Unknown Pleasures + (Joy Division Tribute) + Forget The Down + Hybrid Kid

Unknown Pleasures- These guys and their primal, punky, poised and perky take on the incredible Joy Division canon have been doing the rounds as long as Bugbear…we’re a match made in heaven, haha.  Always an ace night out…yes ‘Ian Curtis’ has adapted the trademark moves a tad since he ahem died and maybe slightly more padded than you recall, and Peter Hook seems to have transmogrified into a goff Yul Bryner etc etc but don’t watch that….a brilliant and lovestruck tribute to adore. Forget The Down– feisty alt rock with a baggy swagger but a hard rocking riff monster edge. Dynamic Stuff.  Manics thru Foo Fighters and something of second LP Stone Roses too. Hybrid Kid – breezy indie pop with a pastoral feel at times influenced by Brit pop but clearly the more cerebral understated bands like The Bluetones, with an undercurrent of Americana, Cracker for example, highly accomplished stuff.
