About this event
Plus the Heavy Bear! - Ice Baths are a band that sound as if they play music for themselves and don’t really mind if anyone else likes or gets it. Luckily, for anyone with good taste and a passion for guitar music, you will love Decadent Sprinter. This is a band that who appreciate and explore atmosphere, feeling and dynamics within the constructs of the ‘pop’ song. You could even call it post rock at times. The vocals don’t strain anything beyond a deep mumble, similar to David Gedge of The Wedding Present. Combine that with the driving drone of the drums and rhythm section, Ice Baths sound like latter day Wire. ICE BATHS have performed live on BBC Radio 6 (Tom Ravenscroft show) & released albums & EPs on London's Blank Editions label, alongside Thurston Moore, Housewives and Black Country, New Road as well as supporting the likes of Ulrika Spacek, Squid, Ditz, Drahla, FACS & Crack Cloud. Shaki Tavi is an indie shoegaze and alternative rock music project led by Los Angeles-based songwriter Leon Manson. The project has maintained a positive, underground reputation in the DIY music scene, particularly following the release of the sophomore album Minor Slip on the Felte record label.
