ZONINO 4.5

Event information

ZONINO 4.5...The monster party returns to save you from watching Bruce Springsteen in a swamp.

ACTION BEAT
In their own words, 'Action Beat are an improv noise/no-wave band which is often made up of musicians who are available to play the gig on any particular date. We sound quite like early sonic youth, Glenn Branca, Swans and Rhys Chatham. We normally have at least 4 guitarists, a bassist and between 1 and 4 drummers.' HELL. YES.

ALAN MX
Smalltown America described their new signing as a 'bedroom electro-pop wonderkid'. His lo-fi laptop funk is something to behold, and a show that once seen is never forgotten.

TIM TEN YEN
The Singing Salaryman (and his Sinister Cat) return to play songs from his first album, Everything Beautiful Reminds Me Of You. Guaranteed to get everyone dancing and singing along.

A SCHOLAR AND A PHYSICIAN
Having finally released their own single this year, A Scholar & A Physician bring what The Stool Pigeon described as 'sweetly comedic electro-indie that falls somewhere between Jeffrey Lewis and a riot in Dixons.' to the Zonino party.

PAGAN WANDERER LU
With this show, Pagan Wanderer Lu becomes the first act to properly play Zonino twice. Playing songs from his new album 'Fight My Battles For Me', Mr Lu's one-man 'indietronica' is truly engrossing. We're honoured to have him back.

THEIR HEARTS WERE FULL OF SPRING
Subbacultcha.com described the band as 'a joyous cacophony of guitars, glockenspiels, tambourines and kitchen sinks ... indie-pop is rarely this fresh, beautiful and heartfelt.' They're not too far off the truth.

THE HYSTERICAL INJURY
Bath's The Hysterical Injury use drums and bass to create an almighty racket that they say 'may or may not' sound like bands they like including Marnie Stern, Lightning Bolt, Swell Maps and Sonic Youth. You can decide for yourself.

PENNINES
Straight out of Norwich, (despite the name), Pennines have been compared to bands like Owls and Don Caballero, playing as they do wonderfully tight stop-start technical guitar wizardry. It promises to be a great start to the day.
