This month's presents night returns with London & Domino Records rollicking femaled duo, We Rock Like Girl's Don't for their third appearance for the ford squad. We also have local bands MausKramp and Trash Love Affair making up the noisy, scuzzy support and Benny Upsetter spinning off the wall disco and house records in the bar to make up what promises to be great night of music.
WRLGD visit Stafford before getting off the UK shores for a short tour of Belgium and France. Currently signed to Indie label Distort/Cargo and published and promoted by Domino Records here's some reviews of the band:
"How Did It Get To This is the kind of awesome rock record we don't hear often enough. Dirty riffs roar and screech against relentless rhythms and catchy pop choruses; think PJ Harvey and QOTSA in a bloody, pummeled-to-tiny pieces musical fist fight" 8/10 NME
"Like a drunken teenager tightrope-walking the wall of a multi-story car park's upper floor, WRLGD pick semblance from cacophany and inexplicably succeed on all levels" **** SUBBACULTCHA
“How Did It Get To This is one exciting slab of raw rock n roll that exudes pure sex. Ros and Vas manage to create a wall of sound between the two of them with pounding drums and some of the noisiest guitar sounds I’ve heard this year. “Rock ‘N’ Roll Freak” is an uppercut of a song. Like most of the songs on this album." 8/10 PUNK ROCK THEORY.COM
MausKramp return to the bird, after the success of their last self-promoted Activerb night. MausKramp mix elements of dance music, krautrock and dirge with scuzzy rock n roll sounds and distorted noises to form their own self-styled 'badtemperedrocknrolldisco'.
Finally, local band Trash Love Affair perform their current set of 'art-rock sleaze' before they get bored and do something else entirely. Again guitars of a scuzzy and dirty sound, harmonies, riffs, misanthropy and a general disgust for modern popular culture.
In the bar will be 'The Delta Hell Hounds' (tbc), AKA Bad Apple and Pete '.44' Pistol doing down and dirty blues and to wrap it all up Benny Upsetter whipping up a cosmic disco storm on the decks.
8pm - £4
