About our acts!!
// TV FACE //
Rising noise-punk trio from Lancaster, TV FACE, are set to release their much-anticipated second album, Wolf Rents Bark, on 5th September 2025 via Preston’s cult label Crackedankles Records — home to underground heavyweights including Evil Blizzard, Hotwax, and Polypores.
Fresh from headlining the Introducing Stage at Rebellion Festival, the world’s largest punk gathering, TV FACE are riding a wave of critical acclaim. Louder Than War has tipped Wolf Rents Bark as a contender for one of their albums of the year, while underground tastemakers HellaFuzz describe their sound as “sonic fury with a satirical edge … blistering, genre-defying … both chaotic and meticulously tight.”
// Gas Künst //
Gas Kunst wander through the world, catch their reflection and see imposters. How to find spirit amid such alienation? Gather in a room, grab instruments, play, record, play. Musical influences? The pure pipes of Karen Carpenter, the dextrous chug of Wilko Johnson, the incessant clatter of reindeer hooves. Their second album ‘Charm Offensive’ was released on Rare Vitamin Records in August and they're about to set off on tour with The Wytches in autumn!
// One Sided Horse //
One Sided Horse is the slightly more chilled project from Evil Blizzard's singing drummer, Mark Whiteside, whose songs have been likened to a quieter Bowie or Nick Cave. Over the last 5 years he has released two band albums featuring members of Embrace, Space, The Animals and a whole host of talented musicians, as well as touring the UK and Europe. This rare outing for Mark as a solo performer will serve a more delicate sound to ease you into the night before the onslaught of power to come.
// About our ticket prices //
We want everyone to be able to come to our gigs if they want to, no matter how much cash they do or don't have. But we do have costs to cover to make this event happen. So here's the deal.
Choose the £5 unwaged ticket if you have a low income, are unemployed, under-employed, precariously employed, and struggle to afford the basics.
Choose the £7 ticket if you're employed and can afford the basics, have some savings, or generally have some money left over at the end of the month.
Choose the £10 ticket if you have disposable income, live a comfortable life, can afford luxuries, and can easily afford a tenner for a night of first-class live music.
Thanks to Decolonise Fest for the inspiration for the tiered tickets.
