It's been quite a tenth anniversary year for Bad Timing and thanks again to everyone who has been involved in any way: playing, attending, collaborating with us, helping out, venue-building ... and making this year more about future plans and new directions than retrospectives and archives.

Following on from 2011's activities we already have many plans for gigs and special events for 2012, most of which we can't talk about yet, but there a few gigs almost confirmed for February and March which will be announced shortly.

Currently confirmed:
12/2/12: Upset The Rhythm: Kingdom Tour: Peepholes + Way Through + Gentle Friendly @ The Portland
6/3/12: Three Trapped Tigers + Teeth Of The Sea + Canaveral @ The Portland
Tickets on sale soon.

Probably best known for their work as The Skaters, Californians James Ferraro and Monopoly Child Star Searchers (aka Spencer Clark) make rad lo-fi handbuilt from heaped up beach-trash and 80s pop and pop culture debris. Kind of like a neverending ritual soundtrack to a mutant tropical resort with disorientating ambience irradiating from broken machines across handmade rhythms, the sound may be made out of the past but never sounds anything but of the present, or the future. Featuring centrally in The Wire's controversial genre-inventing article on 'hypnagogic pop' last year, their music does have a unique feeling of being halfdream re-living of past music, yet without nostalgia or novelty.
With live shows reknowned for their intensity and random energy, this is not to be missed.

chora
(chironex)

Organic drone and free improv multi-instrumental/DIY junk noise collective drawing on diverse influences, including gamelan and free jazz, and have been described as creating a sound in the same trance-inducing space as Vibracathedral Orchestra or Ashtray Navigations. Recently relocating from London to Sheffield their collaborators include Part Wild Horses Mane on Both Sides and The Hunter Gracchus.
