Fallen Moon Promotions invite you all for a hectic night of grungy alt-rock sludge in the Exchange Basement!

Cougar Mingus have exploded on the local Bristol scene with a series of powerful, original and standout live gigs. They once again headline an evening full of surprise in a sweaty grungy sludge fest! The musicianship is always on point and the lyrics pack a punch.

Premium support comes from South-West Rockers 'Plastic Tramps' who blend double-bass drums with a hard-hitting and entertaining performance.

Bristol's own 'This Is Real' complete the lineup and guarantee to bring energy, sass and expertly delivered alt-rock vibes to get the crowd warmed up into a frenzy.

Expect big things from all three bands.
