FREE ENTRY

Information from the organisers

KING EFFERS (SHEFFIELD PUNKY REGGAE) - HEADLINERS
https://www.facebook.com/p/King-Effers-100063586809921/

In 2019, having got fed up with censorship and silly social media algorithms, Sheffield’s long standing politico-punks The F*kwits changed their name to King Effers, perhaps a little easier on the tongue.

Mr Keef and Chris (The F*kwits) were joined by Tank (Freekspert) on drums, and Muzz (Artery/Faerground Accidents) on bass. With a love of all things punk, reggae and rocksteady it was only a matter of time before the sound turned into a highly-charged punky reggae party.

Having toured the UK and Germany and negotiated the perils and pitfalls of the covid lockdowns, the band finally managed to procure enough studio time and complete the recordings of what would become the first King Effers album entitled ‘Soap Box’, to be released on Holy Dotage Records on Dec 1st 2023

Line up:

Mr Keef – Vocals & Guitar
Guitar Chris – Guitar & B-Vocals
Muzz – Bass & B-Vocals
Tank – Drums & Percussion.

Jarred Up Presents: KEG

TICKETS

Jarred Up Presents: KEG 

Erupting from a frenzied passion for the ‘song’, Keg toe a fine line between the angular throb of contemporary post-rock sensibilities and a timeless necessity for harmony and meticulous songwriting. Taking hints and tips from their forebears Minutemen, Fugazi and Radio 4 the band intend to confound genre, but mainly stick to the rock arena.

Armed with 7 musicians, Keg creates a frantic chaotic energy. Barbed guitars, wonky synth lines, peppered with trombone, and a glimpse into a confused man’s brain. The band rarely rest easy on one approach, equally happy to explore a college rock sound as a hardcore one. Its this indecision which leads Keg to continue to push their sound further, delving into ambient landscapes and melodic songwriting.

It is the live arena, where KEG is understood best, they’ve earnt their stripes at Greenman (Big Top), Latitude (Sunrise Arena), Sur Le Sac (CH), Sacred Ground (DE), End of The Road (Big Top), Dour Festival (BE), Vida Festival (ES) and built a loyal following of fans across the UK and Europe.

The band have released two critically acclaimed EPs ‘Assembly’ (2021) and ‘Girders’ (2022), garnering attention from Loud and Quiet, NME, Dork, So Young and support from BBC radio 6 and Radio X. DIY are real champions of the band, awarding them a slot in their prestigious Class of 2023.

They return with their anxiously awaited debut ‘Fun’s Over’ early 2025, and the chaos will ensue.

Jarred Up Presents: Avalanche Party 

“The most exciting rock & roll band in the UK right now” - JACK SAUNDERS, BBC RADIO 1

“A tsunami of mega riffs and eardrum-popping bass lines. Definitely don’t want to wear your Sunday best to one of their raucous gigs” - NME

“An absolute tour de force, their boundless energy and breathtaking performance truly sets them apart. By far one of the most thrilling bands you will see in the UK” - LOUDER THAN WAR

Today, (28th November 2024) Yorkshire feral garage-punk band Avalanche Party release new single ‘Shake The Slack’, a commanding, psychedelic-dance track and call to arms. The track features on their forthcoming album ‘Der Traum Uber Alles’ on 7th February via AMK, Kartel Music Group’s alternative music imprint. Listen to ‘Shake The Slack’ here.

Vocalist Jordan Bell speaks on the track, “This is about the noble process of taking the slack and shaking it. Whipping that angel delight into shape. The great reckoning cometh. We took a lot of takes in the studio to get it as crisp as possible, lots of slave-driving going on”.

Guitarist Jared Thorpe adds, “From the birth of the initial idea, this song went around the world four times before it learnt how to speak. It was like a painting that was painted over a hundred times, ripped apart daily for months. It kind of got to the point where it finished itself”.

Sidney&Matilda Presents: Snazzback

TICKETS

Snazzback’s electrifying chemistry has wowed audiences at Ronnie Scott’s, festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown & Shambala and gained support from BBC Radio heavyweights including Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova and Jamie Cullum. Snazzback's music is a collage, collectively constructed, torn up and glued back together in unexpected ways, bringing a renewed, daring energy to UK dance music. The 7-piece embrace their experimental beginnings to create a sound fusing abstract beats with spiralling improvisation. Their music is soaked in influences including interlocking West African rhythms, rootsy Brazilian flavours, sprawling soundscapes, deep dubstep basslines and flickering arpeggiators. A collaborative instinct runs through the group, and an eclectic choice of vocalists keeps their compositions shimmering with new possibilities."

‘Absolutely brilliant, I even did a wheel up, absolutely in love with that’ - Jamz Supernova BBC 6music

Hailing from Brighton Youth Sector’s music is a coiled spring of urgency and unpredictable energy; while lyrically offering a sense of catharsis for the confusion of modern adult life. Taking influence from art school greats DEVO and Talking Heads, the Brighton 5 piece never revel in bleakness, managing to twist everyday narratives into music that is quite the opposite being upbeat, full of energy and with irresistible choruses you can’t help but sing along with. Championed by the likes of Clash, DIY, Dork, Line Of Best Fit with multiple BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music plays, the band have toured and played shows alongside Kaiser Chiefs, Darwin Deez, Goat Girl and Courting as well as picking up a bunch of UK and EU festivals and playing SXSW in 2023.
