Because our normal night this month clashes with Minehead ATP we are undertaking a cultural exchange with our nice friends at Goonite. They are running our Friday night slot (more info below) and we are running their Wednesday night, which just happens to be tomorrow, 14th May. I heartily recommend you attend both of these events if at all possible!

K**** K****
Formerly known as Kling Klang, 5 piece heavy experimental synthesiser krautrock orchestra signed to Rock Action, with amplified vintage synths, futuristic riffs, electric guitars and live drums.
"A truly brilliant Liverpool quintet, they're a Casio-constructed cross of Amon Düül and Add N to (X)" - drownedinsound

BUTTONHEAD
Eclectic noise salad. And vehemently not folk.
"Buttonhead have refined their live act into what closely resembles a burst goat, or the conjunction of mustard and Velcro, and they frequently invite their audiences to spit biscuits and construct large pineapple hammers on stage" - the band
"Buttonhead have been puzzling London gig-goers for some time now with their eccentric art-rock. This ensemble leans heavily towards all things otherworldly, muddling folk textures with hyperactive percussion and playful melodies. It’s deranged, in the best possible way" - drownedinsound

UNCLE PEDRO
