Fudge Aberdeen and The Moorings Bar present:

Saturday 18th February - Sanctuary Aftermath with DJ Munkey and two live bands:

TYRANNOSAURUS ALAN (Medway)

Undoubtedly, Kent's favourites are a band on the rise in the

UK scene. From opening the main stage at this year's

Rebellion festival (and confirmed for 2012), through support

runs through the rest of the year alongside the likes of

Capdown and the Voodoo Glow Skulls, their boisterous mash

up of skacore and rap has taken the scene by the scruff of

the neck and doesn't look like letting go anytime soon.

“We have horns to blast your face, bass to rumble your feet,

drums to bang your head, guitar to jangle your cockles and

vocals that make you wanna shout at us,” they say.

Punk, ska, hip-hop, funk, and rock all get a look in with this

awesome band. Don’t miss. If you dance, they’ll be back.

www.facebook.com/talanband

THE HOSTILES (Ayr)

Another band that haven’t been round these parts in a while,

The Hostiles, are also all about good tunes and upbeat party

music. And everyone likes a horn section afterall...

"Upbeat, effervescent, bouncy and danceable" - Punktastic

THE BRIMSTONE DAYS (Malmö, SWE)

“We always give 100% on stage and love to play live! Make

The Brimstone Days is one of the most unique bands in Sweden

Sat 24th Mar - ‘Justice Forever’ with DJ Lucifer.

LONGHORN (Edinburgh)

Five stoner rock monsters: if you saw them last time, you‘ll

no doubt remember them as ‘the band with the air-raid siren’.

If I say they have songs about Bull Gods and a top-hatted

singer, I think you’ll probably have the idea. Start boozing

right now in anticipation of a night of ferocious liver-damage.

Longhorn will be bringing a special guest with them...
