Bad For Lazarus + God Damn + Eighteen Nightmares At The Lux + ZoEtrope at Bull and Gate

Bad For Lazarus is a collaboration between ex-members of The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, UNKLE and NIN. This rowdy five-piece throw garage rock shapes in the manner of The Stooges, describing themselves as 'a muddle of guitars and vocals strewn through a groovy psychedelic wall of delicate, beastly drums and funkadelic keys.' Something magnificently evil is stirring in the Black Country. With gargantuan riffs and utterly bestial howls, engorged with the esoteric secrets of an army of effects pedals and pickled in deep blues culture, Wolverhampton’s God Damn represent a unique and thoroughly impressive addition to the UK’s underground music scene. Eighteen Nightmares At The Lux are a London based band and have a sound that marries all that is good in rock 'n' roll; an infectious blend of catchy riffs, banging beats, fuzzy bass and clever changes has started to draw a lot of attention. Their live event is a pop, cabaret, garagey fusion, if pushed to answer the band describe their sound as ‘Fuzzabilly’. ZoEtrope are armed with a no-frills guitar/bass/drums set up, a bunch of spiky post-punk songs and a devil-may-care attitude in spades, Amy Smith Zoe Grisedale and Hannah Logic bash through songs like ‘Debbie’, ‘Susan’ and ‘Demons’ in a way that shows a charming scant regard for traditional concepts like timing.
