More Details
Masterdog
Masterdog is a new band featuring Rus, guitarist from Phyal, Komrad, and a whole bunch of other great Oxford heavy noiseniks. As you might imagine, their sound is built around stoner grooves and grunge workouts, with just the right balance of humour and menace. This is a rebooking of a cancelled show in mid-2023.
Iran Iran
Iran Iran is a band – or, as they put it, "riff-delivery system" - from Bristol, who trade in filling-loosening math/noise rocking. "A punch blitzkrieg frenzy" Tap the Feed; "Laced with intricate guitar patterns, a plethora of bizarre pedals and a solid rhythm section creating accessible grooves over complex guitar noodles [...] There is no time to get bored when listening to Iran Iran as they take you on an ever evolving musical hjourney" Alt Dialogue
i4M2
I4M2 is a new project from Nick Peel, well known to GTI audiences and Oxford's rifferati as He Didnt. This is a new project, which is as hypnotic as his other work, but which brings street beats, samples and distortion together in 3-minute cuts. The vibe is textured whilst remaining minimal, and sounds like the submerged ruins of euphoric dance-pop tunes, with a slight Seefeel vibe.
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.
