Event information

Joe Strummer Night + Take The 5th (Clash Tribute) + 2 Sick Monkeys + Dub Jam Force
TAKE THE 5TH
In case you wondered, TAKE THE 5TH take their name from the title given by The Clash to their 2nd US tour of 1979. What you get are 30 or so songs written by The Clash, performed with power, conviction and accuracy. There is no attempt to impersonate, what would be the point of that? The Clash did it right first time.... having said that their music deserves to be heard live and loud, any day, every town. Take The 5th have been gigging for over 7 years, but first and foremost they are Clash fans. The blend of rock and reggae recaptures the unique mood of the most vibrant of times.

2 SICK MONKEYS
2 Sick Monkeys formed in December 2000, as a live two piece bass and drums, primarily to support Darrin Mooney (Primal Scream) at a drum event in Swindon.
They have now played over 320 gigs (180 in the last 2 years) including 3 European tours.

They have built up a strong live following and have supported bands such as Anti-Nowhere League, Discharge, The Buzzcocks, Goldblade, 999, Citizen Fish, Inner Terrestrials, Targetpoint, Captain Everything, The Vibrators, Sonic Boom Six, The Fight and Lord Bishop Rocks.
