According to the 12 Bar Club website the venue is open from 7.30pm until 1am but I would guess that the first band is around 8.30pm with stage time times running every 45 minutes thereafter. So my best guess would be
8.30 -9.00pm Sister Mercedes (low fi accoustic one man singer/songwriter)
9.15 - 9.45 Tenebrous Liar
10.00 - 10.30 Cindytalk
10.45 - 11.15 Laymar
Laymar have some interviews (possibly after the gig) and a four hour drive home after so maybe they might want to play the third slot.

The Fly Mag (4 out of 5 flies)
‘In Strange Lines And Distances’ staggers from being the most thrilling thing you’ll hear for a long time (‘NU1’), to being daunting and at times terrifying (‘Swords’).
Audioscribbler 8 out of 10
‘instrumental’ and ‘experimental’. None of this really matters on an album this good, though.

"In Strange Lines and Distances" album release on TV Records 23/06/08 - Dark, ambient, melodic, instrumental rock.
-"If Sigur Ros were born to soundtrack the desolation of nature, Laymar were born to soundtrack the desolation of the inner city" MUSICOMH (9/10)
-"dense, brooding instrumental rock atmospherics, and there’s something deftly and naturally cinematic to all that occurs " AMERICANA UK (7/10)
-"tuneful phrases which weave playfully to draw you towards their personal vision of hell. Not for them the theatrical suggestion of the dark side, Laymar take you there through their music" BEARDED MAGAZINE
-"there’s a great deal of depth and texture being stuck together by these three lads" SUBBA-CUTCHA (7/10)
& Last FM
Tenebrous Liar
“Imagine Lift To Experience stuck in the eternal damnation their songs tried to escape from, but with a result more ashcan reality than spiritually vivid.” DROWNED IN SOUND
-"moody and intense, occasionally terrifyingly primal, country-blues soundscapings". TIME OUT
-“If Leonard Cohen brings a smile to your face and you are partial to a bit of low-fi then Tenebrous Liar is the band for you.” THE SUN
Cindytalk
A rare live performance from a band that's been making albums with friends and collaborators for the sake of art for almost 20 years. An abstract and minimal electronic set will intermingle with a partly improvised set of new material by a full band line-up, featuring singer Gordon Sharp alongside long-time Cindytalk drummer Paul Middleton, bass monster Gary Jeff, laptop obscurist Sherrill Crosby and new guitarist Daniel Knowler. Not to be missed.
