Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Putrid sludge grunge anthems from new Bristol getup Cougar Mingus, channelling fuzz bass and wretched vocals into unholy shapes in Crofters Room 1 for a specially filmed MTV-style ruckus. Big look FFO: Eyehategod, Bleach era Nirvana, QOTSA, Tad, Alice in Chains, Fu Manchu."

A gig held at Crofters Rights on Wednesday 6th December. The event starts at 19:30.
Fallen Moon Promotions presents three of the most talented bands on the music scene and on the 6th of December you have the opportunity to be part of it!
We're recording the whole night MTV style so you'd better don your gladrags, stamp your feet and clap your hands if you want to make the cut!
Lamears: Three-piece Southwest outfit. These guys are here to ruffle some feathers in the mid-70s Psychedelic Desert Surf Rock Scorpion Pterodactyl Hardcore Scene... don't you forget it... Influences include The Doors, Allah Las, Fugazi, Rage, Beastie Boys and Kate Bush...
Monet are fast becoming the enfant terrible’s of the Cardiff and South Wales music scene. The four piece ply a manic brand of experimental rock, within which you can hear a heady combination of eccentric influences: the math rock of Tera Melos, Speedy Wunderground-style post-punk and noughties-era dance-punk.
However, no comparisons can wholly capture the four-piece’s unique ambition or oddball energy. Comparing Monet’s trajectory from 2022 album ‘Locmine’ to 2023 EP ‘You Need To Tell Worse Lies Man’, it’s clear that the band are becoming both increasingly-proficient musicians but also more thrillingly-weird. Check out their absurdist banger ‘Wallace’ for diamond-hard proof of their greatness. - Clash
Cougar Mingus are a Bristol Trio who have exploded onto the scene after forming in 2022. The trio exuded a strong sense of authenticity, sludging through the night with syncopated rhythms and heavily distorted riffs. Drawing upon a classic grunge influence, Cougar Mingus are forming a contemporary sound - Fiercely Bristol
Entry requirements: 18+
