thump of Tom Waits on the way, Tupelo Town Assembly

MISS THE OCCUPIER

"Miss the Occupier are an indie-punk three-piece who

take angular guitar riffs, fuzz them up until they're a

suitably deafening din, and set them alongside the

sardonic musings of singer Roz Davies. It's like being

stomped in the face by The Fall's stroppy younger sister,

and enjoying it just a little bit too much for your own

good." - The Herald

FEWSEL (Germany)

fewsel | new album coming soon

Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More

A psychedelic /progressive stoner rock band from Wiesbaden, Germany, Fewsel started as a fun project: we met, drank and played some bluesrock. Someday we thought that we could write songs, perform on stages and be a serious ambitious band with aims. Since then we are trying to design a new unique sound and simultaneously do justice to the old legends like Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Black Sabbath. If you wanted to know what Fewsel sounds like without listening, you could see it as a blend of Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, Mastodon, Tool and Black Sabbath.

GLASSMAN

Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More

Winners of 'Best Newcomer' at the Fudge Awards 2011, Glassman are a three piece Heavy Rock/Stoner outfit. Formed in early 2010 in a tiny basement room with no windows, Glassman came together through a common love of "beer guzzling stoner rock" as the advert put it. Since then they have been working like fuck to build up a live set. With a large list of potential future classics already in the pipeline the band are still exploring different sounds and applying varying degrees of Heavy to their songs...

First act onstage 9pm, second at 10pm. 18+ only.

Plus! Our rotating monthly clubnight BJORN LIPPY:

DJ Woollie will play you some classic punk, eighties

indie, new romantic, new wave, northern soul, and all

manner of eighties classics. One thing though: she

doesn't do request. So don't say you weren't warned.

CURATORS

Curators | Facebook

Curators formed in Edinburgh from the ashes of various bands in late 2008, winning

great reviews and support from Is This Music?, Jim Gellatly, Vic Galloway and

various blogs, as well as airplay across the country, including Radio 1.

The band emerged with Is This A Private Fight?, a record that made number 3 in Jockrocks albums of 2010 list. Heres what people have been saying about it:

"Anthemic stadium rock" - Vic Galloway, Radio 1

"Perfectly executed guitar tunes big on anthemic choruses and catchy hooksif you dont like this album youre probably already deaf" - Is This Music?

Real Hot-Rod-from-Transformers-the-Movie-opening-the-matrix-to-save-the-day stuffCurators have seen the skinny boy sharp haircut guitar template that gets you on the cover of NME, laughed at it, set fire to the landfill and got on with the task in hand Pet Piranha

"This band are one of the revelations of the yearthe best new Scottish band to emerge this year" - Kowalskiy

"For the more discerning/bookish/reflective among you, it seems futile to try to resist the charm of this band" - Scotsman Radar

"Is This A Private Fight? offers up an impossibly consistent batch of stadium-ready anthems with the kinds of choruses most bands only write a handful of times in a career" - Daily Dischord

TURNING THIRTEEN

Turning13 | Facebook

A dynamic four-piece Aberdeen band whose debut single, String She Pulled,

is packed with enormous riffs, moods that flit from light to shade, and

impassioned vocals, are powering out of their hometown to take on the world.

They mix Fugazi, Deftones, and Far, and recently won 'Best Live Band' and

'Best Punk Act' at the Fudge Music Awards 2011

.

First act onstage at 9pm, second at 10pm. Over 18 only.

Plus! Our rotating monthly clubnight RELEASE YOUR

KRAKEN, where the Kraken DJ Duo will be tag-teaming

their way through the cream of rock, metal, punk, indie,

grunge, pop and stoner from the past forty or fifty years.

SON HENRY

... www.facebook.com/pages/Son-Henry/333875198243

Alaskan lap-steel virtuoso Son Henry is promising some “sup-

rises” for his set. Either way, we don’t doubt that he’ll mix the

blues with squealing room-shaking high-intensity soloing, play

slide with a beer bottle in his teeth - and generally kick your

ass like it never been kicked it before. Highly recommended.
