Screaming Tea Party
Ghost Club
Minisnap
The European


We've teamed up with STOLEN RECORDINGS to present the most cosmopolitan of bills that starts of with a pop and then at half-time turns into a celebration of noise. Headlining are uber-hip and in-demand Screaming Tea Party with two very special sets of guests from New Zealand in the form of Ghost Club's last ever London show and a rare appearance in the northern hemisphere from Minisnap who count three members pf the legendary Bats in their numbers.

SCREAMING TEA PARTY (London)
SCREAMING TEA PARTY werre named by many you as the best band that played the Windmill last year. Now they're back, stronger than ever before and swooned over by NME and just about every music/style paper.
A three headed beast of energy, their live shows are chaos and beauty. - THE INDEPENDENT
Complex in their simplicity and a nexus of electricity reminiscent of Sonic Youth having sex with a bulldozer. - DROWNEDINSOUND
they switch continually between scribbling punkabilly and utterly stripped- down lo-fi, with magical results. -ROUGH TRADE
Screaming Tea Party are a band you’re gonna think you discovered when you were 13. They pack in snippets of every record you’ve ever owned, and sound like a sloppy first kiss that precedes a punch in the teeth, without sounding dated or cliched. - DAZED AND CONFUSED

GHOST CLUB (London)
David Mitchell and Denise Roughan were both members of hugely popular psych-pop band The 3Ds, on the legendary New Zealand Flying Nun label. In 1996 David and Denise formed Ghost Club in Dunedin, New Zealand, relocated to London the following year where they hooked up with Jim Abbott to unveil the darker beast that is Ghost Club. Over the past decade they've made some great records, none more so than the current 'Suicide Train' (Hellsquad Records), but alas, they're going back to New Zealand and this is their last ever UK show!

MINISNAP (New Zealand)
