Hot
off the heels of the release of their critically acclaimed debut album
‘Worldwide’ on Ninja Tune / Counter Records,
The Death Set bring their spazzy electro-punk back
to Brighton for one night of chaos. The band always choose to play
at crowd level as to get everyone involved, so expect a riotous evening
of flailing limbs, electro beats and searing punk rock. Support comes
from new Witchita signings Lovvers,
who make snotty, raw punk-rock that’s infected with demandingly
danceable hooks. Second support is our very own post Help She Can’t
Swim emo-core artist Lonely Ghosts
who will be playing a very special show to commemorate the release
of his debut album that week.

Part
of the Baltimore Whamcity artist collective (along with Dan Deacon),
Ponytail are an American
rock group formed in January 2005 through the off chance meeting of
souls as chosen randomly by poet Jeremy Sigler. Knowing nothing of
each other Ponytail first started their relationship as infants, with
their first years being musically chaotic, feeding on exhaustion,
border-lining on retardation, yet ultimately pop related. Through
touring and sharing ideas with close musical friends the band began
to hone their interests keeping the writing process as far from structured
as possible, often creating huge amounts of tension but producing
an extremely unique environment that is rarely seen in music. Musically,
the band creates genre flipped music crossing the standard rock band
aesthetic with the worlds of new age, ska, psychedelia, Afro-pop and
concrete poetry. Much like the Animal Collective jamming with Deerhoof!
Yes it’s that good!

Support
comes from OIB Records faves Gentle,
Friendly who are a two piece noise-pop outfit from
Birmingham, England. What do they put in the water up there? First
Fuck Buttons and now Gentle, Friendly, there are some seriously monged
out kids in Brum! Combining driving hypnotic drums with delicate over-driven
guitar harmonies, lo-fi almost twee vocals, and multi-layered tape
noise, Gentle, Friendly create a beautiful racket which is all of
their own. Like a fuzzy pop version of the Liars recording in Tim
Hecker’s studio.

To
call YACHT a band is
to dramatically miss the point, rather YACHT is the genre-and-meida-spanning
life project of Jona Bechtolt, previously 50% of The Blow, Little
Wings, and Devendra Banhart’s band. Bechtolt and new member
Claire L. Evans (Weirdo Begeirdo, Thunder Sundress, The World Court)
make anthemic power jams, play them backwards and soak them in nearly-psychedelic
cherry cola. YACHT’s heart however is in his live shows: uncluttered,
inspired sessions of damaged dance moves and synchronized crowd-waving,
backed by constantly changing elements, PowerPoint presentations,
audience Q&A sessions, and shamanistic video environments. “Being
indie rock’s Timberland ain’t easy!” – VIBE

Johnny
Foreigner are a three piece indie-noise-pop
band from Birmingham who write perfect emo-pop ditties for people
who like the same bands as they do. Before signing ‘proper’
to Best Before Records they released two now sold-out 7”s on
Laundrette Records. Their debut album ‘Waited Up ‘Til
It Was Light’ was released in June to mass critical praise,
the underground now waits with baited breathed for Johnny Foreigner
to undoubtedly rise as the undisputed new kings of the indie world.

Dananananaykroyd
are a six piece post-rock and Fugazi influenced avant-rock collective
from Glasgow. Following sold-out singles with Moshi Moshi and Jealous,
and a critically acclaimed EP on Holy Roar, Dananananaykroyd are scheduled
to release with debut proper with Best Before Records.

*The
capacity of the Prince Albert pub is just 125 so this is definitely
going to be the last opportunity to see this band play a venue
of this size. Buying advance tickets is highly recommended.
