Washing Machine proudly presentsBAG OF CANS
QUEEN DOGS
SUB-LIMINAL
OSCAR NOVEMBER
HALF RETURN
On Saturday 20th September, we're thrilled to the onions to welcome back the utterly mighty BAG OF CANS to The Hunter Club in Bury St Edmunds!
With the launch of their debut album ’We Are A Band’ in June 2023, Bag of Cans managed to amaze and bewilder both listeners and their mums: not only were they very much “a band” but one that could release songs too. In late 2024 an EP called ‘Favourite Shirt’, with such songs as ‘Favourite Shirt’, was released, following a couple of years of tours and festival appearances. Capitalising on this momentum, they then pretty much immediately decided to take a break from gigging, in what is sure to be described as “a 4D Chess move of utter brilliance” and will be studied by industry moguls for years to come as “one of the promotional plays of all time”.
Released on Fierce Panda, these collections of songs have attracted praise and airtime from BBC Radio 6 and the single ‘Hostage at the Dinner Table’ was a joint winner on Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable. The EP’s titular tune ‘Favourite Shirt’ got a load of inexplicable plays on KEXP in the states, which confused everyone even further and no one really knew what to do with that information.
As the 'Cans now return from their slumber, they look to the autumn to throw themselves back into a great big puddle of gigs, and splash around for someone’s amusement in their tried and tested wellies of slightly-deranged-indie-music.
Supporting Bag of Cans will be punk/metal icons QUEEN DOGS, who've been playing at the Hunter Club since they were literally 8 years old and who, having reached the pinnacle of their considerable powers, have decided to call it a day, making this their *sob* last ever show. Come and cry with us while you cartwheel; together we can construct history's most emotional wall of death.
Also on the bill will be post-punk heroes SUB-LIMINAL, hugely exciting wonky art rock ensemble OSCAR NOVEMBER and brand new stage-destroying future legends HALF RETURN

THE HUNTER CLUB IS A SAFE SPACE
We take audience safety very seriously at The Hunter Club, and strongly believe that gigs can and should be safe spaces, free from harassment, intimidation, prejudice, bullying and violence. We expect that all artists, venue staff and attendees will respect our values, and we have a zero tolerance policy towards those who do not. Anyone who endangers the enjoyment and safety of others at a Washing Machine night will be ejected and barred. It is unfortunate that in the 21st Century we still have to say this stuff, but we hope that by doing so we can help to create an atmosphere where everyone feels safe and able to enjoy themselves.
