About this Event
Glasgow-based HOWIE REEVE, armed with just a bass and his voice, celebrates the beauty and absurdity of life, and embodies the DIY scenes community spirit. Most recent album Double Rainbow is a split release with Japanese musician Kumio Kurachi, and features collaborations with Cathy Heyden and Andy Kerr (NoMeansNo, Two Pin Din). In his long and varied career, Howie has also worked with Mike Watt (Minutemen, Iggy & The Stooges), GW Sok (The Ex) and many others.
Unplugged-punk genius Howie Reeve is a linchpin in Glasgow's DIY community - a breathtaking bass player." (Nicola Meighan, The Herald)
"Howie Reeves approach is essentially one divorced from the traditions of 'making a pop record'part of a wider tradition of underground troubadours and gleemen, musical ranters and shakers, who hold audiences through their strength of character." (Richard Foster, The Quietus)

Yukiko Matsukura
Yukiko studied visual performing arts at Kyoto University of Art and Design.
She perfomed in Jean Cocteau's one woman play "Voice"as a graduation project,and composed a song for the play.
This made her realise that her future was in singing.
She began collaborating with composer,guitarist and pianist Masaru Watanabe, a member of Hachimitsu Pie-one of the pioneers in Japanese rock,which led her to produce music,and music and work as a vocalist.
Since 2018 she's been experimenting with voice-only works and accompanying herself on a guitar and piano.
Yukiko is channelling the inner impulses that bought her to sing in the first place into new vocal compositions and improvisations.
