Test Dept Play New Cross

Racket imminent in SW London

The industrial pioneers Test Dept have announced another London show, a follow-up to their well-received performance at Raw Power in May.

The gig will take place in New Cross, where the band formed in 1981, on 10th September. After several commissioned works for Newcastle’s AV Festival, the self-proclaimed “utilisers and recyclers of society’s debris” put together a new live line-up as Test Dept: Redux, in order to play their first UK shows in 20 years.

The line-up consists of original members Gray Cunnington and Paul Jamrozy who are joined by Zel Kaute and Charles Poulet. Also on the bill are London EBM duo Feral Five and DJs including Test Dept and Elena Colombi of NTS Radio. You can buy tickets here.
