Pimmon returns to Perth to launch his new album. Pimmon’s rare drone sounds are internationally recognised and critically acclaimed, with releases on the likes of Tigerbeat 6, Sirr and Fat Cat, Curse You, Evil Clown

 

Expect electronic guitar, percussion which translates into a transcending conventional instrumental show from Oren Ambarchi. Ambarchi returns to Perth to support and collaborate with Pimmon.

 

Perth’s Mystic Eyes plays guitar and delivers a “psychedelic estampida” which will set the drone of this eclectic evening.

 

Tickets available at 78 Records, Planet or on the door.
