More Details
Bedd
Definitely one of the best bands to have arisen in Oxford in recent years, Bedd feature the vocals and songwriting of Jamie Hyatt (The Family Machine, Medal, The Daisies), but the rest of band are no slouches either, every song a micro-meisterwerk of intricate quirky pop. "Toy instruments and a musical saw counter Jamie Hyatt's dry delivery, creating a mood which is both sweeping and intimate" Songwriting Magazine. "Delicately, understatedly lovely" - Nightshift Tracks of The Yeay article for 'Paulie's A Bum'.
Apples And Apples
We never quite managed to book this band whilst one of their number was a student in Oxford, but it's never too late, and they're travelling from London to be with us, bringing their ornate little songs with them. A little bit of folk, a little bit of synth, a little nuzzle on the couch between an acoustic guitar and a drum machine: it's like dreampop made in the warm corner snug of a friendly pub.
Rabbitface
Rabbitface doesn't have too much online at the moment, but Jay (as he's known offstage) is blessed with a supple emotirock voice which can leap from intimate breathy croons to powerful growling crescendos in a fashion which brings to mind Jeff Buckley. This will definitely be a "saw them there first" type of gig.
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.
