A night of nefarious live noises for your noggins featuring . . . 

Bogus Gasman
Ska / Punk / Dubcore

6-Piece Punk/Dub/Hardcore/Thrash/Jazz group originating from the Artistic hub that is Lewisham and taking in members from as far away as High Wycombe, Wales, Mesopotamia and Grandad. They make music that is fun, ballsy and always great to dance to filled with lyrics that reflect the grit of life in the forgotten corners of the nations capital. And also their love of Wilson brand socks. Whether tight as fuck and hot as shit or drunken and sloppy as your mother on a Saturday night, they never fail to play entertaining shows!

Dog of Man
Accordion driven post-punk / psyche / alt rock

Dog of Man emerged, blinking, from a basement in Brighton with a demented collection of songs bursting with wild riffs, wry humour and improbable choruses. What started as a cathartic noise jam morphed into the weirdest rock music you’ll ever dance to. This is the sound of distorted accordion, erratic guitar licks, melodic bass and frenetic drumming. It’s noisy, it’s fun, inventive and immediate – veering into breakcore beats, folky interludes and gypsy stompers to get a party going. Dog of Man have brought their turbulent live show to London raves, squatted Amsterdam dockyards and beach parties in Croatia. The result was a mass of contorted dancing, flailing hair and sweaty bodies. Their first EP ‘Musically Transmitted Diseases’ came out in March 2018. This year the band hosted an exhibition of their own art work, played dozens of shows and headlined a European tour. Their debut album ‘Dogmatic Manual’ is out now!

ADAM WALTON, BBC Radio -
Paul I love to be able to play music that has some truth to it. Your lyrics sound real, and I wasnt expecting that when I heard the first few chords, In all honesty...Lots of reggae-light with no balls out there, not you though. Good Luck, Very much looking forward to hearing more.

Rudeboy Promotions -
Paul sings about his feelings, late night drinking sessions, Girls, being unemployed, working for the man, being skint and more drinking and looking at him you know he`s been there and done it! BUT...He wears his heart on his sleeve, He has the ability to write his lyrics on a wall, kick the wall down and move on. One of the best reggae solo artists around by far!
