More Details
Jokers Parade
You may have seen Ollie Bichard on the Gappy stage recently as part of Masterdog, but we have him back with Jokers Parade, a band who have been on ice for a while but have returned in all their theatrical glory. They deal in sprightly hard rock, nice and weighty but with a punky playfulness on the top. Oh, and the clown make-up they wear might be only slightly traumatising for the rest of your life.
Zeroz
We don't often have acts on from places as far-flug as Portland Oregon, but that is precisely from where Zeroz are bringing their Kinder Egg anime-obsessed micro-grunge on a European tour. They are by turns cute, wiry, aggressive, and just a little bit silly. "If The Breeders and Pinback had a baby inside a battered computer server that developed a serious case of the feels and binge-watched anime from within its own internal eye, it might sound something like Zeroz" Melodic Magazine; Glitchy soundscapes and bold alt-rock tendencies, with supernatural vocals, charged-up, noisy guitar riffs and busy drum arrangements" Rock Era Magazine
MANNERS
We had the fantastic GIGSY on at a recent GTI, as well as at the 2024 edition of In A Different Place, and now we are hosting her regular collaborator, MANNERS. The approach is similar, a melding of dark-hearted electronic intensity with bright, brash ultrapop vocals, but Manners tends to move a little more towards the party end of the spectrum, slinky where GIGSY is spiky. "Inspired by personal struggles, relationships, and the moody, genre-defying aesthetics of artists like Billie Eilish, UPSAHL, and MOTHICA, MANNERS' music exists in a space where vulnerability meets grit" The Indie Grid
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.
