Rock'n'Roll and Other Lost Causes
The Beatpack are the UK's prime purveyors of brutal 60's garage R'n'B, proto psych and freakbeat.
Long time associates of Edinburgh's ain garage / beat / psych scene and friends of Under The Wires this show is in a tiny venue. You should buy your tickets now.

Hamell on Trial is the musical alias of folk punk hero Ed Hamell. A one-man explosion, he is loud-as-war one minute, stepping off the microphone to whisper to an enthralled audience the next.
Death Valley Girls are “true magical infinite potential” through a collage of scorching proto-punk riffs, earworm melodies, far-out lyrics, and lysergic auxiliary instrumentation.
I'm so excited about Bella & The Bizarre that I'm listing this show twice! Berlin-based Bella and the Bizarre are a wild fusion of garage punk, sixties rock n roll and a touch of RnB soul, with its own gentle smokiness. And yes, Bella is King Khan’s daughter. That’s should be all you need to know.
The last (and only) time Human Toys played Glasgow, the show ended in a fiery debacle, with the venue turning the power off, the band continuing to play through the amps, and remonstrations on all sides in a Metallic KO fashion. Will lightning strike twice? Buy a ticket and find out, cheapskates!
Human Toys is a garage punk duo from Paris. Wild frontwoman Poupée Mecanik (vocals, theremin) subverts sexism with irony and humor. The arrival of emblematic guitarist Jon Von, ex-Rip Offs and Jon and the Vons, has transformed the band with a 100% new punk rock set, somewhere between the Ramones and the Avengers!
Formed in 2010 on top of a dirty fried chicken shop on Holloway Road, MFC Chicken play raw, sax-fuelled rock and roll tunes about fast food and broken hearts. If you love dancing but hate contemporary music… if you are desperate to hear rock'n'roll taken back to its roots…
… if you are hungry for the greasiest item on the rhythm and blues dance menu , then you are most definitely ready for the indescribable, unstoppable sound of MFC Chicken - the best in the land!
Japan has always produced the most exciting punkrock’n’roll bands and the Let’s Go’s are the true torch-bearers of a lineage that includes Izumi Yukimura, Teengenerate, Guitar Wolf… In fact, Seiji from Guitar Wolf is the father of Sakura of the Let’s Go’s. With a heritage like that they just had to rock'n'roll!
