CUT HANDS (UK) Westbahnstudios, 27 Sep 24

• a project founded in 2007 heavily inspired by William Bennett's fascination for Haitian vaudou, deploying percussion in radical new ways, generating an intense sound unrivalled in its physical and emotional intensity
• in 2002, being inspired by Haitian vaudou musicians’ capacity to make intensely powerful music with almost no technology, William Bennett first employed djembes and doundouns on the classic Wriggle Like A Fucking Eel 12” by Whitehouse, in what was seen as a radical musical direction by many in the wider noise/industrial scene
• the name was derived from the song Cut Hands Has The Solution by his original Whitehouse project
