The Hangar: Optimo + Isa Gordon/Penknife + Radhika

'The Hangar' is an evening curated by musicians Sushil K Dade (The Soup Dragons / Future Pilot AKA) & Radhika, bringing together Scotland’s alternative artistic community for a multi-arts celebration of music, art, and unexpected collaborations. Each night will feature special guests and exclusive performances that inspire and challenge the way we experience art.  

Alongside ad-hoc music from Radhika's dream pop group who celebrate the release of their debut album Cine-Pop this year.

Isa Gordon is a Glasgow-based producer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist. Isa blends ethereal electronics with raw, expressive performance. Her debut album For You Only (Optimo Music, 2022) established her as a distinctive voice, drawing from club music, folk, punk, and experimental sound design. 

“I’ll be dishing out a load of 7" treasures from the Optimo vaults - Anything goes at this one - No wave, Synth Pop, Post Punk, Rockabilly, Dancehall but most of all... oddball! Contort Yrself.” - Jonnie Wilkes (Optimo) 

As part of the evening Isa will perform a solo set alongside a performance with PENKNIFE,  a new project featuring Isa, Paul Thomson and Loris S. Sarid. Drawing a diagram between the three we find influences of Scottish trad, Ambient, Metal, Hyper - and less hyper-pop, merging into an elegant and weird extravaganza.

At the stream’s estuary we find compositions that are songs by form, yet sprinkled with gritty abstractions that feed listeners bizarre black pudding tasting cotton candy, poetic politics and contemporary folklore.
