THE BEST LIVE MUSIC FOR THE MONTH AHEAD
So, what has become apparent to me whilst compiling this list is that the only people (mostly) who can be bothered to play shows in January are old folk guys and metal bands. Clearly, too ROCK to STOP. Anyway, not to stereotype or anything but expect to see beer bellies and Buffalo boots in their droves. Tere’s a sprinkling of hard rock and a dusting of pop but tbh there ain’t much (but there IS some) to fist pump to. I plan to jump off the wagon and spend the month in a sherried stupor while the rest of you dry up your Januarys and hit the gym for the first time in 11 months.
You can basically hibernate until 10th Jan, then you can run straight down to NACto letSam Green and Te Midnight Heist + Feral Mouthprovide you with fun times and more.
On the11th,Te First + Call It Reckless + Standing Tallmake an appearance atTe Waterfront Studio.Apparently Te First, hailing from Wisbech have a “powerful and mature sound”. What does that even mean?
Hip Hatchet is the name of a man and he is playing with Blood BirdatTe Bicycle Shopon the14th. Hip (LOL) is from Portland, Oregon, that place where they liven up sad tote bags with appliqued birds. You know the place? Anyway, that makes me like him plus also, apparently “his lyrics are masterful”. Goodness. Quite the accolade.
On the19thyou can check outTe Blackout w/ Rat Attack + LostAloneat the Waterfront then get a couple of days rest before adissonant (in a good way I guess) melting pot of metal, punk and reggae from old favesSkindred.Tat’s with Soil & Vizaat theUEAon the22nd.
IT’S NOT POP, IT’S METAL.
GRAVY’S TRACK OF THE MONTH ‘PAINTED’ BY
THE SOFT
SoMax Raptor are good for a party time and they return to Norwich to play with Fort Hope + Making Monsters atTe Waterfront Studioon the15th.
John Galeaplays pop music and was born in Norfolk, which means we have to like him or whatever. He’s been working with big time producers and brings his musical wares toTe Waterfront Studioon the 18th.
Loads more metal at theKind Edward VII on the24thfeat.Te Infernal Sea / Te Projectionist / Verdelet /
Nervewrecker.Nervewrecker, is that a good name or a bad name? One thing we can be sure of is that it is a name.
IT’S NOT POP IT’S DEATHCORE.
On the25thme and my grrrls gots a show atNAC. It’s aGravy Recordsshowcase.
Bringing their visceral punk rock we have the 100%
incredible God Damn.Tese boys are
seriously going somewhere. In support we haveTere’s Someone In Te Pond, Bad Grammarand special acoustic sets from BUOYS(that’s my pop band) and Keep Up.Tis is big time exciting.
Now, what better way to mark Independent Venue Weekthan to combine the history of a beautiful medieval church with the most contemporary and interesting new
Gentlemen’s Dub Club
electronic music from this part of the country? Tat’s right, there ain’t none. Spectro curates an explosive line up at NACon the28thfeat.Te Soft, Mammal Hands, Te Boy With Two Headsand
Unix.Deejays too.
Country duoMy Darling Clementineplay NACon the30th.Teir promo pic looks like it was taken in a brothel so that’s good enough reason as any to check them out. Am I right?
Tere’s some experimental jangling going on up theUEAin the form of Sonic Arts No.79- A Tousand Twanglingthat features theSonic Arts Guitar Ensemble. Intriguing. Or impenetrable. Definitely interesting.
Party boyzGentleman's Dub Clubcome back to Norwich. Again. CatchSolkoand Te Piratonesopen the show atOpenon the 31st.
Why not finish up a month of metal, reggae and folk with some post-punk? Tat makes sense.Te Monochrome Set playNACon the31st.Tey’ve influenced, like, loads of bands and I think they might have magnificent haircuts too but I can’t be sure.
Nice one mate, all the best.
