Lou Reed's Metal Machine Trio will be appearing at Ether 2010 when they perform what is described as "A Night of Deep Noise".

Featuring Lou Reed (processed & unprocessed guitars & mini continuum), Ulrich Krieger (tenor sax & live-electronics), and Sarth Calhoun (live processing & continuum fingerboard), the Metal Machine Trio concert, although influenced and inspired by Reed's seminal 1975 album 'Metal Machine Music', won't duplicate the original album, but will instead opt for entirely new unique music, noise and soundscapes.

Lou Reed's Metal Machine Trio will be appearing at the Royal Festival Hall on Monday 19th April.

Now in its seventh year, Ether returns over the provisional dates of Thursday 8th until Saturday 24th April at London's Southbank Centre.

Apart from the self confirmed Lou Reed's Metal Machine Trio there are no other acts confirmed yet for 2010.

Tickets for Lou Reed at Ether will go on sale at 9am this Friday, 29th January, and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.
