BACKSTREETS XI featuring an as ever awesome line-up of music, drunken DJs and a good time Friday night vibe.
GRINGO STAR (Atlanta, GA)
Southern rocking psych garage boys on first UK tour, taking a night off from supporting Black Lips. Their debut album 'All Y'All' was released to critical acclaim a few months back and they were one of CMJs buzz bands this year. This is one act you won't forget in a while.
'A little scuzzy, a little jangly and a lot awesome.' Blender
'an exuberant rush of early Kinks guitars, tambourines, handclaps, multi-part harmonies, and bits of tinkly piano, all catchy.' Pitchfork
'With their excellent debut album, All Y'all, this Atlanta garage-rock band validate the CMJ buzz.' Spin.com

FORMER CELL MATES (Sunderland)
This band from the North-East are made up of ex-members of Leatherface, the Coyote Men, and the Golden Virgins. They mix elements of the Replacements to the more classical sounds of Motorhead or Thin Lizzy to deliver a soulful yet punkish experience. Their second album ‘Who’s Dead and What’s to Pay?’ is out on Household Name Records.
