The occasion was the private view of the pop up space, The Warehouse Gallery. The exhibition hosted Brighton’s finest stencil workers, collectively known as the Beastie Toys; Cassettelord, ZeeZee22, Funky Red Dog, Chum 101 and Archi Ram.
The band had set up to create like a living room atmosphere with a view to provide the sonic backdrop for the event. Laila had just finished creating her electric bottle xylophone and Alex had brought his new toy, the Monotron hooked up to a radio alarm clock. Benjamin set the tone of the gig as he launched into the haunting ‘She Said…’ and the evening was set for a rather dark, yet engulfing sonic experience. The contrast between the visuals and sounds were beautiful!
