LOOSE CANON

About Me

Loose Canon founded the Akoustik Anarkhy night & label back in 1999 and we've been making music together through various line ups since 2000. Veering in sound over the years from pistoled up Dylan to drum machined pop and now, so says our number one fan Soft Priest, avant rock.Highlights along the way have included headlining to a packed Nouveau Casio crowd in Paris during Autumn 2004 & releasing 4 seminal 7'' singles since 2002 - Out To Lunch/This American Kid (Summer 02), What Comes Next/Take These Eyes (Summer 04), Cruising on the 86/Test 165 (Spring 05), Altercation/This Empire Weve Created (Summer 05).
