This is going to sell out so please get your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. Advance tickets available now from: heatwavemagazine.bigcartel.com
Protex is one of our favourite bands of all time, and we are privileged that they are flying from Belfast to headline the party. What can we tell you that you already don't know? They formed part of the first wave of Belfast punk bands along with the likes of label-mates The Undertones and Rudi. They have a new record and they are making the most of it and so will you, so do ring your friends up for this one!
Madrid residents Biznaga are playing for the very first time in London! "One of Spain’s greatest rock and roll bands, Llegales once said, “We are everything you say we are, and even worse.” BIZNAGA might share this motto if it weren’t for the fact that they don’t give a shit about rock and roll."- Slovenly Recordings. This is all true, and the fact - and sorry to some for the comparison – is that they remind us of a similar-but-different version of Spanish local heroes Eskorbuto just tops it all. They sing in Spanish but we don't care. Who can understand lyrics live after a couple of beers anyway!
The Randy Savages is a new punk band from London. You might say ‘Screeching out of a North London lock up on a stolen moped, The Randy Savages are the missing link between cheap speed and Cheap Trick.” We wish we had said that.
Made up of equal parts has beens and wannabes, they blur the lines between 70’s punk and 70’s glam with ALL feet stomping. True to punks ultimate DIY ethic not only did they play, record and produce all the tracks on their debut recording – they built the studio in two disused shipping containers in a top secret Camden Town location which definitely isn’t in guitarist Lloyd Loud’s garden. Not even close. On a mission to rid the current music scene of mediocre rock’n’roll clowns and punk rock clones The Randy Savages are a truck load of aural Viagra with more hooks than a St Trinians cloakroom.
“They’re randy and they’re savage; what's not to love about The Randy Savages” – Heatwave Magazine and Dirty Water Records.
