An entire day of free music for you lucky people. Including EBM, electronic, experimental and goth. 6 bands, roughly one an hour. There is bound to be some horrible disaster so come and see. Maybe something will explode*. That would be pretty cool.

If like 99% of the rest of the world you have no clue what "EBM" means, it means "Electronic Body Music". Still no clue? well imagine if a hard 4/4 dance track got out of bed in a really bad mood and wanted to make other people suffer. OK?

* don't worry, I'm probably joking about the explosions.

Members of Temple ov thee Lemur and other bands involved with Sonic Underground.

Sonic Underground is a non-profit making (loss making, actually) project aimed at making neat stuff happen in Southampton.

A great night, "amusing" disasters included, but were not limited to, a thunderstorm begining as we were taking kit to the venue (luckily it cleared up by 6), hell (in the form of DJ satan himself), high water (in the form of flooding), nasty problems with mixing desks, unusually bad hangovers and a missing act.

Despite this, the place was packed. Malpractice showed signs of selling out - their new, popularist, sound caused less than a dozen people to leave.

I found some Photos of the gig but there was a cheap flash so they all look a bit naff. In real life we look much cooler.

Sonic Underground 3 was a success despite the whims of fate, incorrect cables lacerated hands and horrific car crashes.

Some pictures of Malpractice and Six Foot Underground are now available as is the recording of Six Foot Underground as mp3 audio.
