GUTTERSNIPE + YEAH YOU + ASTORIA

No Longer Available

Two of the most exciting new acts to emerge from the UK underground (in our humble opinion) fire up for this exciting double headliner. Both were due to support Islam Chipsy & EEK before their visas we're unfortunately turned down.

Support comes from the all new Astoria

Come join us for some good, cheap and weird fun.

YEAH YOU

To you YEAH YOU are to you a father daughter duo who let music invade the family context. Who let music dismantle the family car, using construct absurdity to redeem resented weekly Tesco shops and traffic jams. YEAH YOU are not who you said we are, but we are that inverted, and battery op. The content shifts depending on how many supermarket discounts we found. Known for their sneak-up picnic public invasions, perform mostly when uninvited but will always jump on chance to berate a strobe-cut stage, brawling electronic dirt pop, words and feet exert integral (instagram) distrust: you won’t hear what you see.

Why who? They only ever wanted to take back their solidarity with inertia. Creeping up behind a ‘don’t bite the hand that feeds you’ cultural climate, striving to unbuckle the gift economy. You let the lesson be yearn inappropriately. Warped into identity politics this could be an anti-formulaic deconstruction of the nuclear family and of psychic uniform, which normative roles serve to sustain. But in itself is just an improv life stream of the bottom 40: from 0 to -40. Diving in with an admittedly involuntary entropic approach, they provide something for all the family to enjoy/not enjoy.

Guttersnipe

Guttersnipe are one of those bands that sound like they must have half a dozen members from the pure ecstasy of raucousness they emit, when they are in fact a duo. Itís the sound of a guitar played with a whole junkyard of scrap metal thrown at it and drums assaulted with telegraph poles, the vocals those of someone trying to escape the resultant carnage.

“Queer absurdist no wave noise rock abstract freak out. This is hard bop right here!” – Maximumrocknroll

Astoria

Those with vertigo sent to a roof will never cope. Over the course of the 14 floored question marked shaped media mecca there must have been a time when one had to go to roof that did not want to.

No?
