Squarepusher Set to Blow Up HMS President

Acclaimed electronic experimentalist Squarepusher has announced a series of live dates in the States and the UK with two special London performances on HMS President, the ship permanently moored on the Thames.

In recent years the vessel served as a training centre for the British navy though originally operated as a 'Q Boat; a warship which was disguised as a merchant vessel and which acted as a Submarine Decoy Vessel when she accompanied convoys.'
