Naked Lunch

With Support acts:

The Department

A rocky Synthpop band with synthwave tendencies. Taking influences from The Human League, The Cure, The Smiths, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, The The and New Order.

Their excellent debut album ‘Alpha’ has received considerable critical praise and they have been on numerous radio shows including BBC radio 6.

Their ethos: creating dramatic, instant, energetic electronic music with moving lyrics that explore life, love and existence.

Jan Doyle Band

Doncaster’s own dramatic synthsters known for wild and chaotic live shows. Priding themselves on being difficult to define as they refuse to stay in one stylistic rut and say churn out song after song that sounds like Erasure or Depeche Mode. Sometimes subtle sometimes explosive, always exciting.

Mangabros

Again hailing from Doncaster, The Mangas take a very warped and twisted approach to music. Fracturing and splitting songs into a billion pieces then reassembling into something strange, dark and beautiful.

Impossible to define by any genre tag, they just have to be experienced to be appreciated.

Here are gushes of a truly warped, sinuous fusion of beats n bass, (bad) acid and psych-prog/electronica/sampladelia; the bones of Burroughs and Rhinehart ground up and snorted; these are songs, but not as we know them.
