Earworm melodies, punk energy and witty passionate stories of working class life.
"That is what, I do believe, you call a pop tune" MARC RILEY, BBC 6 MUSIC

London Callin' Records recently published a tome to commemorate the much-missed 12 Bar Club and are also releasing twelve 7 inch vinyl EPs. The next (ninth) in the series celebrates the Blang nights we put on there for ten years. The mustard coloured record features four acts who regularly played there, namely David Cronenberg's Wife, Sergeant Buzfuz, The Awkward Silences and Slate Islands. Tonight's show features whole band and solo versions of those acts. You can pre-order the mustard coloured Blang EP and the book here:
