Dirty Weekend
Swooning paranoid indie” NME
Electro-tinged indie from Stockton. With eclectic influences and intense live shows, it’s no wonder Dirty Weekend have already played Glastonbury and supported the likes of Glasvegas and British Sea Power.

 

Mammal Club
From the ashes of The Eye Jab and Yourcodenameis:Milo comes one of Newcastle’s most exciting bands. Epic, intelligent indie, brimming with ideas and delivered with impassioned honesty.

 

Pretty Hickeys
Taking the bounce of The Libertines and adding a hint of unruly aggression, Pretty Hickeys are the sound of being young and getting old.

 

FREE Entry / Doors: 8.00pm / 18+
