Event information

anarchistwood - taking inspiration from Detroit '60s, '70s proto punk (indeed have been known to play a Destroy All Monsters number) as much as the Pistols packin' '76 SEX scene and post Crass '80s Anarcho satire... Frank Cutter and crew know how to enrich the audience with fabulous, head turning, transgressive punk rock, and play it with a supercool ease.

Punkish pranksterism never got so sassy. Effortlessly brilliant, massively entertaining. Their uber neato version of 'White Punks On Dope' ('Black Punks On Speed'! hollers bassist Mitch!) is a wonderful inclusion in recent sets too.

The Blunders - Moonrakers with a side line in howling at the bastard too! Politically charged, attitude to the fore, telling us what for with a semi narrated not exactly rap but kinda delivery and some insistent punky but tight and disciplined grooves... like a deconstructed Gang Of 4 meets Alabama 3 on Dexys..

.Motorhead certainly reverberate a lot here, as do Killing Joke, Ministry and Hawkwind. Unfortunately Dermot O'Leary no longers lives behind the Dublin, so if they play it tonight he won't catch their er...'tribute', haha.

Bug Central - Bug Central are a punk band from London, England formed in 1996 and still playing with the original line up of Noodles Romanov (guitar / vocals), Ben Blasphemy (bass) and d. rummer, ex of early 80's band The X-Cretas, on drums. Fierce and rumbling proper PROPER punk.

DJ Fuzz- will keep the buzz abuzz will DJ Fuzz.
