Event Information
SAVAK
Something of an indie rock supergroup, SAVAK from New York, who take their name from the Iranian secret police, feature past and present members of The Obits, Holy Fuck, Edsel and The Cops. Their sound is brawny indie rock that leans heavily on guitars, with a melodic undertow whilst still sounding wiry on the surface.
The group was founded in 2015 by vocalist and guitarist Sohrab Habibon and so far and since then they’ve put out 6 LPs, most recently this year’s ‘Flavors of Paradise.’ If you’re into Parquet Courts and The Walkmen or remember Lotion and Jets to Brazil from the 90s, this is one for you.

THE UNIT AMA
The Unit Ama are a post-rock three piece from Newcastle who have a reputation for jaw-droppingly beautiful and intense live performances. They recently put out only their second LP in 20 years, Toward, on the Nottingham’s Gringo Records, one of the longest-running and best indie labels in the UK.
The Unit Ama make music that explodes outward: dense but soothing metronomic pulses which morph into a wild fracturing of the traditional rock trio, taking the possibilities of what can be done with guitar, bass and drums into the stratosphere. Whereas others seek to push the limits of rock music by intense complication and trickery, the Unit Ama’s approach is natural and human.
