Event information

Cult Figures - West Midlands artpop (in the best possible way) and post punk satirists come janglesome ramalama fiends, who came up in the wake of Swell Maps back in the as they say day, care of the very beautiful 'Zip Nolan' 45...more followed, and then the Cult Figures seemingly sank outta sight...only to beatifically bounce back some thirty odd years later. Ace! After a series of superb E.Ps and a lovely 40 years in the making debut album, the band produced a fabulous second album of new, witty, woebegone songs, 'Deritend'. Brilliant stuff, every one a winner, although sadly ill health and the inevitable Covid crisis put paid to it maybe getting the attention it deserved. Well they're back, slightly retooled- just in time for WW3!

Kape Kanaveral - Infectiously catchy indie equally informed by the proto-punk, early Talking heads and UK Post punk... early XTC maybe...a sassy and creative force putting much Special K into their rocketry.

Wicked Splinters - spectral indie/psych folk - interesting for sure. Quite oblique and unyielding, and happily situated with in the ranks of the awkward squad...but that's good!..a bit of Syd Barrett/early Floyd for sure

Vibrogette - the riffs are classic sloping post punk stylee with side orders of grunge...a nice sassy sound tho with louche female vocal... ...they say it best... "Vibrogette is a North London Garage Rock band formed in 2019. Vibrogette is what happens when Punk Rockers from various scenes get together and start playing"
