Immediately drafting him in to replace Malcolm Mooney, the band, oft-considered one of the single greatest outfits in western musical history went on to record a plethora of seminal LPs, including TAGO MAGO and EGE BAMYASI. Damo Suzuki's never-ending tour here stops off at Lewes Con Club, where he will perform an instant-composition set with the amazing Krautrock torch-carriers, ZOFFF. Suzuki's synthetic language creates an absolutely astonishing performance, his voice remains a beautiful philosopher's stone, the alchemical jigsaw piece of the krautrock puzzle.
