Cats In Paris

A deliciously tight squeeze of…

Cats In Paris
http://www.myspace.com/catsinparis
Too beautiful to be hardcore, too riotous to be deemed epic, too surreal to be accepted as pop, too pop to be overlooked by the masses (d.i.s). Think Space Odyssey’s HAL circuit bent into a blissful psychedelic dream, then downloaded onto Andrew Bird’s ipod via Architecture in Helsinki. Don’t miss them on the Birmingham leg of their UK tour!

Baby Venom
http://www.myspace.com/babyvenombaby
Baltimore’s finest offering since ‘The Wire’. With sonic youth led soundscapes wrapped in the malleable fuzz and playful melodies of the Unicorns, Baby Venom bring to the table their refreshing brand of lo-fi synth pop.

Tired Irie
http://www.myspace.com/tiredirie
Algebraic disco punk falling somewhere between the French House of Justice and the irresistible energy of Q and Not U. Eerie and contagious, Tired Irie are finally back in brum with their intelligent, limb flailing pop.


Great Eskimo Hoax
http://www.myspace.com/greateskimohoax
Somewhere between the spasmodic mathpop of Youthmovies & the synth-drenched quirkiness of Animal collective lie West Midlands trio Great Eskimo Hoax, with vocals at once melodic & shouty cutting through carefully textured guitars, keys and insistent drum pulses.

Between Us and the Fire.
http://www.myspace.com/betweenusandthefire
Worcester based doom-fun merchants creating epic post-apocalyptic pop songs. A concentrated dose of The Murder of Rosa Luxembourg’s spaz-core noisecheer topped with arcade fires choral infection.

£4/ £3 NUS.

Doors open at 7pm.
