On November 17th, Cotton Ferox will play in Warszawa, Poland, at the Trans-Wizje festival. Incidentally, it was on the same date 12 years ago that Cotton Ferox played live for the very first time (at Fylkingen in Stockholm). To celebrate this magical cycle, Highbrow Lowlife will re-release the first Cotton Ferox album, First Time Hurts, in the digital ether on November 21st.
Here’s some information culled from the Polish site:
Miejsce: Laboratorium CSW, ul. Jazdów 2, Warszawa
Bilety: 55 zł. (do 17 października) / 66 zł. (po 17 października)
Start: 17 listopada 2013, godzina 17.00
I also have a text in the most recent issue of the Trans-Wizje magazine, which will be launched on Sunday, about the strange relationship between human beings and dolls:
“The eerie and sometimes even terrifying encounter with glassy eyed porcelain dolls or even mute teddy bears, especially when one sees many of them at the same time, clearly distinguishes the thin line between death and magical life. By mere will, an inanimate object can go from being a scary-zombie-voodoo-horror film-nightmare item to something that is “cute”, “cuddly” and, not forgetting, “mine”. And then also integrated in harmonious playing, alone or together with friends. It’s what the human imagination invests in the object that makes it come alive.”
I hope to see you in Warszawa on Sunday!
