Red Hash - not to be confused with the infamous Gary Higgins story, although it could be an homage. And we all enjoy a bit of Lebanese cuisine right? Having wowed them at the open mic, these guys now step up to a First Thursday appearance. Yes we know it’s a third Thursday on this occasion!…

The Dawn Tales – “We are The Dawn Tales, and we didn’t come all the way from Japan to play it safe. We came to melt faces, break hearts, and start a beautiful kind of chaos. We’ll scream our souls out until you fall in love… and then we’ll keep going ‘til you’re begging for more. Call it madness, call it magic—we call it The Dawn Tales, and baby, you’re part of the legend now….” Got that!?
