How much bang can you get for five bucks? A colossal wave of feathers, jewels, leathers and fur; a nerve-rattling audio explosion of kazoos, melodicas, vacuums and strings; a few hot minutes rolling around in warm mud with a stranger; a hypnotic, harmonious gathering of friends and lovers, performers and punters; foxy women boasting retina-singeing pink tights; chesty men wearing y-fronts and nothing else; Love is Science Fiction, Ships Piano, The Strange Attractions and a microphone - all of the above, on stage, every Wednesday night at The Tote.

Telepathetic are new around here and would appreciate it if you heckle supportive ‘wooots' while they make their debut.
