Crushing Death & Grief may or may not be a former late 20th century violent direct action paramilitary group from West Germany who went into hiding in the south east of England – although the wise money is on “not”. Either way, over the last 20 years they have been responsible for, in their own words “gigs in Cambridge, gigs in East Anglia. No messing.” And their list of shows looks like a complete record of all the music we’ve covered here at the Quietus after you take Erasure and OMD off the list.
Now they’ve chosen to celebrate two decades in the game by holding a multi-venue festival in Cambridge between Friday 7 and Sunday 9 November.
Edwin R Stevens and Rattle are playing at the NCI Centre on Friday night; Immersion, Cowtown and Quade head up an all-dayer at The Blue Moon on Saturday and then there’s an absolutely banging all Sunday session including Aya, Mohammad Syfkhan, Kiran Leonard, Sly & The Freaking Family Drone, Necro Deathmort and Mother Nature.
Tickets are reasonably priced and you get find out more here.
