KANIA TIEFFER
Hailing from France but now residing in the United States Of Belgium, Kania has been cacking out pleasantly disturbed lo-fi "almost danceable funny music" from her Brussels' laboratory since 2005 with cheap children's keyboards, a battered old computer and an electric guitar. The music itself is a spewed and spurting mishmash of fake nonsense r'n'b and vitriolic electropop that handily provides scant reference points. After some web-eps, 7" singles and tracks in a few compilations, she released her debut album on Bordeaux's Wwilko records, following that up with recordings on her own Uhh Records imprint.
The otter-fixated maiden has toured all around Europe, and now Distraction brings her to Newcastle for your pleasure.
Dressed In Wires
DiW's Simondo Topless drags you bleeding and kicking through a tumult of Laptronica, Post-Gabba, Blip-Hop, Glitch-Hop, Chip-Hop, 8-bitronica, Wreckstep, Kronk, Bootmash, Breakcunt, Dub-Bass Splattercore, Harsh Clunge, Fuckstep, Thugstep, Powerpop, Noisewhore, and Wrongtronica, not in any order. All from his souped-up, heavily modded, hacked & cracked laptop, precariously wired together with a few guitar distortion pedals and delapidated Midi tomfoolery.
Playing live, it’s a whole other mighty kettle of fish; rarely pretty, never a beauty contest. Now that fans have actually started bringing in their own unwanted computer equipment for DiW to physically and emotionally abuse, things can only get bloodier.
