Cranc., Hot Wife, Jackie Sees Red

Cranc., Hot Wife, Jackie Sees Red

24 Apr 2026 - 24 Apr 2026

Barcelona’s Cranc. fuse noise-pop energy with ‘70s post-punk edginess. Oscillating between heartfelt anthems and witty commentary, their lyrics are inspired by far-right conspiratorial groups, the end times and, uh, heartbreak. Cranc.’s feral gigs frequently find their frontman metamorphosing from office drone to sweat-soaked man-possessed writhing on the floor. +++++ Hot Wife the band started as a few pints at a south London pub between two girls with a mutual passion for 90s alt-rock and pop culture heroines. Tired of the city's male-dominated music scene, they set out to write their own kind of songs. Pairing big riffs with tongue in cheek lyrics, they provide a soundtrack for sacrificing your boyfriend or kissing your friends. +++++ With seething guitars, poetic lyrics, and abrasive sounds, Jackie Sees Red.
