Tatsuya Yoshida is one of the most innovative drummer/composer/improvisors in the Japanese avant garde, pushing a unique brand of high energy music that is a mixture of contemporary composition, hardcore and Prog rock.

Best known for fronting the drums and bass duo Ruins, Yoshida has led many other groups and collaborated with John Zorn, Fred Frith, Derek Bailey, Keiji Haino, Otomo Yoshihide, Acid Mothers Temple and many more members of music's experimental jet set.

Over the weekend of 8 & 9 August, Yoshida takes up a two day residency at Cafe Oto in East London, where he will be playing solo (drums, vocal, electronics) as Ruins - Alone, and collaborating with various special guests drawn from the UK underground.

Tickets for each night normally cost £8, or £14 for a two day pass.
