So tonight is the night, ladies and gentlemen. The Lagan, Darkshaft and Anonymous Tip. It's free, you've got your Lucky 13 shots for £2 and our specially created "The Luck 'O' The Lagan" cocktail for £5. Free entry and cheap drinks, cheap shots and some fucking awesome music...
So, apologies for the lack of updates and interesting little anecdotes, I've been on holiday, and whilst I remember very little of the entire week, I've been told it was good. And I survived, so that's a bonus.
I managed to catch the SHARKS/CROWNS/OUR TIME DOWN HERE matinee show yesterday, well worth it. They were all fantastic. Not a bad way to kick off your bank holiday weekend and wrap up a rather messy week off. Back to work for me today though, and we've got another special bank holiday treat for you in the form of WEIRDSVILLE ROUND TWO!
"The Eviltones deliver prime garage stomp with masterful surf-punk guitar, red raw vocals and a big bad hammerhead rhythm section pounding out the brutal and bloody backbeat to a concrete jungle call. Worshipping and invoking the restless, haunted ancestry that runs from the delta blues through 60’s garage into punk rock; The Eviltones devilishly distil the myths and spectres from the dark side of rock’n’roll history into high-octane, prime slices of furious death-dance burn-out boogie.
The stage show is a super-charged molotov cocktail of spit, sweat and abandon. Short, sharp shocks to the head are delivered in a formidable and furious fashion as The Eviltones struggle to remain human in the grip of some voodoo freak-show fever. Possessed, obsessed and the best dressed mess of the blues this side of the grave; shit your pants to the super-spooky sounds of The Eviltones."
"Formed as Rock'n'Roll covers band The Runaway Boys in early 2005, cousins Ray and Tom learnt to play together from the age of 13 through a shared love of Punk, later being turned on to Rockabilly and Psychobilly.
In 2008 they wrote and recorded 6 songs for their debut EP (see bandcamp link below).
Joined by Drummer Will from St Albans based Ska-Punk band Kiss My Brass, all the flavours mixed together into what we now know as the archetypal Ziphead sound.
Playing a mix of classic Rockabilly, Country, Ska, Swing, Surf, Psychobilly and Reggae, the boys have played alongside Punk heavyweights Discharge and Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Psychobilly legends Guana Batz, King Kurt, Vince Ray and the Boneshakers and Demented Are Go! as well as Two-Tone heroes The Beat, Neville Staples and The Selecter.
Good punchy, catchy songs played fast and passionately"
Not bad right? As last time, it's free from 8pm-1am, there'll be movies and other such visually stimulating entertainments as well as some classics from the You Got Taste jukebox and a few other treats. It's definitely not something you want to miss.
For the rest of this month, you lucky people have:
Sounds good right? Don't forget we've got Outside the Box comedy every Monday night, except this week (Monday 9th) what with it being a bank holiday and all!
