In a month where we seem to be rediscovering that 'Britishness' might not be so bad after all, Stewart Lee is to be found examining the British roots of electronic music.
A Sound British Adventure takes us as far back as the 1940s, and whilst I had heard of Daphne Oram and her influence on contemporary experimenters such as Sonic Boom, much of this history is very new to my ears. To learn more tune in to BBC Radio 4 at 1100 on Tuesday 14 August 2012.
For fans of Rugby's finest export since rugby, Sonic Boom is playing Hackney's Shacklewell Arms on Thursday night, under the name Spectrum. It is of course sold out.
Sonic Boom- terrible :(
No even an ok version of Ateri Teenage Riot.
