  3. OIB Present: VASHTI BUNYAN at St Georges Church, Brighton !!!

  We're really excited about this one as not only does VASHTI BUNYAN not perform very often but we're hosting the Brighton show in one of our favourite venues of all time St Georges Church. Having influenced many generations since the release of her debut album in 1970 Vashti Bunyan has remained a key symbol of the left-field folk scene (both Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom cite Vashti as a key influence) while simultaneously disappearing off the face of the musical planet for over thirty years. more

  4. OIB Present - A bleak Christmas weekender with LIGHTNING BOLT and OM !!!

  Returning almost 12 months after their insane and completely sold-out OIB Records show at the Engine Room LIGHTNING BOLT are back for another brutal assault, this time at Audio on Friday December 11th. My ears have only just stopped ringing since last time!
  And if that it's not enough noise to carry you through these dark and cold winter nights how's about a Sunday night of the most downbeat gut-rumbling stoner doom on the planet courtesy of OM (featuring Al Cisneros of doom originators SLEEP)! THIS IS THEIR ONLY UK HEADLINE SHOW !!! more
