    SuperFi and LonkLonkLonk present:



    Mob Rules hear here. - These four vile men are unrivalled in the UK right now for their intensity, speed, hatred, aggression, weirdness, la la la. A genuine spectacle guaranteed to bring a sweet release from your inner conflicts and struggles. New 7" out now on SuperFi records. Think MITB, No Comment etc.

    Caricatures - Sheer doom overload. New Bristol band featuring ex Mea Culpa.

    Team Brick - Local treasure. Always a treat. Witness a man banish his innermost demons for real.

    NLF, Soe'za & Bozz Jatch

    The Cube, Bristol
    This Friday, 14th November
    Doors 7.30pm
    £4 advance, £5 on the door
    (Tickets available from Here Shop and Bristol Ticket Shop)

    NLF3
    http://www. myspace. com/nlf3

    Formed in Paris in 2000, NLF3 create music is cyclical, textured, halfway
    between movie scores and psychedelic transgression. The band cites influences
    such as Alice Coltrane, Fela Kuti, This Heat, Can and the early Sonic Youth
    while mixing a lot of electronics together with a wide variety of instruments :
    amplified kalimba, electric guitars and bass, drums, percussions, vocals.

    SOE'ZA
    http://www. myspace. com/soeza

    Soe'za are currently a seven-piece band, hailing from points along the M4
    corridor, from Bristol to London. With a somewhat unorthodox line-up of two drum
    kits, two electric guitars, bass, French horn, Soe'za mix Can-esque grooves, and
    urgent guitars with two disparate yet complimentary singers in the shape of Ben
    Owen's clear-voiced declarations and Jenny Robinson's soulful melodies.

    BOZZ JATCH
    http://www. myspace. com/bozzjatch

    Featuring current and ex members of Soeza, The Wailingest Cats and Zun Zun Egui,
    Bozz Jatch are an experimental swing trio. Rumbling double bass and intricate
    drums give way to complex guitar lines and smooth croons. Yielding a unique pop
    sound that marries diverse influences; from Django Reinhart and Charles Mingus
    through to the elaborate tapestries of Steve Reich and Tortoise.

    BROKEN ARM
    - four dudes from Leeds making garage-rock filled with killer bozo riffs. Their first Bristol show and part of their first tour, they will have their brand new debut EP available at the show, which has come out on Liverpool's Sea records. Members of Broken Arm have previously been in Sailors (gringo), Static Waves, Woman (sea) and Like a Kind of Matador (tumult). Now that's pedigree.




    FRINGES
    - new band from Bristol with members of Soeza, Line, Headfall and ex-Scarecrows and ex-Murder of Rosa Luxemburg. More sweet pedigree. A tight, jagged, uncluttered, direct sorta sound made by clean-cut squares and scruffy slacks. They are a quartet, with two guitars, saxophone and drums, they keep it instrumental.




    COREY ORBISON
    - play abrasive, messy, short-sharp, stop-start songs about our cold cold world. Members also in Headfall and involved with the very excellent Local Kid thing.
    Check the new tracks up on their myspace!
