The Newcastle and Cumbria based eight-piece bring a plethora of good vibes, animalistic behaviour and grooves that will make your legs move uncontrollably.

The band’s guitarist Jordie, who writes all the songs starting with the drum rhythms, said: “At a typical gig, the performers are on the stage and there’s a barrier between them and the crowd, our aim is to break down that proverbial fourth wall.

“If you think of a drum circle, everyone who’s there is part of it. I’ll be happy if the people who come to our gigs feel like we’re all taking part in something together.”

Support comes from Murky Buckets and Catch a Fox.

Doors open at 7.30pm. Entry is £7 from www.wegottickets.co.uk.
