Gorilla Riot
Nov 3 @ 7:30 pm – 11:00 pm

Gorilla Riot are a 4-piece dirty rock n’ roll blues machine from Manchester, England. Utilising a dual-pronged guitar attack with multi-part vocal harmonies; they play raucous blues-based rock, combining elements of grunge, stoner, and country to create a full-on high energy sonic experience.

Mainman, Arjun Bhishma, has surrounded himself with the best talent in Manchester to form Gorilla Riot.  Arjun, is joined by Charly T. (guitars & vocals), Deggy (bass), and Matt Talbot on skins.

They have built their reputation as a hard living, hard playing, genre-straddling rock n roll band that can draw forth tears of joy one minute and then the pain of a heart-felt lament the next.

Equally at home acoustically or electrically they have toured extensively with headline shows in Spain and France, and across the UK. They performed a sold-out album launch show for PEACH at Rebellion in Manchester in February 2020 but were then forced to cancel their album tour due to the covid pandemic.

However that didn’t stop them hitting the charts on the ‘Earache presents New Wave Of Rock N Roll’ compilation album, as well as NWOCR Vol 1 – both hitting Top #10 in their respective charts.

They released a 4-song acoustic EP entitled SOLACE in 2021, and now plan a new full-length studio album in 2024.

Green Mind presents CALIFONE
Nov 13 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Green Mind presents CALIFONE

After the breakup of his former band Red Red Meat, frontman Tim Rutili formed Califone as a solo project. Rutili’s solo effort soon became a full-fledged musical project with a regular and rotating list of contributors, including many former members of Red Red Meat and some members of other Chicago bands.

According to Rutili, Califone started as a home project: “The statement of intent would have been ‘easy listening’ compared to what we were doing with Red Red Meat. This was supposed to be making little pop songs out of found pieces. It was supposed to be just a little home project, and it slowly grew from there. Now it seems like just about anything goes.”

Califone’s sound is a combination of Red Red Meat’s blues-rock and experimental music, with inspiration drawn from early American folk music, pop, as well as electronic and groups like Psychic TV. Listeners familiar with Red Red Meat can quickly tell that Califone is not an attempt to revive the old band; elements from a number of musical styles contribute to their distinctive sound.

HOLY YOUTH MOVEMENT +Lay/Bye +Sub Prime Mortgage Lender
Nov 14 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm

Tickets available from 10am, Friday 19th July

Holy Youth Movement ( HYM ) are a 5 piece band hailing from Bristol, consisting of Drums, Bass, Guitar, Keyboards and Vocals. Their sound is a heavy mix of Rock n Roll and Electronica fuelled by Dance Floor Rhythms, driving Bass and a huge wall of Synthesizers and Guitars, all topped off with soaring anthemic Vocals and melodies.

Citing bands like Primal Scream, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Stooges and dance acts like The Chemical Brothers & Underworld as major influences, H.Y.M have managed to combine elements of both Rock n Roll and Dance / Electronica into their immense sound.

After writing songs & developing their new sound they approached legendary Producer Jagz Kooner (who has worked with the likes of Primal Scream, Kasabian, Oasis as well as a host of Dance luminaries such as Andrew Weatherall, The Sabres Of Paradise & Soulwax ) to take care of production duties on all their songs. Jagz was instantly hooked after hearing the album demos and totally blown away when he saw the band in rehearsals. He commented that they were one of the best live bands he’d ever seen and said the music was the perfect amalgamation of what he best described as “Electronic Rock n Roll”.

So far H.Y.M have self funded and released 4 singles of which 2 have had sporadic plays on Radio X. John Kennedy made their single ” Better Together” an Exposure Hot One on his show on Radio X as well. The huge potential of syncs for H.Y.M music was highlighted when Scotts Menswear used their debut single ” You Thought I Was Dead ( But Baby Im Just getting Started) ” on a viral social media campaign for their clothing range. The band have just released their debut 4 track E.P entitled “ The Shock Of The Future” . HYM signed with Ditto for the release and John Kennedy has once again championed songs from the EP on his Radio X show.

Having previously Supported Primal Scream (on their Maximum Rock n Roll tour) as well as The Dandy Warhols and a string of festival performances including Glastonbury, Truck Fest and Beautiful Days (where they were considered to be one of the high-lights of the entire weekend) they are now finally announcing their first ever UK Tour!

Grateful Dudes (Grateful Dead tribute)
Nov 15 @ 7:30 pm – 11:00 pm

Playing the music of The Grateful Dead, the Dudes explore the songs and improvisations from their vast repertoire, emulating the sound, style, freedom and adventure of their live shows. More than a band, the Grateful Dead were a phenomenon – from precursors of psychedelic rock in the sixties to the highest grossing US touring act in the late ‘80s and ‘90s. As the saying goes, “There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert”.

Formed in 2016 by experienced musicians, the Dudes play in authentic style and aim to re-create the atmosphere and musical experience of a Dead concert – the tunes and songs, the jams, the unpredictable, the vibe – across at least 2 ½ hours of music.

Continuing their travels far and wide, the Dudes are now playing their very first gig in Cambridge – so come down and give them a good ol’ Grateful Dead welcome!
