Our recent recommendations for The Old England Pub
A genre-blurring goldmine, headed up by alt-dad rock supergroup of the weirdo underground Sunglasz Vendor – in rare improv form! Plus band-backed spontaneous verse from local poet Devin Birse, woozy ambient free jazz cross-pollinations from David David, and the cosmic synth-psych of Warped Frequencies.

Stolen Body-endorsed mind-melting Martian stoner doom! Longheads are indeed a space travelling band - loaded with big stacks, earth-shaking fuzz solos and epic passages of synapse-warping signature changes. Heavy psych done right FFO: Sabbath, King Gizzard, Slift, Electric Wizard, Spaceslug.

Sell out warning! Raucous noir-punks Grandma’s House bring it on home to the Old E after conquering the world at large. If you ain’t already been won over by those razor blade vocals, toxic surf-grunge guitars and galloping drums, this is a no-brainer FFO: Ditz, Lambrini Girls, M(h)aol, Surfbort.
A night celebrating Grandmas House' new single!
More DIY delights at the Old E - nature is healing! Portrait Of’s sinuous experimental symphonies teeter at the mid-point of jagged post-punk and noodling indie rock, threatening total collapse but always perfectly controlled. Top tier local support from noise rock trio Grubbing (fka Big Pigeon) and psych-blues balladeers Dogs Don’t Die.

Blossoming newbie three-piece Ladye are lush, woozy and full of 90s indie sentimentality: languid dreampop-rock that channels The Cranberries/The Sundays with an extra dose of fuzz n crunch. Vital scene knowledge FFO: Alvvays, Soccer Mommy, Widowspeak, Soot Sprite.
