White Heat Presents: Ex-Test-Icicle Rory Brattwell's Kasms - Madame Jojo's, London

London, UK (Top40 Charts/ White Heat) - White Heat continues their tradition of presenting bands that have members that've been in other bands that have played for White Heat...

Ex-Test-Icicle Rory Brattwell's doom-children Kasms make a noise like Sonic Youth and X-Ray Spex being squashed into a washing machine and thrown down a flight of stairs, their female-fronted shriekbeat likely to obliterate your eardrums and shatter your bones.

With voodoo stomp, screeching guitars, surreal blues and vocalist Rachel Callaghan's spooked, shuddering howling and wailing, expect a full complement of show stopping punk goth anthems.

'Kasms are thoroughly entertaining even on a bit of an off day' - Artrocker

With Luke (ex-Twisted Charm) DJing early and White Heat DJs Matty & Olly playing electro and indie till late.
