Er..That tape was a joke they did when they were all 15 years old, besides Siouxsie and Sid vicious also dabbled with swastika shock tactics, strange you take it so seriously at a festival that’s meant to be renowned for putting on subversive artists…Also William Bennett was in Consumer Electronics on that comp and he’s already played Supersonic as cut hands not to mention Stephen O’ Malley who has played time and time again did a lot of design work for Burzum…So I’d relax! 🙂

  61. Bizarre Politics /

    I’m still dreaming of the day you lovely folks at Capsule will book some proper power electronics bands one day. I reckon if I could see The Grey Wolves, Genocide Organ, Survival Unit, Con-Dom, Iron Fist Of The Sun, IRM, Anenzephalia, Content Nullity and/or Green Army Fraction at Supersonic I could probably die a happy man. And how about Death In June, Sol Invictus and/or Andrew King whilst we’re at it! If you’re worried that those bands will scare away certain punters then I’d be just as content to see some coldwave/synth bands in the vein of Xeno & Oaklander, Iron Curtain, Martial Canterel, Berndsen, etc. Otherwise I’ll just throw some obscure artists your way and hope for the best.
