NB This is a MATINEE SHOW kicking off at approx 2pm. The Boston Brew – Seasoned rocknroll renegades playing 60s rnb/garage bangers with a suitably trash n roll heritage, as some of these players used to be in The Cannibals. Gnarly Nuggets for fans of…er, Nuggets, and the likes of The Inmates and Feelgoods. Groovy.  Red Letters – punky power pop people.

Classic Radiohead as performed by Just Radiohead in The Water Rats, where the band performed in the early days, Friday 17th May 2024…This is the UK’s Leading Radiohead ‘Tribute’ Band! Respectfully performing songs from one of the 1990s and 2000s most loved bands. Just Radiohead perform a stunning cross section of material spanning the band’s 30 plus year career, from the post grunge indie rock of debut LP ‘Pablo Honey’, all the way through to material from their most recent art rock opus, ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’, taking in classic numbers from milestone albums such as ‘The Bends’ and ‘Kid A’ along the way. For a duration of up to 2 hours, this remarkable show offers a rare opportunity to immerse in the Radiohead experience up close and personal, care of the superbly well appointed 200 capacity venue The Water Rats, something that hasn’t happened since 1991…

Hooray- some matinee malarkey which is all about some of Bugbear’s finest indie punk n roll illumini…cats who have rocked many a fetid, beer stained party on a selection of our stages over the years, nay decades!….today’s responsible drinking campaign features Clujit, The Legendary Too Drunk, Council Culture, Semion and Sparky’s Magic Piano All bands playing 20 minutes and with a specially selected hand picked Leg Too drunk Party Playlist throughout. What a fantastic way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Football? Shopping? Going to the barber’s? Get tae fook. And it’s only a fiver (plus fifty pence booking fee natch).

The Hackenbackers – West London based rock’n’roll band, comprising a group of lifelong friends, who (after having many separate musical adventures) have embarked on a new musical journey together. A beautiful thing, and some beautiful musicality too. Tip top stuff.  “Their set list features all original, self-written songs with strong driving beats and hooky choruses (no cover versions here….)” Man About A Dog– effortless Cure tinged pop with lots of knowing niceness.  The Adventures of Parsley (playing originals not TV themes) – Formed wayback in the indie schmindie outlier daze of 1985, as a spin off band from The Herbs, expect retro tinged but contemporary takes on life as lived. Vignettes of indie pop joy then.

BugBear Promotions are excited to bring you this Saturday afternoon matinee performance. US post-punk duo, Frenchy & the Punk are back in the UK for a whistle-stop tour, and find just enough time to squeeze in this show in Camden. Also on the bill are Marc Burrow’s Beyond Victoria project, Camden’s very own weird popsters Flesh Tetris, and Birmingham’s down & dirty rock’n’rollers, The Head Hunters. NB THIS IS A MATINEE EVENT DOORS 2PM

The Rheumatics – ‘Rock Against Rheumatism’ is their cause celebre, can’t argue with that…old enough to know no better whatsoever bunch of chaps covering 1970s Punk Rock classics and also some of the cool music that paved the way for Punk. A fabulously entertaining way to spend a midsummer Sunday afternoon then! Yes, this is a matinee show, get yourselves along around 2.30pm
