Pivot @ Nice 'n' Sleazy, 12 May

Pivot are another of dance label Warp's recent forays into the world of guitar noise, and it seems that this is a successful one. The Australian trio released O Soundtrack My Heart in 2008, a melding of Battles' instrumental crunch and Holy Fuck-esque grooves in a sonic whirl of frequencies and synths, and live, they are rumoured to be truly astounding. The gorgeous splatterfest of their video for In The Blood serves as a swift introduction to the band, but Pivot's return to Nice 'n' Sleazy's should be ideal for anyone eager to witness their full assault.
