This Obscene Baby Auction presents
BRONZE
SUH KEI DA
COWTOWN

Some full on Belgian mid week action tonight. Bronze come on a ferry from Hechtel, which if you don't know,is the epicentre for excellence and good naturedness in all of the good god world. Bronze's music reflects this by being sweetly melodious and catchy yet soothing and proper-rocking all at once. Sometimes they use two basses sometimes just bass, drums and guitars. Intricateness leads to Chicago-er comparisons like Don Cab or Dianogah and epic tunes make GodspeedYou Black Emperor and Mogwai remindings. They are well good.

Suh Kei Da have a name difficult to remember how to spell. Maybe their music will reflect that? They are also from Belgium and apparantly rock very hard in the post-genre. No doubt utterly super and enthrawling.Lets fucking go.

Cowtown are from Leeds and play mangled pop. It's complex but always catchy and they change it all the time. Why? It does get better. No vocals most of the time, great riffs and 'hooooks' all the time. They jump around on pigeon-holes like surf, deerhoof, devo,etc. No one doesn't like it. Especially those with a couple of ears and humour sense.

Gig will start at 8pm so why not go fill up on nice food and drink at Coconut Cafe on Welton Rd in HydePark beforehand. If you are Vegan you will pass out at the range of things to chomp. If you like meat there is good meat. Open from 4.. see elsewhere in this here book here for details.

Cops and robbers present:

Best Fwends
Printed Circuit
Jean Genet

A night of the electronic persuasion that promises a high level of entertainment coupled with the opportunity to dance. It features:Best fwends, whose anti-pop music has been described as “a mess of nasty cheap casio styled beats, old school synths, and distorted vocals made by two musical idiot savants from Texas”. Like all the best US acts these days they have a penchant for performing in their underpants with taped up faces and for eschewing the stage which naturally adds to the spectacle.

You can also see the homespun “Gloriously bright and breezy electro-pop” of printed circuit who, now operating as a duo, are still stupefying their friends with tales of their recent ‘world tour’.

Scantily clad neon queer girl/boy duo, Jean Genet are keyboard lovin disco dancin lo-fi hos, playing a shoddy brand of punk electro. Some think they're filth, in reality they're just sexually frustrated.
