Let's Wrestle

Event information

LET’S WRESTLE
With their witty, wonkily related tales of teenage ennui, thwarted romance and wise-beyond-their-years world weariness, raucous young London trio Let’s Wrestle traffic in the kind of rambunctious, infectious, gloriously untethered indie rock which calls to mind slacker forefathers such as Pavement, Dinosaur Jr and Built to Spill, sending an instant shot of addictive melody straight into your serotonin while also lodging in your cerebral cortex with frontman Wesley Patrick Gonzalez’s pithy way with a lyric. Last year they followed their already classic debut album 'In the Court of the Wrestling Let’s' with the Steve Albini-produced 'Nursing Home' to rapturous applause.
“Urban Learesque pop-punk ecstasies that hook cheekily onto the frayed coat-tails of Barrett, Buzzcocks and Neutral Milk Hotel” (Mojo)

MILKY WIMPSHAKE
A potent mixture of fizzing pop tunes, punk attitude and protest folk have made Newcastle’s anarchist indiepoppers Milky Wimpshake one of the UK’s best loved indiepop bands. They’ve released numerous singles and compilation tracks on assorted indie labels, along with three albums, and as überlord of the Slampt label Pete was responsible for launching a hundred fanzines and as many bands, The Yummy Fur and Kenickie included. In the last couple of years the band have played knockout sets at both Indietracks Festival and London Popfest on the back of their last album My Funny Social Crime on Fortuna POP!
“Their safety-pin-in-my-heart pop-punk style is the direct descendent of Buzzcocks, Undertones and the like.” (Drowned In Sound)

OMI PALONE
There will always be a place in music for bands like Omi Palone. It's an oddly distant part of modern music, but theirs is the poignant simplicity of four guys hanging out, forming a band and doing their best to get their songs heard. It's this element of endearing honesty that makes them, in their Jonathan Richman/Calvin Johnson/Eugene Kelly inspired world, just that little bit more loveable. It's been a while, lo-fi indie. It's been a while...
“Lovely indie garage rock music… the retro vibe and lo-fi sound, but without all the pretentious sycophantic bollocks. A fine example to a lot of bands of how to get the most out of fuzzy guitar pedals.” (AppleJuice)
