Event information
The Salads
Three of the band members grew up in the punk era; rhythm guitarist Chris had his first successful punk band “The Filth” back in 1978 – they were played on John Peel’s radio show. The Salads have also had two great gigs with Captain Sensible from The Damned. The punk music scene has had a big revival in the last few years and The Salads are glad to be a part of it all.
The Model Workers
Formed out of the ruins of numerous failed political and social policies, The Model Workers is a powerful three piece punk band who are not afraid to shine a light onto the dingy corners of politics and the personal.
A catchy blend of edgy, profound and poetic songs, The Model Workers sounds like Stiff Little Fingers took Fugazi outside for a fight. With gritty riffs, venomous vocals and a super-tight back beat The Model Workers bring an angst-ridden energy to all their gigs that could power a small city. Ian provides lead vocals and guitar, Darren the bass and backing vocals, and Chris the drums and BVs. They’re purveyors of their very own sub genre, Disaster Punk! “You have been warned…”
