THUNDERFEST 2013 - A Festival of New & Emerging Music!
THE HINKLEY VELTONES + Schnauser + Mark McDowell + The Charlie Tipper Experiment + DJ Gary Smith & BEERGARDEN BBQ
THE HINKLEY VELTONES: A big clanging bell, caught at the moment just before it cracks. Something like Clinic fronted by Hank Williams, everything reverb-ed into a sobbing submission, music you put on in order to light up a cigarette and calmly drive your car off a cliff. The fact that they looked like pissed-off geography teachers dragged out onto an awkward stag night just added to the heady mix. Brilliant. David Lynch should sign them up as his next house band. ' The Rach III, Choke
SCHNAUSER: Bristol based band who play melodic pop/rock awash with unexpected chord changes, harmonies, black humour and odd time signatures.
MARK MCDOWELL:Mark's live solo sets are drawn from the acid folk and country of the first two McDowell albums'Rooks Wedding' and'The Gap in the Curtain' and from the latest EP'McDowell Chamber Union' which is currently receiving radio air play.
THE CHARLIE TIPPER EXPERIMENT: Tim Rippington Ex Flatmates new indie explosion.
DJ GARY SMITH-Ex BBC & Award Winning Bristol Uncovered Radio Show presenter spins a mix of eclectic tunes and comperes tonights awesome bill!
