THE LIFTMEN

Friday 30th November ~ 8pm

£5 Door entry

There are echoes throughout of those fertile times when punk's brusque energy found its way to more subtle timbres via bands like Gang Of Four, The Bush Tetras and Jozef K, while at points an almost jazzy serenity descends recalling the Chicago school of the nineties yet just as often this is gleefully ruptured by fuzzed-out motorik detours and Deerhoofian thrusts into sonic overdrive.

+ EMPTY POOLS

Hailing from the harbour city of Bristol, Empty Pools formed in the halcyon days of fading summer 2011. They artfully combine elements of noise rock with teen dream melodies, late'70s CBGB's angularity and the jazzy world-pop sophistication of the Thrill Jockey set.

+ BLYTHE PEPINO

'Thoughtful, surreal, funny and pointed [Blythe Pepino's] versatilily is used to the full, playing, clapping and crooning from neo-classical through gypsy swing to strange jazz-pop, but Blythe's awesome singing is the towering presiding presence. Pepino is simply unmissable.' (Venue Magazine)
