Event information

The False Dots – Nicely sardonic punk/post punk with flights of fancy and social comment in equal measure. Take on some nice ratty skanking that reminds a bit of Alternative TV, via Madness maybe, also a bit of head wobbling trippy jangling, all topped off with nicely pitched mockney vocalising. Will please fans of Squeeze, Half Man Half Biscuit and even Bad Manners I shouldn’t wonder! Excellent stuff.

The Shoals – talking of Bad Manners, these guys feature an ex member of said beery ska pop giants, and what’s more, talking of Madness, a certain Lee ‘Kix’ Thompson‘s lad Daley features too. Job’s a good un.

Vicious Love – taking in American style slacker indie and the punk pop angst of Sum 81 and the like, this lot certainly embrace the punk nuances from across the pond but with bits of Undertones type pop nous from closer to home. Witty and wanton with it.

The Stylus Method - Interesting blend of neo folk tinged pop, that you might call Britpop, and classic 60s/70s resonances....but this lot have, dare I say, bags of originality...so you might detect the spirit of Bowie or The Kinks they don't really sound like them. Great sophisticated sounding songs too. Lots of ideas, clever arrangements. I'm getting a bit of Al Stewart in the vocal. Good band, so nake sure you're in by 8pm to check them out.
