Media puzzle + gumdrop at The Old England Pub
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Contagious and eggy good-time garage action from Down Under! Taking the itchy, radioactive pop of Ty Segall and DEVO and dialling the fun to near-meltdown levels with surreal samples and trumpet blasts - we dare you not to fall for Media Puzzle’s goofy post-punk universe. Even the Pitchfork stiffs dig it!"

A gig held at The Old England Pub on Thursday 20th August. The event starts at 20:00.


Extra Terrestrial Promotions & Velvet Echoes are proud to present Melbourne's Media Puzzle, conveyors of loose, whacky, weird and addictive garage rock. The bands sound is distinctively lofi, featuring jangly guitars, tight drums, weird synth noises, distorted vocals (with lyrics that reflect their mischievous and incomprehensible sound) and even a trumpeteer! The band cite Devo, Beck and Uranium Club as distinct influences, but have truly formed a sound that can be distinguishable as their own. The bottom line is - Media Puzzle are a very fun band!

Come and catch these guys in a small space before they blow up!

Huge one FFO: The Bug Club, Devo, Pipe Eye

Support on the evening comes from bristol Based noise makers gumdrop!
