Casiotone For The Painfully Alone @ Nice 'n' Sleazy, 21 Apr

To welcome the release of his upcoming album, entitled Vs. Children, Owen Ashworth, aka Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, will be taking his synths, sadness, and a few helping hands for good measure to Sleazy's ever-welcoming basement for what is sure to be a stirring and intimate affair. Starting off in '97 after playing around with his brother's keyboard, Ashworth has released five albums under the Casiotone moniker along with a wealth of singles/splits, some of which are featured in the recently released compilation Advanced Battery Life. Fittingly, said brother Gordon's drone project Concern will feature as main support.
