Truck Festival Warm-Up Party & BBQ

Event information

Celebrating our long relationship with the best small festie in the land, we've organised another of our annual warm-up bashes with a great line-up from both sides of the Atlantic and the famous Windmill BBQ on hand to offer some munchies before the bands kick off...

GOLDRUSH (Oxford)
Truck Festival founders, Goldrush nowadays spend more of their time in LA where their fine US label Better Looking Records is based. Firm faves among Windmill regulars, their rousing bittersweet rustic indie will round up this party with a bang.

THOMAS TRUAX (Brooklyn, NY)
...builds his own kooky instruments and travels all over the place playing original songs on them, and on a resonator guitar, backed by his mechanical drummer Sister Spinster.
...not of this earth...I still can't think of a single show I've seen that was as beguiling or as charming or as plain bananas as this one. - gigwise.com

PINEY GIR'S COUNTRY ROADSHOW (London)
One of the busiest ladies on the showbiz underground, Piney shows the country/big band side of her character tonight as opposed to the equally beguiling electronic-indie stuff she also performs. She's also worked with the likes of The Broken Family Band and The Research which kind of indicate the wonderful musical ballpark that she's coming from.

Y (Los Angeles, CA)
Folkie shoegaze from this Joseph Arthur collaborator. Think Will Oldham stumbling into a My Bloody Valentine jam or maybe actually vice-versa in the early hours of an Santa Monica morn.

SHIMURA CURVES (south London)
Three lady choristers, an electric guitar and a Mac making fun sounds for the summer. Leftfield pop that puts a big smile on your face.

Quality Americana from these Truck Festival regulars and touring buddies of Goldrush.
