We’re pleased to announce that This Is Tmrw have rescheduled Girl Band‘s cancelled February show and the band will now be heading to the H&H on 22nd January 2017.

Formed in Dublin in late 2011, noisy indie rock quartet Girl Band’s debut single “In My Head” quickly caused a stir in the blogosphere, appearing as a free download in April 2012.  The four-piece of Dara Kiely (vocals), Alan Duggan (guitar), Daniel Fox (bass), and Adam Faulkner (drums) will be turing in support of their self produced debut album, ‘Holding Hands with Jamie’, which landed on Rough Trade last September. Check out the video for their single ‘Pears for Lunch’ below;

After stealing the show at this year’s Lunar Festival we’re delighted to be welcoming Bentley Rhythm Ace (Live) to the H&H this Friday 12th August.

Bentley Rhythm Ace formed in Birmingham in 1996 when ex Pop Will Eat Itself bassist Richard March and DJ Michael Stokes discovered a shared love of obscure, oddball and eccentric tunes. Utilising lo-fi cut and paste sampling techniques combined with analogue synths and some wild turntable action their debut EP was picked up by Fatboy Slim’s Brighton based Skint records and released to widespread acclaim.

The BRA live show added Fuzz Townshend on drums and James Atkin (ex EMF vocalist) on keyboards and the latter years of the 90s saw BRA firmly established as festival favourites with appearances at Glastonbury, Reading, V, T in the Park, Montreux Jazz and Fuji Rock amongst many others. Their irreverent approach mixed with big beats, thundering bass, wild synths and esoteric samples proved to be a hit with fans and critics alike. 1998 saw Bentley Rhythm Ace crowned “Best Dance Act” in that year’s NME awards

Their eponymous debut album was given a worldwide release after the Bentleys signed to Parlophone records and the band toured extensively in the UK, Europe, Japan, Australia and USA. As well as releasing a highly regarded DJ mix album on Ministry of Sound, and releasing a second album for Parlophone (featuring vocals from Black Grape/Ruthless Rap Assassins frontman Kermit), BRA also produced well received remixes for the Beastie Boys and Supergrass as well as soundtracking several TV shows and adverts.

2016 sees the 20th anniversary of the release of the hit single “Bentley’s Gonna Sort You Out” and the full original live line up are looking forward to a series of live shows throughout the summer. Check out the video below;

Following on from last year’s Billy Childish collaboration Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon and their recent acoustic record A Season in Hull, Bamboo Diner in the Rain sees The Wave Pictures battling against the robot music apocalypse. The new album is a bluesy, boozy love letter to the guitar, filled with American Primitive instrumentals, John Lee Hooker chugs and Link Wray style minor-key surf music.
