Filed Under:Discussion: C[0]mments
The next ROUND OUR GAFF is on Saturday July 19th and it’s going to be packed – again! Resident DJs and RoG promoters The Ladies of the Manor will spin a delectable mix of rocking, sleazy and noisy Electro, Punk and Indie schmindie amongst another stellar RoG lineup:
THE SUGARS
Coaxed out of the garage by mates The Long Blondes, Leeds natives Anna, Alex and Matt specialise in short, sharp, garage-flavoured, quiff-bothering indie dancefloor-fillers. This lovelorn three found each other humming Jackie Wilson and Sonics 45s down by the riverbank. Imagine 50s street corner harmonies colliding head on with a tricked out hot-rod: All crashing cymbals with a clutch bag of distortion and high heels in tow.

WE HAVE BAND
This elusive London/Manchester trio’s hyperkinetic basslines ala Hot Chip, relentless rhythms and out-of-this world vocals that would send David Byrne running for retirement has record label A&R types salivating over them after only a handful of gigs in super-cool clubs (like Round Our Gaff!). Infectious, danceable and DARK. “If someone doesn’t sign them, and sharp-ish, we’ll have a whip round and do it ourselves.” – The Guardian

rubinthecubin
Rising from the ashes of S. Rock Levinson, clad in biohazard suits and day-glo shades, rubinthecubin make an almighty electropop surf racket, as sick as the Pet Shop Boys strapping the Beach Boys onto a flaming barbie. Must be heard to be believed.
