The Chap
+ La Batterie
Wednesday 3rd June
Guided Missile Presents
The Chap pursue the surreal, am-dram stage attitude with zeal, but back it up fearlessly with an arsenal of infectious, upside-down pop.
Comparisons with Devo will be made, and while they perhaps share a soul and a mutual sense of determined oddity, The Chap’s output is more erratic and frenzied than Devo’s streamlined weirdness.

Flamingods
+ The Comet Is Coming
Friday 12th June
Baba Yaga’s Hut
Snippets of music from countries far and wide, but mainly Africa, the Middle East and the Far East. Only you can’t quite place the sources of the fragments or “samples”, giving an already exotic sound an extra-otherworldly aura. How could we have missed this group? They’re quite something. They began a few years back as a bedroom project started by Kamal Rasool, and now he’s got four friends on board, though they’re about as far from the band-as-gang template as you can get. – Guardian

Andrew Jackson Jihad
+ Hard Girls
Friday 19th June
Pink Mist
Arizona folkpunks Andrew Jackson Jihad return to the UK to tour “Christmas Island” their fifth proper album and the first on Side One Dummy. In fitting with the band’s career to date, Christmas Island is a little bit silly, a little bit serious. It’s a record that’s irreverent yet somber, full of humor and full of pathos, its twelve songs combining the two to create a record that “truly” cuts right to the bone of the human condition. Whether it’s life, love, death, loss or Linda Ronstadt, this record has it all, delving into the most profound of emotions, reaching deep into the heart of humanity, unveiling universal truths through the most unlikely of scenarios.

OBN III’s
+ White Mystery
Saturday 20th June
Texas bruisers OBN IIIs just released their new album, Third Time to Harm, via Tic Tac Totally. Orville Neely and the rest of the band only play at burner speed, and its another swell disc in their catalog of rippers.
The band burns brightest, and this shouldn’t be surprising, live on stage. In that spirit, Castle Face is releasing a live LP, part of their ‘Live in San Francisco Series,’ on July 22. Here’s label head (and Oh Sees head) John Dwyer with more:
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life it’s this: don’t buy drugs from strangers on the street while wasted. A simple yet effective rule. Evidently no one told these reckless Texans, OBN III’s (pronounced Oh Bee En Threes). We’ve captured them at their sweatiest for our Live In San Francisco series at the Chapel, from the kickoff shows of the tour with Thee Oh Sees last fall.
