WASTEYOURSELF & GRINGO RECORDS PRESENTS:

Floodit - An evening of live music & screen printing at The Art Organisation with:

Live Music from:

SOE'ZA - www.myspace.com/soeza
Soeza are strung out between Bristol and various points on the M4 corridor. The have a soulful, danceable sound made up of male / female vocals and French Horn over two drummers, jazzy bass and guitar. They wouldn't go amiss on Dischord, but call Gringo their home and recently released a new album called “7 Obstacles”.

THE WAILINGEST CATS - www.myspace.com/thewailingestcats
The Wailingest Cats are a well dressed, dapper, devilish Bristol Pop Group if ever there was one. A cinematic shake down of rockin' ramshackle, doom-jazz hell-bebop. Hard, angular guitars, hip rhythms, crushing keys, muscular bass and sax are deployed with beautific decorum. Howl.

SPIN SPIN THE DOGS - www.myspace.com/spinspinthedogs
Four handsome boys playing a Contortions, Jesus Lizard, Gang of Four, Monorchid kinda jerkiness albeit stripped of any macho connotations but yet still absolutely rocking. New 12” out on Gringo soon!

DJ Peter Parker aka Parkatron (www.fingathing.com)
