Three explosive bands. One intimate room. A night of punk grit, alternative chaos, and high-energy originals — followed by a karaoke after-party where the crowd takes over the mic.
🎸 Healthy Junkies
London punk veterans Healthy Junkies bring their fierce, theatrical, glam-grunge-punk manifesto to TAM.
Formed in 2009 by French-born vocalist Nina Courson and guitarist Phil Honey-Jones, the band blends punk, grunge, psychedelic rock, garage, goth, and new wave into a sound that’s raw, melodic, and unapologetically defiant.
With albums Sick Note (2011), Box of Chaos (2016), and their latest release Listen to the Mad (2025), Healthy Junkies remain a vital force in the UK underground.
⚡ Blueshift
Self-proclaimed “Schizo-Alt” band Blueshift have been steadily climbing the Herts & London circuit since forming in 2022.
Built around Kuba “Mat” Krzysciak and Brandon Pearson, with Tadhg Kelleher on bass, their live sets flip between hook-driven indie rock and full-throttle punk — often within the same song.
Currently celebrating the release of debut single “Mind of Mine”, with more new music and an EP on the way.
🌪️ The White Gates
Rising Essex band The White Gates deliver a high-energy rock/pop show packed with original songs and standout performances.
Formed in summer 2022, the band features:
- Jessica Richardson – vocals
- Ryan Heather – bass guitar & keys
- Oscar Ball – lead & rhythm guitar
- Tyla Brooks – drums
Influenced by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Paramore, they’re currently recording their first releases while building momentum across London and Essex.
🎤🎉 KARAOKE AFTER-PARTY
When the bands finish, the night doesn’t stop. Stick around for our karaoke after-party, open to all ticket holders.
From guilty pleasures to full-throttle rock anthems — come sing, shout, or just cheer from the bar.
🍔🥂 Food, Drinks & Supporting the Temple
Great food is available from the independent traders at Mercato Metropolitano, just outside our doors — arrive early, eat well, and settle in for the night.
🍺 All drinks are served from the TAM bar inside the venue.
This bar isn’t just a place to grab a drink — it’s how we fund the music, sound engineers, and the people who keep the show running.
🚫 Outside Drinks Policy
We kindly ask that drinks purchased elsewhere in Mercato aren’t brought into the venue.
If outside drinks are brought in, there’s a £5 per drink charge — not as a penalty, but to help us keep things fair and support what we do.
💛 Every drink you buy at TAM supports live music, local talent, and the community that makes this space so special.
