Jamm

Musical turns from The Loves, The Mai 68s, King And The Olive Fields, and Funsize Lions. All under the watchful eye of ringmaster Simon Love, who will be the compere for the entire evening. We’re making him wear a top hat.

Live Bands —

The Loves
Legendary psych-pop collective from Cardiff, who fuse Nuggets-style garage pop, bubblegum fuzz, sugar sweet indiepop, and hand-clapping, hip-shaking rock’n’roll. Favourites of Marc Riley and John Peel, for whom they recorded four sessions, including one live at Peel Acres, the band are fronted by Simon Love, whose “did-he-really-just-say-that?” style of stagecraft is entertainment itself.

The Mai 68s
Noise! Revolutionary chic! A stand up drummer! If Laetitia Sadier had fronted early Jesus And Mary Chain, they may have sounded a little like this Leicester foursome - ear-splitting yet full of poise, chaotic yet cool.

King And The Olive Fields
Philip Serfaty and a rotating cast of friends play swoonsome, literate indie pop festooned with ukuleles, cellos, banjos and the like. For fans of early Magnetic Fields, The Wave Pictures and Herman Dune.

Funsize Lions
Influenced by the B52s, Stereo Total and Le Tigre, Funsize Lions perform crystalline keening electropop sounds, songs that yelp and yammer over the downdraft, songs for dark mornings and airport terminals everywhere… for ever. They feature China Carolina, who is Piney Gir’s naughty cousin.

Further Live Performance —

A Small Orchestra. Led by Monster Bobby of Pipettes-fames, this 12-strong orchestra will open the show.
Lucienne Cole. Performance artist Lucienne Cole will perform “Dance To The Music”, in which she tapdances to “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” by The Smiths.
Mr Solo’s Projector Of Graphical Wonderment. Mr Solo, of David Devant And His Spirit Wife, will be doing something or other with his projector of graphical wonderment. We’re not entirely sure what this is, or what he plans to do with it.
