?THE GRUESOMES?
Canada’s ?? Legendary Garage Band play their 1st and only UK show at Weirdsville.
Formed in 1985 they soon
established themselves as pioneers and pacesetters in the genre.
With zero musical experience,
they had something even better: a keen sense of how a band should look and sound gained from hours thumbing through the stacks in record stores looking for obscure songs of the 60s, and especially the hidden gems from the original
garage music explosion of 1966 (‘The Summer of Hate’).

The band had a fun and irreverent attitude and an attention to detail in look and
sound that would pay off by setting them apart from their 1980's contemporaries,
bands that could play well enough but had no style, no stagecraft. The band
quickly developed a large following in Montreal, delighting fans as much with
their hard-driving garage tunes and their authentic 60's look as with their witty stage banter and kooky antics!

The present...
The Gruesomes continue to play at the world’s top garage festivals, including Spain’s Funtastic Dracula Carnival in 2017, Wild-O'-Fest in Mexico City in 2018, the Spider Monkey Festival in San José, Costa Rica in 2019 followed by a tour of Spain including the Wachina Wachina festival in Valencia.

In 2021 the Gruesomes filmed a half hour TV special The Gruesomes Live
on Le Beat featuring the bands favourite songs all played live and captured on film!

So stay hip to the flip of the trip, because The Gruesomes are coming!

?THE JACK CADES?
Formed in 2017 when Mike (Thee Vicars, The Baron Four) & Elsa (The Missing Souls) decided to write a mini LP "Music For Children" (Dirty Water Records) and record some songs with Mole (The Embrooks) at his studio North Down Sound in Kent UK.
Alexandra (Speedball Jr) joined the party later and they then recorded their first single together "Run Paulie Run/And Pretend" (Dangerhouse Skylab) , followed by their second album "Perfect View" (Beluga Records).
All 4 have a passion for 60s Garage Rock, but also all have wider influences, which we can clearly hear in their sound. They are somewhere in between the mid 1960s american Garage Rock scene, The Velvet Underground & The Stone Roses.
Their latest release is their EP "Infectious Covers" on the new French label Rogue Records.
