Downstairs show £13 + bf advance Skiddle / £15 on the doorPulled Apart By Horses have earned a reputation as one of the UK’s most electrifying live bands, an adrenaline fuelled cult built on trust, intensity and shared scars. Their shows teeter between precision and total mayhem. They blur the line between band and audience, valuing that connection from day one. Frontman Tom Hudson rarely stays onstage; face to face and unpredictable, he turns every corner of the venue into part of the performance. From sweat soaked clubs to festival stages, Pulled Apart By Horses create something raw and communal. With five albums behind them and fresh noise brewing, they’re as lean, loud and unhinged as ever.

Loose Articles aren't your typical punk band. Living the 9-5 as many of us do, but once it hits beer O’clock, a different animal emerges. They began their musical escapades by aiming (& evidently achieving) to “make music because we wanted to prove a point that women can do it just as well as men. it became the first inspiration, then we realised we’re pretty alright at it so now we’re doing it for us and having a right laugh with it.”
Though they’ve drawn comparisons with and it’s who stand out as the major touchstone for the band – longtime Fall producer (& collaborator) Simon ‘Ding’ Archer, recorded & produced ‘Orchid Lounge’ EP in recognising something of that group’s surrealist street poetry in Loose Articles.
"We have a lot of political messages about what’s on our mind” says bassist and vocalist Natalie, "I just write whatever pisses me off at the time, it touches on subjects like work, being scared of buses, having social anxiety in big public situations.”
‘Up The Disco’, the band's first release in almost a year saw Loose Articles hit the high notes. Recorded with Theo Verny and premiered by BBC 6 Music's Steve Lamacq (resulting in multiple plays across the station), a limited 7" released on Manchester label Dipped In Gold, lead to the band's inclusion on NME's Hot 100 for 2021. B-Side 'Buses' was released in Feb 2021, again seeing support from BBC 6.

'...guitar lines unspool like electrical cables filled with acid punch, and remain crackling in the air for moments longer than you imagine they can remain afloat.' Byron Coley
'A perfect concoction of sun-scorched psychedelia, raga infused improvisation and classic kraut-rock circularity, DEAD SEA APES recall Grails and Barn Owl at their best.' Sounds From The Other City
'...stunning, visceral and downright thrilling... you’re going to have to trust me on this one – DEAD SEA APES are really something very, very special indeed.' Terrascope Online
