Steely Dan are beloved for being a rock band that is the antithesis of what a rock band should supposedly be. Forgoing the usual path of endless touring and explosive live performance, the core duo of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker focussed their energies in the studio. Over the years, they headhunted a rotating cast of incredible session musicians to execute their lofty and intricate musical projects, indebted to jazz as much as it was to the traditional rock canon. The music soundtracked Fagen's tales of modern malaise, laced with arch humour - a key facet of their now cult status.

Settle in for two hours of Steely Dan.

Consisting of the core creative duo of John Balance (formerly of Psychic TV) and Peter Christopherson (formerly of Throbbing Gristle), Coil emerged into the post-industrial era with a hunger for experimentation that was uncompromising and unparalleled. It led to a heaving discography covering ambient, neo folk, goth rock, and any strain of experimental music you could imagine. Their often otherworldly and beautiful creations explored fitting themes of the occult, dreams, drugs & sexuality. 

This In Focus is a two hour trip through the experimental universe of Coil.
