Monday & Wednesday – Back Bar quiz – Lots of prizes to be won!

Monday
Hope And Social / Joanna Briggs / Gary Stewart / Chris Tye
Hailing from Leeds, Hope and Social are slightly more than your average indie band.
Mind-blowing, balls-to-the-floor, anything-for-a-laugh, much-more-for-a-tear, heart-on-your-sleeve, foot-on-your-monitor gigs. Not gigs. Shows. No, not shows…events. “Brilliant, uplifting and inclusive. That was amazing, here’s your cheque” Michael Eavis, Glastonbury Festival

Tuesday
World Unlimited presents: Alessi’s Ark
Not yet 21 but already a seasoned pro, having recorded her debut album aged just 17, with members of Bright Eyes, and touring with the likes of Laura Marling, Mumford & Sons and Brighton cult faves the Willkommen Collective. Time Travel is the first Alessi’s Ark album since signing to Bella Union, where her acutely melodic and exquisitely tender folk-pop charms haven’t just grown; they’ve blossomed into something extraordinarily mature.

Wednesday
World Unlimited presents: Colourmusic + support Zebedy Rays
Colourmusic began in Stillwater, Oklahoma by composing music based on Sir Isaac Newton’s theories of sound and colour. So far, the band has been played on over 160 college radio stations and has been featured on Billy Zero’s XM Radio show, the Radar Report, which highlights the nation’s best unsigned bands, and has licensed their music to the MTV Network for use on several programs.

Kilimanjaro & Birmingham Promoters presents: Fixers / Hot Horizons / Seeland

Thursday

Friday
Birmingham Promoters presents: Sound Of Guns / Capital Sun / JIA
Liverpool’s Sound Of Guns came together with a common goal: a love for good passionate music, and to forge a sound akin to their collective influences…from Foo Fighters to Led Zeppelin, and The Walkmen to The Doors. This diversity helps them cast off the usual sound associated with their hometown, Sound Of Guns have chosen anthemic power chords over jangly guitars and riotous gang vocals over quirky lyricism. An experience of epic proportions!

UnderTheCounter & Drop presents: LORN (Brainfeeder) + TOKIMONSTA(Brainfeeder)

So do some stretching and wash your lycra cat suits – we’re gonna set the dance floor on fire and dance like robots from 1984!

Break Thru presents: Commix
Year on year their music has gone from strength to strength. From the early days at Hospital to their transition to Metal Headz and the remarkable debut album “Call To Mind”, followed by and the ‘Re:Call to Mind’ remix lp which traverses myriad styles and tempos.

Metropolis & Birmingham Promoters presents: The Phoenix Foundation / Tara

From intelligent and infectiously catchy pop/rock gems, to epic, psychedelic prog rock, a glorious pop polyglot, combining sun bleached harmonies, chiming guitars, progressive synth scapes and subliminal rhythms to glorious effect. Slung between romance and absurdity, their music can move you to tears, make you laugh out loud, or whisk you away into another world, without ever losing its poise.

Tuesday

It’s Just Noise & Birmingham Promoters presents: Three Trapped Tigers / Tall Ships / Victories At Sea

London three-piece renowned for mixing the precision of electronica, the raw intensity of rock music and the schizophrenic spontaneity of their electro-improv past. Not easily classifiable, but with influences ranging from Aphex Twin and Squarepusher to Lightning Bolt and Battles. The music veers wildly from noisy guitars to contemplative synths, frantic beats to ambient noise.

Thursday

World Unlimited presents: Heidi Spencer & the Rare Birds + Allie Moss

A true-to-life troubadour and self-described eccentric, the songs on “Under Streetlight Glow” are pared-down to the essentials. One can feel a chill wind blow slightly through Spencer’s guitar and piano chords while her distinctive and inviting voice provides warmth for those cold nights the Milwaukee native knows so well.

Birmingham Promoters presents: Parts & Labor / Teeth Of The Sea / Free School

Constant Future is the career-defining statement from Brooklyn-based noise-pop trio Parts & Labor. The album’s 12 tracks deliver the bare essentials that made them sui generis totems of modern art-punk: synthesized keyboard riffs distorted into oblivion, percussion pummeled hypnotically, crackling drones that haunt and soothe, fearless melodies hollered skyward.

Friday

The Drum presents: Clint Eastwood and General Saint

Jamaica’s Clint Eastwood (Robert Brammer) originally teamed up with British reggae deejay General Saint (Winston Hislop) in the early 80s, with top ten hits in the uk single and reggae charts: Stop That Train, Another One Bites The Dust, Everything Crash… Now, following a stunning gig at last year’s Luton Love Music Hate Racism Festival they’re back and on top form.
