SHFTD & Strange Brew presents⁠ ⁠ Jarboe feat. Thor Harris & Joy Von Spain⁠ Dawn Terry⁠ Sade Arellano⁠ ⁠ Jarboe feat. Thor Harris & Joy Von Spain⁠ Influential avant-garde artist Jarboe, and former member of the legendary Swans, will embark on a UK and European tour in May 2026, presenting a truly unique and powerful collaboration alongside multi-instrumentalist Thor Harris (ex-Swans, Xiu Xiu, Shearwater) and vocalist/composer Joy Von Spain (Eye of Nix). Jarboe’s live set, an immersive experience forged across decades of boundary-pushing music, will draw from her deep catalogue of industrial, experimental and atmospheric works. The trio will also debut two ambient pieces from her forthcoming album, “Sightings”. The performance is a unique union of ritual, sound and raw emotion, showcasing three distinct voices from the experimental underground working in transformative harmony.⁠ ⁠ Dawn Terry⁠ From the days of Bong to a host of collaborations; Dawn Terry is a mainstay of the UK underground. She plays slow, melancholic music for sad people. Based in Newcastle, she is a veteran drone artist producing work that is heavy, dreamlike and hypnotic. Her performances unfold patiently, building immersive walls of tone and texture that feel both intimate and overwhelming.⁠ ⁠ Sade Arellano⁠ Rooted in oral tradition and a DIY communal spirit, Sade’s music draws from English, Scottish, and Irish folk, medieval ballads, Yiddish klezmer, and Appalachian songs. Their raw, intimate sound built on drone chords, simple melodies, and story-driven spell-casting forms a living, breathing folk practice.⁠ ⁠ Tuesday, 19th May – 7pm till 10:30pm⁠ ⁠ SEATED SHOW – over a ⅓ of tickets for this have already sold, this will sell out. Final tickets available on Headfirst & Dice.⁠ ⁠ @jarboeliving @thorharris @joyvonspain ⁠ @mythicc_dawn ⁠ @ex.icon ⁠ ⁠ Poster by @goldi.lux_

fav moments from 2025 :—-) full moons that look like sunrise, cute outfits, holidays with friends, creating liquid gold electric lightning at glastonbury, contemplating life n death with insects, homies, naps in sunshine, portable altars and nomadic auto- mobile based rituals, good props for the moshpit, making music for friends making them weep happy tears, being cunty with bestie, yummy snacks, being silly in the forest at 6am, shouting down a mic with a balaclava on, being slutty and gay, more altars, running a pawn shop, and slutty coding projects

New mural installation [Diagrammacy] from artists @jolo_morganwg @ex.icon & @mrcn.gwn Diagrammancy (n.) - The esoteric practice of divining meaning and manifesting reality through the indeliberate deconstruction and manipulation of diagrams, charts, and visual schemas. “...Drawing from ancient traditions of sacred geometry and modern information visualization, diagrammancy operates at the intersection of mystical praxis and cognitive scaffolding. Through the reckless arrangement of nodes, edges, and flows, the diagrammancer harnesses the inherent power of visual abstraction to both map and shape the underlying patterns of existence. Critics dismiss it as merely a postmodern reskinning of sigil magic and marketing. As with many such practices, its greatest value may lie not in its claims to supernatural power, but in its ability to reveal our human compulsion to organize, categorize, and connect everything we encounter, even the fundamentally unknowable. Also, It’s not that deep.”
