Umberto / Hausfrau / Leaf Wrist @ Kinning Park Complex, 30 March

Opening proceedings, Leaf Wrist plays a hypnotic performance of experimental electronics, running the gamut from dusted, dub-influenced loops to something approaching techno, but constructed from sampled and treated birdsong. Never lurching quite into the realms of structured, easily classifiable beats, but rather allowing rivulets of machine noise, sampled organic sounds and improvised abstraction to run from his fingertips and out across the audience's brain-space, it's a convincing set that promises interesting material in the future.

Hausfrau, a duo composed of members from Organs of Love and Aggi Doom, play some gothic, minimal synth covers of a selection of obscure and less obscure pop hits, leading off with a spellbinding version of Leonard Cohen's I'm Your Man. Slightly less successful is a subdued Nutbush City Limits. But in the main, their appeal lies in the fragile, mournful singing of Aggi Doom's Claudia Nova, who drawls in a black lace dress like a latter-day Piaf, and the deceptively simple synth arrangements concocted by Organs of Love's James T. Wilson who with his grey-streaked beard resembles a 70s Orson Welles.

By the time Umberto takes the stage, we're all ready for some dancing, and he delivers in spades. Tracks from Night Has A Thousand Screams are reconfigured as techno with sweeping synth breakdowns and melodic spines heavily indebted to his beloved giallo score composers. Through a fug of dry ice, flickering black and white images from classic horror films are screened on the rear wall, but rather than delivering a cinematic, downtempo set, Umberto sticks close to a four-to-the-floor beat throughout. It's a fascinating, crowd-pleasing take on his album, and thoroughly accomplished, although a bit less of the dry ice would have been nice.
