In the wonderful, incredible world of fish, there is a wonderful, incredible space. The cleaning station. Fish of all shapes, colours, species (not sharks, they’re bastards) and sizes (well, not whales, that’s just silly. And they’re not fish) and even religions can come together in perfect harmony to clean themselves and each other, without fear of being eaten or maimed, using state-of-the-art, technology-driven cleaning products for their skin and hair. The human equivalent of that place is the Obscure Perversions event at MIR, 69 Toftes Gate, Oslo. Every month - usually around the first or second Friday of the month, although sometimes the third or the 4th. Only very occasionally the 5th, because there aren’t very many of those, as you know. But there are some. Oh yes, there are. People of all shapes, colours, species and sizes and even religions can come together in perfect harmony to clean themselves and each other, without fear of being eaten or maimed, using state-of-the-art, technology-driven cleaning products for their skin and hair. And if you are (still) reading this, that’s probably you. That’s what this night is all about: diversity: celebrating the freakish things you can do in the city, but would be hung for in the countryside: an experimental film, a comedian, some underwater soot-juggling, perhaps. More underwater stuff? Well, yes, possibly. Bring an umbrella, just in case.

Lineup:
LIVE: Orange + Blue
Melodic, electronic, krautrock post-punk: songs you can whistle AND dance to. orange + blue play a non-stop, mellifluous set, including extended, hypnotic, improvised sections.

LIVE: Hundzig
Hundzig er et nyoppstartet soloprosjekt med band som slapp første singel, Walk Straight 9. Januar. I februar slapp de EP-debuten med ytterligere tre låter. Musikken er inspirert av artister som New Order, Beach House, The Beatles og Elias Rønnenfelt.
Hundzig er rått og behagelig samtidig, med skranglete gitarer og deilige synther.
