MILKY
WIMPSHAKE are a passionate punk band from Newcastle
Upon Tyne. The band formed in the early 1990s as part of the Slampt Underground
organisation, a label and arts umbrella that supported many of the best UK DIY
acts including The Yummy Fur, Pussycat Trash, Red Monkey and personal
favourites Bette Davis & The Balconettes. Milky Wimpshake play love songs
for punk rockers, protest tunes, covers of Northern Soul classics, and some new
classics of their own. Characterised by Pete Dale’s wry lyrics and playful,
direct guitar riffs, Milky Wimpshake are true stalwarts and legends of the
underground and have recorded several ‘personal vs political’ albums in recent
times for the mighty Fortuna Pop imprint. This show celebrates the 20th
anniversary of their 100% brilliant debut album 'Bus Route To Your Heart',
times flies!
ROBERT
SOTELO intends to channel ‘Ram’-era McCartney
without the chops, at once intimate and ambitiously layered pop music garnished
in naive sincerity. Attempting to push beyond limited means, towards the absurd
and abundant idea that recreating the feel and sound of The Beatles remains
paramount an objective, the entire project rests on the uncertainty and
confusion of mid-thirties existentialism and the exploration of the individual
post-social life. Accompanied by a host of friends this initial performance
will use the recorded compositions as a template on which Sotelo may attempt to
draw out and utilise the individual merits of each musician to reconfigure and
sensualise the jams. Sotelo’s astonishing debut album ‘Cusp’ will be released
through Upset The Rhythm later this year.
THE
PLAN harness unruly beats and stamp sweet vocal
harmonies all over them. Post-punk in origins but evolving and revolving, its
members have previously appeared in bands like Wetdog, Private
Trousers and Vic Goddard's Subway Sect, and all live by the sea in sunny
Southend.
