The embodiment of gleeful chaos energy in the shape of a deranged bunny, MyxiBun cavorted on stage and into our hearts, mostly through our chest cavities. FLESH RITUALS & SIREN SONGS IV @australianschoolofsexuality ASSFEST S25 Photo: @bonniequeans.com Full thesoftmachineproductions.substack.com

Cheap Coffins took the stage with a new setup and a wildly overdriven sound, roaring through and shaking the underbelly of our vessels and venue... In this divine distortion all was made anew, strange artifacts unearthed and brought into screaming focus; a tortured vision of a deep underworld.
