More Details
Tortrix
This local duo play juicy, revved up dancefloor techno, or, as they put it, "live acid, jungle, and imaginary PS2 game soundtracks". They consist of Skoo, whose fingerstyle guitar origins are now employed for strumming squelch bass on a MIDI guitar, and Nick, whose propensity for boring everyone with obscure boomer prog band trivia belies his ability with randomised breaks and submissive sub bass.
Memory Resident
Memory Resident began as a side project of London-based multi-instrumentalist James Skinner during the pandemic. Formerly playing in post-punk bands, James began using Memory Resident to explore electronic music, composing music both rich in ambient textures as well as tracks more on the dance music spectrum. Expect an ever-evolving live show where no two performances are the same!
The Octavia Freud/i4M2 Complex
We're bending our no-repeat approach to booking here, as both electropop prince Octavia Freud and glitch wizard i4M2 have played Gappy before, but we liked the sound of this collaboration so much we snuck them onto the bill. Octavia (AKA Martin) channels his inner Mark E Smith whist i4M2 (AKA Nick) brings his most banging beats. They describe their recent EP as "polemical cosmic grooves", noting that the project "combines elements of drone, post-punk, glitchy electronics and FX laden lyrics to create a psychedelic soundtrack to class conscious themes and caustic view of humankind in peril".
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.
