KLAMP
plus special guests Parastatic
at the Lubber Fiend
• KLAMP • (Human Worth Records)
KLAMP is a formidable musical collective with members scattered across the UK and the Netherlands. This group, now comprising seven members, has its roots in a trio that expanded over the past four years. The current lineup includes both current and former members of notable bands such as IDLES, Sex Swing, Tall Ships, Manatees, Do Me Bad Things, Pulled Apart By Horses, Petbrick and Mugstar. This diverse musical heritage infuses KLAMP’s sound with a rich mix of influences and sounds.
Since their raw and antagonistic 2020 release “Hate You” on God Unknown, KLAMP has undergone a significant transformation. The 2025 incarnation of the band presents a vastly evolved force. Their latest album, “TOTAAL TECHNIEK,” released on Human Worth, is a testament to their artistic growth and exploration. The album traverses a broad range of genres, seamlessly blending elements of Krautrock, Breakcore, Industrial, and Post Punk. Each track is a new journey, characterized by an innovative sound and intricate musical textures.
A key aspect of KLAMP’s evolution has been their ever-expanding roster of collaborators. The original line-up of Jason Stoll (Sex Swing / Mugstar / JAAW), Lee Vincent (Pulled Apart by Horses) and Greg Wynne (Manatees) have been joined by Adam Devonshire (IDLES), Matthew Parker (Tall Ships), Rachael Morrison and Wayne Adams (Petbrick / Big Lad) along with other collaborators, helping to develop the sound into a new space both beautiful and bleak, harsh and euphoric – sometimes all at once. This openness to collaboration has infused their music with fresh ideas and new energy, ensuring that no two performances or recordings are ever the same. Their live shows are particularly notable for their intensity and unpredictability, offering audiences a mind-bending lesson in musical exploration and emotional depth.
Brighton based charitable label Human Worth have pressed up a limited edition of ‘TOTAAL GOLD’ vinyl, with a limited with 10% of all proceeds donated to Compass Collective – a charity supporting the integration of young refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK through the arts.

• Parastatic •
Parastatic keep one foot in the dreamy end of shoegaze while also letting loose with their love of the danceability of the repetitive beats borne out of the German experimental scene in the 1970’s. They’re coming back from a break with their third album finally in the bag and raring to go.
Over the years Parastatic have played across the country alongside some of their favourite artists like Damo Suzuki, Moon Duo, Public Service Broadcasting, Teeth of the Sea, Julie’s Haircut and Warm Digits.
