Shinlifter + The Chunks

Event information

August's Fuzz Bat show sees a return to Cowgate and Sneaky Pete's for a fantastic double bill of Shuffly moon rock spider jams from Shinlifter and Sophisti Skronk/Fuzzy Indie Rock from The Chunks. The bands will be playing a handful of shows together that week as part of a Summer tour.

Running order will be announced on the day of the gig.

Shinlifter were formed in late 2023 in Edinburgh, Scotland, by immigrant settlers from England, Ireland and Bathgate. They are the world’s first budgetgroup (like a supergroup but cheaper and held together with duct tape) because they’ve all played in other bands (Nice Church, Unwave, Those Unfortunates) and vocalist Olivia Furey’s set at Tectonics Festival has been on BBC Radio 3 once (her performance has been described by musicologist, Adrian Habgood Rose, as "excrement in sound form").

Their debut double A-side, Percolator/Nandos (out now on PX4M), highlights the band’s strengths: hypnotic drumming bolted to vocalist Furey's stream-of-consciousness collages of mundanity and guitar freak-outs.

The Chunks rotate somewhere between pop sludge, dungeon prog and straight up super hero indie rock. The quartet employ rolling, off kilter drumming matched to barely-contained bass hijinx, wandering occasionally detuned guitar chops, cryptic yet intimate vocal stylings and synths flamboyant enough to make Gary Numan blush.

Digital Dust is the fourth album and second released on local tape label Fuzzbat Records from the Chunks, showcasing their most powerful form yet.
