Rita Lynch it's been a very long time since this amazing Sarf London come Bristolian artist played the DC, far too long, and were very glad to have her back. Rita Lynch is a razor sharp raconteur and songsmith, a carrier for a punk/post punk/folk sensibility all her own, although if you dont know her stuff yet (for shame!) you may find resonance in PJ Harvey and Billy No Mates. Rita also plays with likewise Brizzle legends and poets in rhythm Blue Aeroplanesace. Joanna and the Dropouts Joanna and The Dropouts, formed in 2019, are a Brighton/London- based band blending garage rock, surf, and punk. Fronted by Joanna with her B52's/Wanda Jackson-inspired vocals, big. curly hair, and baby blue Fender, a party hearty frenzy of fun awaits thee! Pondlife Thoughtful musings over perky riddims and floral alternopop guitars all taken at a leisurely pace like a Brit Pavementbased in East London and playing a kind of lo-fi garage rockwith a bit of a post-punk edge. For fans of yes, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr, The Fall but with an Pondlife twist at all times. The Tender Heights Gothic , not Goth, folk tinged pop rock produced by Michael Sheehey rocking a rootsy sound with lovely sonorous female vocals. Fine artistes who one would say have listened to Lee and Nancy as much as The Pretenders. Good songs, great performance.
