THE TRAVELLING BAND 8pm £6 adv / £7 doors

THE TRAVELLING BAND return with a new single ‘Sundial MMXI’ following their 2nd album, released on COOKING VINYL. A glorious refrain circling and swelling to include strings, horns, harmonies and a gleeful euphoria. It isn’t quite soul, it isn’t quite folk, pop or rock – but it is, unremittingly beautiful.

“An inventive brand of guitar-laden country folk pop with a cosmic aesthetic and sprinkles of trademark Manchester’s musical lineage” – Clash Magazine

TROPIcS

9pm-4am £free entry

TROPICS is Chris Ward – signed to beat heavy players PLANET MU, taking influences from 70s jams, post-punk & whatever else he taped in his youth.

Dreamy, summer nostalgia, utterly gorgeous slow motion mix sounding like sustained euphoria, disco, shimmering synths, lush 80s inspired production, he’s caught the attention of LITTLE DRAGON and BEAR IN HEAVEN who he remixed, along with PITCHFORK and XLR8R. planet.mu/artists/tropics

BOY cRIED WOLF DRAWINGS FOR PARIS & SUPPORT 8pm £4 entry

BOY CRIED WOLF is the project of Wayne Murray, whose EP last year was a beautifully crafted piece of work and testament of one man’s determination to pursue his dream. Partly already come true, Murray is now the live guitarist with MANIC STREET PREACHERS – in fact, NICKY WIRE has helped out with lyrics and JAMES DEAN BRADFIELD played guitar on one track ‘No Comfort From Your Skin’.

This talent is certainly one to watch out for. myspace.com/boycriedwolf

A-SKILLZ’s incredible deck talents fuse funk, soul and hip-hop with drum’n’bass, dub-step and breaks – all sliced, mashed and cut together with a unique style of scratching and mixing.

His reputation as a true party rocker has won him prime-time slots across the world at a ‘who’s who’ of major events.

The Belfast quartet are a wrecking ball of a band – their rhythmic posthardcore is designed to pulverize dancefloors and leave no bottle of beer undrunk. Recalling JESUS LIZARD, SHELLAC, HELMET and THERAPY?, LAFARO have character, chops and emotion oozing through every seedy riff.

FEED THE DJ

FEED THE DJ is a new concept – no longer do you have to sit and listen to what the DJ wants to play, you now FEED THE DJ. Any style of music is cool, it’s all about YOU. You give the DJ a memory stick of tunes before 8pm (at least an hour’s worth), you book a timeslot (first come first served), the DJ plays your tunes for the hour, during which time you and your party get drinks promos for that hour. The DJ mix is then polished, uploaded online the next day, and you’re given instructions to download your own personal mix. feedthedj.wordpress.com

HULLABALOO 8pm £4 entry

New Cardiff band who have already earned a reputation for energetic live performances, taking subtle hints from COLDPLAY, PINK FLOYD and RADIOHEAD, but adding an embellishment of cool saxophone riffs and sweet violin melodies, piano-driven anthems and quirky musings. facebook.com/upthehullabaloo
