Yes, that is a lot of people involved. More important than a load of scumbag promoters and DJs though is (duh) the actual music. Cats & Cats & Cats bring their squawking, swooning mixture of post rock and clattering indie back to South Wales again: we love them here\u00a0at Joy Towers and have spaffed good reviews on them like billy-o (try here<\/a> and here<\/a> for example). The violinist is back. Heads up. Also playing are the Siegfried Sassoon, an intriguing-sounding bunch from Surrey with a jazzpopping, genrehopping thing of their own going on. You’ll also see some sort of DJ-off between us and other actual DJs. We’re going down.<\/div>\n

CATS\u00a0& CATS & CATS<\/strong> – “The Boy With The Beak is where Cats demonstrate what truly sets them apart; a track that fizzes with energy whilst still managing to provide moments of aching beauty.” 5\/5 God is in the TV zine<\/p>\n

“Violin and trumpet echo over atmospheric and mathy guitars, accompanied by a shaky yet confident voice as the band pounds and crescendos all over the shop.” The 405<\/p>\n

THE SIEGFRIED SASSOON<\/strong> \u00a0are Surrey band. Depending on who you ask we are Art\/Post\/Pop\/Prog\/Noise\/Jazz\/Math\/8-Bit\/Hardcore\/Indie\/Rock<\/p>\n

We are just finishing recording a few new songs. Once they’re done we suppose we’d better play some bloody gigs.<\/p>\n

TSS x<\/p>\n

One of the very few bands doing something that sounds different…falling somewhere in between Fugazi, The Flaming Lips and Dartz!
\n-The Music Magazine<\/p>\n

The Siegfried Sassoon sound is a sophisticated, jazz-pop hybrid; stunning AT-AT drum patterns intertwined with melodic and sporadic vocals. Their song-writing style is of the maximum number of hooks per square inch variety.
