WIGSVILLE SPLIFFS - The Wigsville Spliffs are rollin’ into Cambridge for a rare show at the Man on the Moon. Formed back in the late 70’s the band played authentic 50’s style rockabilly and by the mid 80’s they had set the local scene on fire and become regulars at London’s infamous Klubfoot, playing with Restless, Guana Batz and Demented are Go amongst others. Fast forward to 2008, Wigsville Spliffs reform for a show stopping come back at the Bedlam Breakout Psychobilly Festival and follow that with a “jaw dropping” set at the Satanic Stomp festival in Germany in April 2009. With a harder and heavier sound and a new release imminent on the legendary Raucous Records the “spliffs” are back! If you’re a fan of rockabilly, psychobilly, or just love great music, come down and rock with the Wigsville Spliffs! www.myspace.com/wigsvillespliffsofficial
COWBOY AND THE CORPSE - Spooky, country infused psychobilly 4 piece from Wales who are influenced by the Meteors, Demented Are Go and Johnny Cash. www.myspace.com/cowboyandthecorpse

Hey Now Its On - Cambridge gigs: gig guide and more ! My friends the Lo-Fi have a new video for you... It was made to give you all the energy that you need ;)
ICH - Arguably the finest punk band to come out of East Anglia, they are deservedly headlining the Man on the Moon on Saturday 27th June. The last 5 years have seen this band become a local phenomenon and they’ve just secured a slot at the prestigious Rebellion punk festival in 2009. Mere words can’t describe their live performances, you have to see the band for yourself! ICH have been known to blow ageing punk bands off the stage and even incited stage diving at their unplugged gigs. With sharply observed lyrics and a barrage of guitars ICH’s punk anthems will have you punching the air and shouting along ‘til the cider runs out. www.myspace.com/ichcolchesterpunx
TONY REBELATION TRIO - Rocksteady rebel 3 piece band featuring Rebelation members old and new. A very rare and exciting opportunity for all ska and reggae fans featuring stripped down versions of Rebelation classics from their long career as kings of the UK ska scene. Definitely one not to be missed! www.myspace.com/rebelationuk

No deep, meaningful, dark, what the fuck was that all about lyrics, just in your face, this is how I feel about it ones!! OVERLOAD- Cambridge based Street Punk/Oi Kings these guys leave you in no doubt what they think and feel, from the first chord to the last Drum beat singer Teo shows you the bands passion and drive an explosive performance always, last chance to see them in Cambridge for a while so Do not miss em CRIMINALS OF STEREO- a four piece ska/punk/rock outfit from Peterborough. Combining upbeat sounds of ska with a harder edged hint of punk, their exciting and experimental sound is hard to pigeonhole and with the Hypnotic vocals of Bibi these guys need to be seen MISPELT 2.0- This band is a prime example of why you should never be afraid to shuffle the pack and try to deal out a new winning hand.Now a hard hitting four piece with Gen and Dunk sharing vocal duties these guys Blast thru catchy upbeat punk rock song after song and you will LOVE em from Junkfood generation to Petrol bomb they deliver Don’t Miss em

DEADLINE - A rare up close and personal opportunity to see one of the UK / Europe’s biggest punk bands IN A PUB!! Deadline features what are probably the best female vocals to be found in Punk Rock! It’s hard to find a rival to Liz’s powerfully warm, spine-tingling vocals. With hundreds of European shows, 2 American tours, countless UK gigs and 5 full length albums released worldwide. Deadline are an experienced live act and have really gained a reputation for their live performances! They have played everywhere, from small pub backrooms to crowds of thousands, from New York to Berlin. Deadline have played with Rancid, Lars Frederickson & Dropkick Murphys to name but a few. Make sure you catch them live when they play Cambridge!
