Shrunken Head Promotions present “Nightmare on High Street” featuring a double headline gig with two bands who have caused mayhem together in the past.
The Three ‘N’ Eights bring their unique blend of ska-billy cowpunk tunes – here’s what three other promoters/reviewers said about them recently:
“… a little bit Rock ‘n’ Roll and a little bit Ska – They are entirely a bit bloody awesome” …. “a wild whirlwind of punk, ska, country, rock ‘n’ roll and celtic rock...that will sweep you off your feet ” …..”a band that thrives on chaos, colour and shared moments”
That all sums up the Three ‘N’ Eights experience nicely.
Rudebeard (according to their own bandcamp page so it must be true)…
“ specialise in energetic, sweaty, usually loud & occasionally thoughtful ska, fast ska, slow ska, ska-punk, ska that’s not really ska and one attempted Scottish fitba anthem cos why no?”
So basically for this gig we’ve put together two bands who play whatever style of music that takes their fancy in the moment – as fast as they can – but the one thing that is guaranteed from both of them is that they will get you moving and leave you and the whole place in a sweaty mess.
Kilmarnock's In the Plughole have now been added to the bill to open the night - and to give you an idea of what they'll bring to the party, here's a wee extract from a recent Reservoir Droogs review of a Plughole set: "Post punk is a broad umbrella term, but they would shelter under it with relative ease. There's some gothic tones, rockabilly/cow punk shadings, and a kitchen sink in the mix. That's a real kitchen sink being played, but not so much Einstürzende Neubauten and more Nyah Fearties as a reference point. A DIY accompaniment that works very well in the context of what they do."
All profits from the night will be donated to our chosen charities –and with both headline acts having offered to waive their fees, we hope this will be a great fundraiser for two amazing causes.
