Fresh off the back of the new EP ‘Evolve or Die’ being released, local 3 piece Tigercub are playing one of their biggest and hotly anticipated gigs ever.

CLT DRP @ Bau Wow
Electro-punk trio CLT DRP are creating something genuinely exciting and refreshing as it’s something most listeners would find hard to assign to a clear genre. This is only a fact due to the three evidently knowing what they want to sound like, how to get it and revel in the pleasure of not knowing where it is going to take them from there.

Murmur w/ Heavy Hearts, Lightcliffe + Grymm @ Green Door Store
Murmur are a grunge band born in East Staffordshire, currently based in Brighton. Calling fans of dirty guitar, distortions and drones, this outfit is driven by tight and hard beats.

The Pure Conjecture w/ Brother Twain @ The Hope and Ruin
Fusing an arsenal of expensive chords with sly self-deprecation and unpredictable lyrical left-turns, The Pure Conjecture posses a charming individuality which is both at odds with and wholly impervious to current musical trends. There are not many groups – in the UK, at least – genuinely mining the same seam that gave us Solomon Burke’s ‘Don’t Give Up On Me’, and the Daptone label, for instance.
“Anything up to 10 folk from various different groups standing in a circle formation in a recording studio pretending they’re on ‘Live From Daryl’s House’.” – Matt Eaton.

Count Kujo w/ Hush + Alex And The Expensive Sh!t @ Green Door Store
‘Unity through Diversity’ is the underlying ethos powering Count Kujo. This time round they are celebrating their latest release: ‘Kujo In Dub’- A Reggae/Dub album influenced by the roots and culture movement in Jamaica from the 1970s. One might not expect a “jazz” band to delve into reggae like this, but it is done in recognition of the Jamaican influence on Jazz and vice-versa. And of course, honouring the root concept of the over-arching project, ‘unity through diversity’.
Gig The Green Door Store on Sunday 21st of Jan this 8 piece group will be performing this music – everyone’s invited. Grab a ticket for this gig, the line up will be dope.
