Lice, Blood Wizard at The Louisiana
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Independent Venues Week hits the ground running with a loaded Louis takeover! LICE take top billing with their signature blend of twisted riffs & surrealist satire - think Mark E. Smith reborn in an industrial swamp-rock fever dream - alongside the angular freak-folk meets heart-on-sleeve punk of Breakfast Records fave Blood Wizard. Huge FFO: Fat White Family, Pigsx7, Black Midi, King Krule, Ezra Furman."
