Master Rhythm Studios 
19.45
£5.00 door (cash only), £3.00 advance
Please note
Alas, our good friends at Common Ground have been forced to close their doors briefly, so we cancelled our originally planned event (don’t worry, we’ll get Third House back later in the year).
But we don’t want to leave you without a Gappy fix, so we’ve teamed up with Master Rhythm, a rehearsal and recording studio in Cowley, for a relaxed little house party type gig, featuring Pasteboard Masks from our original line-up, and a few old chums. Advance tickets are super-cheap, there’ll be a tinny bar, and it promises to be a unique event (unless Master Rhythm decide to do it again, but if so, it was still us first, don’t forget that).
Entry is on Pound Way - staff will be on hand to give you access to Templars Square, and take you upstairs to the venue.

More Details
Santa Carla
Santa Carla are a band named after the town in brat-pack teen vampire classic The Lost Boys. Santa Carla are a band featuring the peerless goth-pop vocals of Laima Bite, with some of the musical nouse of local legend Martin Newton. Put these facts together and what you'll find is that they're essentially long-standing dark-groove Oxford favourites Mary's Garden with a slight smirk and a wink in the eye. Expect huge songs, vast 80s synths, and those rich smoky Laima vocals we love so much.
Matt Sewell
Prog-psych-indie-folk trio Charms Against The Evil have just released a wonderful new album, come and see leader Matt (and his epic paisley shirt).
Pasteboard Masks
Equally inspired by The Cleaners From Venus, The Beach Boys, and Sonic Youth. Expect unconventional song structures and dissonant chord progressions, with atmospheric shoegaze sonics adding texture to the intriguing guitar and vocal performances.
Ady Davey
Relaxed bluesy songs.
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.
