ICH - At last the wait is nearly over! ICH are back. Arguably the finest punk band to come out of East Anglia, they are (finally) headlining the Man on the Moon on Saturday 21st June. Their influences are too numerous to mention (but Crass and Rancid are definitely in there) and mere words can’t describe their live performances. ICH have been known to blow ageing punk bands off the stage and even incited stage diving at their unplugged gigs. At Strawberry fair 2007 they even made hippies look happy! 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
