Thursday
- Wacky Weird & Wonderful presents: Crevecoeur / Horse Feathers / Dark Hearts & Visuals by Films Ficciones – French three-piece Crevecoeur (‘broken heart’) produce a cinematic soundscape. Instrumental from start to finish (with the exception of a few lines from a Speak and Spell toy) there are no obvious signs of ‘Frenchness’ but a definite tilt towards dusty roads, spaghetti westerns and Mariachi music.

With a Mercury Rev tinged rock sound expect anthemic choruses, and a fair degree of thrashing about.
