Healthy Junkies + Neovenator + Gripper Lee + DJ Tony Bugbear (Matinee Show) + The Fraud Squad + Double Mirror + James Theodore (Evening)

Healthy Junkies – they’ve been around a few years now but these thermonuclear powered grunge punk alterno dynamos just go from strength to strength. Always a totally committed performance that leaves your ears throbbing, your head spinning and your mind fully saturated with punk rock joy. Excellent band. Neovenator – the best band named after a dinosaur since Bolan boogied, these guys seem to be a semblance of The Who in conflagration with The Stranglers, playing Blur like songs in the style of The Subhumans. Ok nothing like that. Very good tho. Gripper Lee – post punk and Goff flavours with a powerhouse delivery. Named of course after the blind one from Peters and Lee who was also the only sightless wrestler to kick Big Daddy’s ass on World of Sport back in the day. Tony Buggerbear supplied the hot nuggets in between sets. Evening Show ticketed separately HERE https://wegottickets.com/f/31488 The Fraud Squad – playing a pumped and pimped party songs parade of goodness, from Motown to classic New Wave, indie bangers and sixties twangers, glam stompers and rocknroll belters- it’s all here. A fabulous way to finish your weekend from this superb ‘mature’ covers band Double Mirror – soulful rock pop with commanding vocals and a commercial pop sheen. Thursk – experimentally inclined art rock that still manages to really connect with the listener, what with the very rhythmic sway and the accessibley groovy  riffage. Great stuff.  Elements of Slint and Sonic Youth perhaps. James Theodore  – originally from Liverpool, albeit via NYC, Lennon vibes?! Maybe! James played gigs with the strokes/kings of leon/the coral back in the day..then went solo before returning to the uk and is releasing an album on Nov 11 as it happens, showcase d for you lucky people tonight.
