Two more gigs for GEEK MAGGOT BINGO before the year ends.
1. THE BONNEVILLES + GEEK MAGGOT BONGO + THE RAG 'N' BONE MAN
The Leith Franklin Academicals Cricket Club Leith Links EH6 7QR.
Doors open at 7PM.
Only £3 to get in and astoundingly cheap drinks all night!
It's been two years since The Bonnevilles played Edinburgh and now they're back with new material from their latest album, Folk Art And The Death Of Electric Jesus (on 20 Stone Blatt Records). "A neat collection of primal electrified noise featuring lyrics that hark way back to the god-fearing era of Robert Johnson, Son House et al." 8/10 Vive Le Rock "Imagine a two-headed fuzz delta garage punk fusion that comes on like an incestuous relationship between The Black Keys and The Jon Spencer Blues channeled via Rory Gallagher, Howlin' Wolf and Willie Dixon." 8/10 More Than Music http://thebonnevilles.co.uk/
Supported on the night by...
GEEK MAGGOT BINGO "Take one Acid Fascist, two Babylon Dub Punks and an Outcast and what do you get? A hard core banging rock and roll band, an amazing set and a crowd refusing to leave without an encore." http://evadestruction1.wordpress.com/2012/11/26/18/
THE RAG 'N' BONE MAN "The Rag N Bone Man is a one man band from the bowels of Scotland. Amped up explosive adrenaline fuelled, one man band brutal trash blues. Erupting slide guitar and howling harmonica riffs, spitting torrents of raw vocals you could hear over a working ship yard. Dark hilarious tales of alcoholism, drugs, politics and seduction. A noise propelled by pounding drum beats and cymbals, a sheer racket so loud and dangerous it should carry a government health warning. The Rag N Bone Man sound is a wave from the future at the same time being a ferocious blast from the past. A sound more addictive than sex and every bit as mind blowing."
Presented by Parlour Promotions
