Supersonic Festival 2009 is just weeks away but that isn’t stopping them announcing more acts which includes the news that SUNN O))) will be playing this year’s festival in Birmingham and is the first SUNN O))) performance in the UK since the release of Monoliths and Dimensions and the ONLY European performance this summer.

SUNN O))) will be playing material from GrimmRobe demos exclusively. Expect pure, raw, uninhibited invocations featuring O)))’s core members: Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson and accompanied by 2 Les Paul guitars, 4 Sunn fullstacks and 4 Ampeg bass stacks. No guests, no vocals, no keyboards.

Since 1999 Capsule has been instrumental in the transformation of Birmingham, Britain’s Second City, from a cultural backwater to one of the most important ports-of-call on the international experimental music circuit. Champions of all things across the avant-garde spectrum, Capsule are curators, promoters and fans of the finest music, revealing the otherwise indescribable connections between contemporary music and art, crafting extraordinary events for adventurous audiences.

Now in it’s 7th year, the event will once again take place at the Custard Factory utilising the many rooms for music, art and film, including performances from GOBLIN, Corrupted, HEAD OF DAVID, Thorr’s Hammer, Zu and more!
