\"\"<\/a>‘FIGHT MY BATTLES FOR ME’ – ALBUM LAUNCH<\/p>\n

PAGAN WANDERER LU<\/a>
Pagan Wanderer Lu is a solo artist from Cardiff playing indie-pop with an electronic\/experimental twist. A menagerie of obscure electronic instruments and effects like omnichord, monome, and kaosillator make his DIY-pop show an intriguing spectacle and a pleasure to behold.<\/p>\n

– Featured by Drowned in Sound, Artrocker, Bearded Magazine, Subba Cultcha, This Is Fake DIY

MEWGATZ<\/a>
Named after a child\u2019s mispronunciation (or is that misconception) of music, Mewgatz make delicate yet damaging electronica. Based out of an abandoned electro graveyard in Bristol and armed with an arsenal of home-made instruments, from modified 80s Casios to keytars and kids toys, Mewgatz makes schizophrenic and chaotic yet beautifully subtle and fragile music.<\/p>\n

Mewgatz’ new album ‘Love Songs and Car Boot Electronica’ is released in June on OIB records.<\/p>\n

STAIRS TO KOREA<\/a>
From North London via Reykjavik, Will Vaughan makes budget anthems through slipshod use of modern technology and a dinky white guitar. It’s wrongpop Heaven – right here on Earth.

THEM SQUIRRELS<\/a>
Live debut for a new project from JT of Cardiff’s Attack + Defend.<\/p>\n

18\/05\/09 8pm – 11pm
Dempseys, Cardiff
