Einlass 19:00, Beginn 20:00

A precociously talented five-piece from London, MAN/WOMAN/CHAINSAW recently celebrated their 100th gig. Since their debut at 16 years old and across three self-released singles, the band have proven themselves as one of the most exciting and unpredictable young acts in the capital, both joyous and raucous in equal measures. Last November the band truly came of age with their debut EP, “Eazy Peazy”, to land on the indie taste-maker label Fat Possum Records. Recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox. "They remain an intriguing prospect – a band with the potential to shake up the scene with their unique sound and infectious energy." - DORK "It’s one of those records where every song has its own unpredictable flavor but they all seem to flow from the same collective consciousness.” - Stereogum - Band To Watch "The teenage five-piece making a thrilling noise." - Rolling Stone UK "Eazy Peazy is a raw, ambitious and electrifying debut of forward-thinking rock music." - **** - NME "The most exciting live band in London right now." - The Line Of Best Fit "['Ode To Clio' is] a cellular song that seems to smash together all kinds of contradictory ideas into one riveting whole." - CLASH “['What Lucy Found There’ is] a swooning, shapeshifting, melodramatic earworm of a single that sets them apart from London indie's ever-crowded field.” - The Quietus “['What Lucy Found There’ is] a virtuoso example of a band taking the listener through the emotions and leaving them unable to do anything but leap about the room.” - So Young Magazine "The latest in a recent line of young bands from the capital making a buzz the old-fashioned, live circuit way, angsty sextet Man/Woman/Chainsaw’s third proper release rings hums with the sort of layered energy that’s clearly been honed on the stage.” - DIY

GUT HEALTH are a six-piece ensemble from Naarm/Melbourne who have carved out a sound that blurs the boundaries between hypnotic dance-punk, no-wave and chaotic noise since their arrival in 2022. “Gut Health have crafted a percussively driven, instantly danceable style of motorik indie that impossibly toes the great divide between resolute, forceful intent and nonchalant, effortless cool.” - NME “Gut Health have produced an album for our times, unpredictable, uplifting and unifying” - Clash “Gut Health continues to be one of the most exciting up and coming bands in Australia at the moment” - The Needle Drop
