GAY AGAINST YOU
Gay Against You are the enthusiastic, messy and very, very friendly
duo of Lachlann Rattray and Joe Howe (aka Germlin), who inhabit the middle ground between Cyndi Lauper and The Locust. With a debut album 'Musclemilk' is out now on Adaadat and they have previously supported Lightning Bolt and Shitdisco and released a split single with none other than The Vichy Government.
Last seen with colour-in animal masks, a totem pole and a stageset of
a giant sleeping triangular cardboard lion all made and scavenged in
Cambridge before the gig. Expect noise and audience participation and posi-vibes.
'rabidly screaming fit-throwing duo put on a live show so attention-seeking -- all day-glo cupcaked, shrieking nose to nose with bewildered audience members and a strangely alluring chalked -out 'friend circle' - that any and all attempts to figure them out involved an after school trip to the analyst's couch' -- Plan B magazine
'a council estate Butthole Surfers ' -- Terrorizer

HOUSE MOUSE
House Mouse is the dark and mystical alter ego of Iain Mcdonald, whose guitar theatrics and elaborate costume designs are awe-dropping. He is also a member of Wall Street Ammunition Hero and runs independent record label badboxr. Expect shredding, squealing and rodents.

JELLICA
8-bit lofi chip-punk pop on Gameboys, Amigas, Commodore 64s and 80s keyboards. Last seen at Bad Timing supporting Max Tundra.
'Electronic glitch pop ... intermingled with gabba interludes, and covers of Prince and Kenny Loggins. Live performances noted for face painting and readings from the Razzle letters page.' Drowned in Sound
