Saturday Mayhem 17 9PM-3AM
Sluggo, Nancy Reagan, Mickey Slim

The cut-up technique, in which text or a recorded work is cut up and then re-arranged to create a new work has its roots in Dadaism, but was popularised by William S. Burroughs after being "rediscovered" by Brion Gysin in the 1950s. In this special we will explore the works of both Gysin and Burroughs.
