PULSE: SURGEON, DARRELL PULSE, SEAN LAIRD

23:00 - 03:00 £15 + BF // MOTD


“Surgeon has been at the forefront of UK techno since 1994. His debut EP is regarded by many as seminal, launching his career along with several early Downwards releases, causing a ripple of excitement through the techno cognoscenti of the time. Surgeon has been prolific since, with three albums on Tresor and numerous Counterbalance and Dynamic Tension EPs as well as his ‘Breaking The Frame’, ‘From Farthest Known Objects’ and ‘Luminosity Device’ LPs “Over the course of his career, the Birmingham resident has perfected a unique and uncommonly effective production style. His is a tough techno sound with an industrial murk about it but also plenty of funk, swing and a sophisticated sense of dub-space learned in part from his Chain Reaction contemporaries in Berlin. Proving that hard can also be smart, sensuous and danceable, the influence of Surgeon on the 2010-ruling Ostgut/Berghain sound – DJs/producers like Marcel Dettmann, Shed et al – is substantial”.

EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS ('TEENAGE DEPRESSION' 50TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR) + THREATS [LIVE]

19:00-22:00 £22.50 + BF

Eddie and the Hot Rods return to the capital to mark the 50th anniversary of their seminal debut, Teenage Depression.  Released in 1976, it bottled the raw urgency that helped shape a generation. Loud, fast and unapologetically direct, it bridged the gap between pub rock grit and the belligerent first wave of punk.  To celebrate the milestone, founding drummer Steve Nicol returns to the kit, driving the attack that made the band such a vital force in the late ’70s.  From sweat-soaked London pubs to stages across the US and Europe, Eddie and the Hot Rods built a reputation on ferocious live shows that matched the moment and pushed it forward.  For this special night, the current Guardians of the Legacy – on record and in reality – are joined by their original beat-keeper to rewind to 1976, to when Eddie and the Hot Rods first kicked the door down with a sound that hit like a punch in the guts.  Support on the night comes from Threats, frontline veterans of Scotland’s late ’70s punk explosion. Inspired by the raw energy and defiance of pioneers like the Sex Pistols and The Clash, the Dalkeith upstarts found their voice in the early ’80s when punk’s second wave hit with a harder edge, burning intensity and a more confrontational pulse. Their catalogue deals in street punk’s core currency – raw guitars, shouted truths and zero compromise. Tracks like Go to Hell and Politicians and Ministers are biting two-minute manifestos aimed at authority and self-serving power. Pacivity is a sharp slap at complacency, while Underground Army is a defiant reminder that street punk still matters.
From opening the legendary Gathering of the Clans at the Glasgow Apollo in 1982 to a live set recorded at New York’s CBGB’s in 2002, Threats carry unquestioned pedigree. They don’t just play punk – they live it. If you believe punk should still feel dangerous, Threats are the weapon lying on the table. Promoted by Big Fish GigsBuy tickets for The Bongo Club
