More Details
The Subtheory
The Subtheory is a synth-based dark trip hop project founded by composer, writer, DJ and producer, Andy Hill. It's expanded over the last few years to include Cate Debu on vocals, George Lambourne on Bass and Pat Scott on Lead Guitar. The Subtheory's evocative music paints pictures and creates a perfect atmospheric backdrop to support other media such as song, tv, film, podcast and gaming. "Like a black orchid it blooms darkly and brilliantly" Nightshift. "The Subtheory have really hit the spot with the rich, cinematic synth-alt-rock of Sophistry" Trust The Doc
Morwell
Resident of Oxford and London bands in the late 90s and early 00s (Empty Vessels played a Gappy Tooth show in 2006), Morwell is now a solo electronic proposition based in the North East. In his live show, he explores the dark, immersive psychedelia of his new label Spiritual Transmissions: warped storytelling built from glitchy audio collage and low-end pressure. Spoken word collages culled from late-night YouTube sessions and archival interviews sit on shapeshifting blends of IDM, shoegaze, free jazz, and mutant club music. "Like radio signals from late night programs bouncing back and forth through time" Bandcamp best of Electronic. "A strangely post-human mash-up of contemporary culture's disparate strands ... a world of club-adjacent moroseness narrated by a hundred scattered ghosts" The Quietus.
Lord Bug
Lord Bug is the stage moniker of Libby Peet, Oxford student and one of the most original and spellbinding songwriters in the city. "Lord Bug's songs are sparse and idiosyncratic, more like half-remembered dreams than pop tunes [...] Libby Peet's vocals lift them to spellbinding new places, her voice warm and jazzy yet introspective and mysterious, and her delivery full of wonderful slurs and rubati, so that she comes off like a strange melding of Amy Winehouse and Lou Barlow. For an act with a track called 'Dog's Dinner' this is a beautiful and balanced set." Nigthshift
DON'T BE AN ARSE
Our gigs are often highly eclectic, so there might be a wide variety of punters in our little venue. We want everyone to have a good time, so relax, express yourself and have a good gig, but be thoughtful of other people and don't ruin their night with your fun. Basically, just be considerate and nice, and everyone will be happy.
Naturally, anyone who is actively aggressive, or who abuses anyone else on the grounds of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, Monster Munch flavour preference, or whatever the hell else might make a bigot irrationally angry, is out the door.
WE'LL DO OUR BEST TOO
In return, we'll make every effort to create a warm and pleasant environment, and we'll try our hardest to keep to the timetable (music starts at approximately 20.00, and will go on till about 22.15). Also, we've kept the door price as low as we can, but rest assured that GTI is a non-profit event, and all the money after expenses goes to the performers.
