MICHAEL // Repo Man at The Golden Lion
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Newsflash: brash, loud, yet very approachable blokes make freakish noise rock, bad acid psych and goofy fuzz metal feel totally fresh again. None of them are called Michael but they reallllly bring the dirt alongside ever-reliable ear-ripping skronk noise unit Repo Man. Essential FFO: Sex Swing, Butthole Surfers, Melvins, Gnod, Sleep. "

Tenner for a good time

A gig held at The Golden Lion on Friday 28th February. The event starts at 21:00.


M I C H A E L ============= Lysergic thrill rock from east London's enthusiastic riffonators. Slime around to their new sounds. Delve in to the pantry and help yourself to a lick of their pomegranate pomade. Repo Man ======== Repo Man emerged in Bristol in 2011, reshaping 'rock groop' sturm-und-clang into subnormal forms, son-of-Oldham vocal slurries, o0zing Free sax splatter and shards of punishing guitar bliss. If you ever freaked to The Fall, Sonic Youth, Swans or Ornette Coleman then Repo may be your ticket to oblivion. Presented by Wizzarding Promotions.

Entry requirements: 18+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
