Event information

The False Dots – 45 years of The False Dots! What a ting! Celebrating their 4½ decades of super ska tinged irreverent punky pop by playing some….super ska tinged irreverent punky pop. Yay!

SOFT – punk stylings with a good dose of sleaze and wiggly lead. Unabashedly generic and cool for it- sort of The Godfathers, Pistols, Dictators, but they also breakdown into some Asiatic scales based psych with groovy keys (I Don’t Know What I Do This For)… good stuff SOFT Lads.

In Between Honey – Rather lovely blend of honeyed dreamo pop and shugaze indie…chiming wall of sound guitars and a clear as a bell clarion call vocal…Great sense of melody, lots of edge, insistent delivery, a psychedelic undercurrent. Very good. Great songs lik ‘Sunny Banus‘ and ‘Ludlow Street‘ sound like hits to me. From Eire with love.

The Metropolitan Elite - Jamie Whelligan is a singer songer with a nice pastoral psychedelic pop feel... Julian Cope and Syd Barrett both resonate but also Tim Finn and Ian McNabb and a lot of George Harrison in there esp the voice... but he also fronts The Metropolitan Elite, who involve a little OMD shaped tech in their pop cosmiche.
