Simple Things presents Severed Heads at Jam Jar

A gig held at The Jam Jar on Friday 24th May. The event starts at 20:00.


Of all the great industrial reissues of recent years, the work of Sydney outfit Severed Heads stands out. One of the more adventurous acts celebrated under the ‘industrial’ umbrella, their work has taken on a new life after a glut of reissued material bolstered their cult following and highlighted the breadth of their wild tape experiments – club-ready proto-house, whirring post punk, gnarly industrial and glistening synth pop like that of their 1984 crossover hit Dead Eyes Opened. The pioneering band appear in Bristol for a rare showcase of their timeless work – don’t miss.
