The intimate and unassuming Dome in Tufnell Park is once again set to host Raw Power Festival; an event during which the expansive and experimental bands that lie within transform this small London venue into a conduit for the world of avant-garde music. From the 27th-29th May; Baba Yaga’s Hut will curate a festival that boasts a Rube Goldberg Techno Machine, the first UK show in twenty years from industrial legends Test Dept. (a band known for trading in instruments for factory scrap metal and machinery) and more art noise bands than can be found within Brian Eno’s reasonably-priced shed.
But as with Raw Power’s spiritual cousin, Birmingham’s Supersonic Festival, the festival is less about the bands you know and more about your new favourite band you’ve never heard of. Sporting the biggest bill they’ve had yet, and an expansion into the Boston Arms pub, it’s hard to recommend missing any bands…so instead here’s a selection of bands you should be getting excited for in an adventurous festival for adventurous people.
