The hardest IG post we've ever had to do but after a long battle with mental illness, Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin is no longer wth us. Our deepest condolences to his dad Tony (who came to loads of the early black midi shows) and the rest of the family.
It's so so emotional thinking back to those really exciting times when Matt would come in for soundcheck after a day's work inspecting air vents (hence, the song Ducter) and produce some of the best sounds our little stage had ever witnessed, including this night with the late Damo Suzuki.
But while it might look like someone has the world at their feet and all is great, things are not always what they seem. so please look and read the message from his family on slide #2 and keep checking in on each other so that we can all help to avoid tragic gut-wrenching news like this.
RIP Matt, you were such a lovely guy.
The New Colossus Festival is expanding into LONDON!
This year my birthday falls on the day before @prewn_music ’s sold out show in London @oslohackney
I asked a band (who are the secret guest in this flyer and destroyed the New Colossus Festival this year) to have drinks with me that night and they said “book a show at the Windmill and we’ll play it instead.” A show is of course always preferable to drinks in a bar so here we go:
The First Annual New Colossus Festival London Showcase at the legendary venue @windmillbrixton on Monday May 25 featuring four of our favorite New Colossus Festival Alumni.
7pm doors
730pm @blackbordello
815 @sterlingpress
9pm @peerpleasureworkallergic (Who are flying in from Ireland bless them!)
10pm Very Special Guest!
We’ll let you know who that is on May 18th.
Tickets are only 10 pounds cause Tim from the Windmill is the best:
