Monsieur Buckdharma du label DPP m'a demandé de faire suivre ce mail d'un artiste noise argentin qui cherche un endroit où jouer en France le 8 novembre:
I'm Alan Courtis (of Reynols) a noise artist
from Argentina. Well I'm contacting because I'll be touring
solo inFrance by early november and I'm still
trying to book a gig for November 8th in France or around...
I'm basically doing a solo set with guitar, toba violin,
pocket theremin, tapes and some no-instruments. the music
goes from noise to experimental....
obviosly can share the gig with local bands any style...
Small venues (including squats with) with door money is ok
for me. I only would need a place to sleep that night. I'm
bringing my own sleeping bag anyway...
So please please let me know if you would have any interest.
ok?
thanks for your time and keep the good work!
all the best
Alan Courtis
PS. below enclosing a biography just in case, I can send you
photos and a text explaining the workshop if you want...
