff #5 – The Fleeting Arms, York, with RAEPPEN, ORLANDO FERGUSON, LORENZO ABBATTOIR and CLIVE HENRY. Entry £2


LEGION OF SWINE from Leeds works with drones, field recordings, noise samples and loops. Speech fragments are taken from news reels, reconstructed to make samples for decomposing social phenomena, to make them, visible, audible. Where Public Enemy understood themselves as Black CNN, LEGION OF SWINE can be understood as a Live Noise Blog, that formulates the discomforts and isolation that construct society. The collapsing of relations and the violence that forces this unease is put into sound as well as the reflection of the negativity these conditions create. The times of agitprop punk are long gone – the critic and the negation of hegemonic relations become noise, distortion, toxic in LEGION OF SWINE. No instruction, but cracks open up and traces are set – Fight the Power, somehow!
