ELKS

Event information

Wakefield record labels Geek Pie Records, Louder than Bombs Records and Philophobia Music, along with Wakefields finest DIY fanzine 'The Rhubarb Bomb' have only gone and hired a coach to bring themselves and their bestest friends to capital city to play at the wonderful 'The Windmill' in Brixton. Supported by local legends 'Elks' they promise to provide a Wakey-style mash up of the highest order. The lineup is as follows:

ELKS (London)
Post-indie with a sense of atmosphere and fine melodrama. Elks have music available though The Great Outdoors and Unlabel.
With gentle giant guitars, Bonham-esque drumming and two singers with schizophrenic vocals, Elks music lulls you one minute and screams obscenities in your face the next…

PISKIE SITS (Wakefield)
Piskie Sits' racket is fuelled by a love of US slacker noisenik pioneers of the 80s/90s (Pavement, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur JR, Sebadoh, Breeders), their Scottish equivalents (JAMC, Teenage Fanclub, Vaselines) and classic English pop artists such as D. Bowie and Blur.

RUNAROUND KIDS (Wakefield)
Bristling fuzz-rockers with a shoegaze slant.
'A cocktail of shuffling subtle, lowlit jazz, set against whirring, churning shoegaze, with punk-rock somewhere in the middle. Runaround Kids are the best new band in Wakefield'- Rhubarb Bomb

CHAT NOIR (Wakefield)
