FK Alexander and two Scottish Hardcore bands meet in Glasgow’s Queen Margret Union to duke it out in a heavy metal technology demolition sound clash death match over 3 hours, where pointless resentment, pink smoke and the faces of your favourite rock stars ’n' rapists fill the air!!!

waste as a way of celebrating regret

Drilling down and out
Beginning its thinking with the 30 year old essay 'The Problem With Music' by record producer Steve Albini, this work is upset by the industrial disintegration of a disintegrating industry, The History Of Rock (tm) and the systems and stories it has sold. Crossing this reference with Mathew Barney's 'The Order' and situating it all in the artistic market place in 2023, FK is tasked with an existential end-game, destined to lose but compelled to play.
CDs, TVS, computers, trophies, pristine music encyclopaedias and more will meet the guillotine, the hammer or the wall, while old school death metal serenades.
