More Details
Slow Lane
Slow Lane are an alternative rock band from Oxford who originally formed under the name The Girls to play a college open mic in the early summer of 2024 and immediately noticed a chemistry between the 4 members. A few months later, they began writing, and have been going ever since, regularly gigging and continuing to write songs showcasing influences such as Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins and Jeff Buckley. "[Slow Lane] bring shoegaze fuzz and just a dash of Stone Roses swagger to their chunky rock" Nightshift
Life In Mono
Life In Mono are a Bristol-based, dark and immersive band with sounds blending grunge, alt-rock and post-rock. All bristling with atmosphere, and drawing influences from Brutus, Portishead, Deftones and PJ Harvey. The band already have Radio 1 play under their belt and their recent single "Basic Reality" was a Spotlight BBC Introducing track.
Gross Domestic Product
Gross Domestic Product is a new project from John Jackson, of GTI alumni King Panic. Although the songs are eloquent and approachable, they address, assess and act as therapy for an abusive homelife in John's past (and even as we type this we get the joke in the act name – nope, we're not quick on the uptake). Expect emotion, healing, and a little bit of trumpet.
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.
