ZUN ZUN EGUI
Zun Zun Egui are based in Montpelier, Bristol but their individual members are from different parts of the world bringing together their musical heritage to produce an uplifting tropical thrash. Music that’s on the corner, off it’s head and a blast. They bring East African guitar frenzy, furious drums of dance, flipped Japanese prog and underground bassline disco fused with a strong rhythmic section to make a joyous tropical groove.

HOTBONE
This Manchester two piece describe their music as ‘Technicolour Holocaust Whirlwind Action’ and you know, that’s exactly right. Lightning fast distorted guitar and drums that sound like an arsenal, working in perfect unison. How can a two piece sound so loud? In addition there are animal masks, facial hair and a toy wind up clock wired up to maximum distortion!

THE WITCHES
“The Witches have got to be one of Manchester’s most interesting and avant-garde bands right now. There’s a chaos and at times a lot of distorted shouting. There is however a genius touch. The songs evolve, sometimes gently, sometimes suddenly, into focus. It may be a chorus with glorious four chord sequences or it might just be one occasional line of melody. It means their tunes occasionally surface from the stormy, intelligent fracas. ” – ManchesterMusic.com
“One of the most exciting dark horses on The Fly’s radar right now’ THE FLY Magazine
