/Work! (To Live) 11 – Electronic Body Music – Attrition Live
Dancing and Laughing presents:
Work! (To Live), a specialist night of electronic body music.
Attrition
“Picking fruit, from forbidden trees…”
ATTRITION are pioneers in what became known as darkwave…Carving out a unique slice of the creative underground for over two decades, fueled by a succession of critically acclaimed albums…selling over 50,000 to date…the band has toured all Europe and North America, Mexico and Asia, appeared at major festivals and had their music included on a number of film soundtracks….
Formed in 1980 by Martin Bowes and Julia Waller in Coventry, England, influenced by a mix of punk ideology and experimental art aesthetics, they emerged as part of the early ’80’s UK Industrial scene alongside contemporaries Test Department, Coil, Legendary Pink dots, In The Nursery, Portion Control et al.
Their music is an undefinable marriage of dark and light…of futures and pasts…probing unexplored sonic landscapes with an eclectic marriage of experimental and traditional sound, of electronics and acoustics, of male and female….what became known as darkwave.

DJ’s:
Nathan Nothing (Dancing and Laughing)
Terminates Here (Tragedy For Us)
Plus special guest DJ PANIC (Pure Industrial)
£7 on the door or £6 in advance (PayPal.Me/nathannothing).
Capacity limited to 60 people.
We will be laying it on thick with those taut bass lines, pounding drums and commanding vocals. Feel the beat and work your body hard!
There will also be some minimal wave and synthpop, plus the occasional industrial track. There will be 80’s classics and 2000’s revival bands, and very little from the decade in between. There will none of that other “EBM” music, just this type.
During the lockdown, Dancing and Laughing DJ Nathan Nothing put on four editions of an online DJing show devoted to EBM, cunningly titled Work! (From Home). In March 2022 this finally came to the real world and many people enjoyed it well, with much hard work taking place on the dance floor. Since then, this night has taken place every four months.
Work to live, don’t live to work!
