THE TREATMENT

Cambridge’s rock heroes make a welcome return for a Christmas show at the venue that started it for them. Having supported everyone that matters in rock and metal, while garnering a massive following of their own, we know you’ll be as pleased as us to welcome them back!

MASSIVE

Meet Massive: a deadly 8 legged Aussie rock-monster that isn’t for the faint-hearted.
Assembled from parts lying around Melbourne in 2012, Massive are a volatile macho-rock engine fuelled on adrenaline, lager and a determination to party hard. Known to travel thousands of miles across the baking desert between gigs, these riot-starting, fist swinging road dogs mean business.

The debut album ‘Full Throttle’ is a breakneck all-killer-no-filler record which is brimming with attitude. Tracks like ‘One By One’ fuses aggressive and anthemic choruses with eye-watering solos whilst the bass-heavy testosterone soaked ‘Dancefloor’ is more circle pit than ballroom. The menace and grit of the band comes out in tracks like ‘Big Trend Setter’ which is an egotistical explosion of pure Rock’n Roll arrogance. ‘Now or Never’ is a white knuckle joyride with enough G-force to make your head spin and the middle-finger-to-the-man numbers like ‘Hollywood’ will whip up any crowd into an anarchic frenzy.

Stripped down acoustic renditions of original metalcore material.

We are a group of vegans and ARA’s who are passionate about raising awareness of/campaigning against all forms of oppression and injustice- animal, human and environmental.

The aim of this event is to unite all types of activists; to network, learn and share information. We believe that together we are stronger and are ultimately all fighting for different aspects of the same cause!

People will be encouraged to bring any petitions/literature and to speak briefly on the issues closest to their hearts, to perform original material or covers that are relevant to the concept of the night.

The evening will kick off with an open mic, followed by bands. There will also be stalls with vegan food and info too!

Proceeds will be going to Stop The Cull and Hillside Animal Sanctuary.

If all goes well, we intend to make this an annual event

As if you need a reason to eat, drink and be merry but it’s also for a great cause!
****£4 entry on the door****

Due to unforeseen circumstances this gig has been cancelled. Any tickets bought in advance will be refunded minus booking fee.
