A riotous, cheeky and saucy blend of Lesbian Musical Comedy, set in a 1970s hospital!

Minds Eye Promotions Eastbourne is back for another instalment of their original showcase nights at The Grove Theatre. 3 unique acts for £7 advance. This month for your viewing pleasure, they are hosting Hastings-based record label Property Of The Lost for a takeover featuring Frank From Blue Velvet with their unique brand of Americana filled with soul searching, redemption and damnation- Column 258 who offer psychadelia and shamanic grade rituals in sound- and garage proto punks Thee Headshrinkers with some of the best balaclavas money can buy. Property Of The Lost: POTL is a Hastings record label. "It's not just for Hastings bands, but when you live in a bonkers music town like this, it seems the ratio to be naturally bent in that way." Says Label owner Karl Horton I'm sure some of the bands on the label wouldn't call themselves punk, I think they all have a bit of it, in spirit at least." The label rosta is a broad church though.. Ska rockers King Prawn released their latest vinyl album through the label, you got the garage influenced X Ray Cat Trio and Thee Headshrinkers, stoner fuzz merchants Wytch Pycknyck, the melancholic twang of Frank From Blue Velvet, the glam stomp of Daemonik Fonce and newest to the POTL camp, psych jazz experimentalists Column258. "All the bands are real hard to pigeon hole which, let me tell you, is a pain in the arse when you're trying to promote them..." Which makes every sale, every play, a small victory hard won. Frank From Blue Velvet: When Ogs (from the infamous punk band Peter and The Test Tube Babies) and dark country singer Andrew J Davies started thinking about playing the pubs of Hastings, they quickly realised that a two-piece outfit wouldnt deliver on their ambitious sound. After a few lineup changes, the band evolved into a family affair with Davies daughter on bass. Their sound is an eclectic mix of post-punk blended rock Americana with elements of gospel, blues, and rockabilly. Lyrically their songs are dark and laced with biting wit. The band has recently been featured in Vive Le Rock magazine, played on Radio 6 Music, and completed a 10- date stadium tour of Germany, supporting Peter and The Test Tube Babies and performing to stadium audiences. Column 258: Hastings 6-piece art rock experimental collective, combining spoken word + improv, addictive grooves and electric atmosphere. Their songs are full powered performances, interweaving wild poetry with strings, brass and soaring guitars, The band often play against a backdrop of projected films and have a live dancer. Each vocalist having unique styles of attack and delivery from Robert Wyatt to Jim Morrison and Tom Waits. This band is all about the psych sounds of kraut and freakout 60s jazz crossed with punk and delta blues Thee headshrinkers: Inspired by The Eighties Match Box B-Line Disaster, The Fall and the Sex Pistols, Thee Headshrinkers have raw power with Songs driven by the bass line, with no middle eight, making repetition an art form. Vocals spit and sneer but touch on the pop sensibilites of The Mary Chain. Gino's turns his Vox Phantom into a full fuzz incendiary device, all held together by Stiv's fast and loose garage beat. From playing 20 capacity basement gigs, 2024 has seen the masked crusaders star rising with promoters and venues across the country asking for their attendance. Rautious, unapologetic and direct!

Minds Eye Promotions Eastbourne is back for another instalment of their original showcase nights at The Grove Theatre. 3 unique acts for £7 advance. This month for your viewing pleasure, they bring 70's flavoured cinematic funk big band Mr Super Juice with their Shaft, and Lalo Schifrin inspired power house of sound- Mr Bungle inspired Enfant Terribles GURF with their warped funky 'computer gone wrong' psychedelia that sounds way more electronic than any live band deserves to- and one man drum wizard Dale Frost who shows just what you can do with a sampler, a drum kit and a bucket load of wizard grade talent. Mr Super Juice: The influence of the fantastic film scores of Lalo Schifrin (Bullit, Mission Impossible, Enter The Dragon, Dirty Harry, Kelly's Heroes, THX 1138), Roy Budd (Get Carter, The Black Windmill, The Marseille Contract, Who Dares Wins, The Stone Killer) and Curtis Mayfield's Superfly to name but a few are plain to hear in the bands compositions and improvisations. The soundtrack concept allows the band the freedom to delve into all areas and sub-genres of funky music from cool jazz funk or New Orleans style grooves to psychedelic funk and acid rock-tinged improvisation and beyond. GURF: These Brighton-based legends are notorious for their chaotic live shows, insane musicianship, and glitchy af sonic battering rams they call songs. It's like watching a train on fire, contemplating what it is to be a train, whilst hurtling down the tracks with fire spewing out of every window.......and that's just the guitarist! Expect beefy appendages and wonkiness. Dale Frost: Drummer, Electronic composition, fractured polyrhythms, and glitched loops. It's our first time witnessing this highly recommended rhythm expert, and we'll leave his write up as that- the description ticks all our boxes for interest, oh we probably should mention he's doing all this on his own! Who needs bands when you have vision! Supported by public funds by @acegrams with thanks to @eastbournemusic

Minds Eye Promotions Eastbourne is back for another instalment of their original showcase nights at The Grove Theatre. 4 unique acts for £7 advance. This month, for your viewing pleasure, we have a duo special- all acts are comprised of two people, but don't let that fool you, all the acts sound larger than a cannon. Leading the evening are Human Leather, a duo so ferocious they've clocked up support slots with acts such as Ohms, Unsane, Melvins, & Melt Banana to name a few. Returning sonic brain melter Bovril Latrine return with more changes and microcuts of sound you'll think you're imagining things- Local blast lords The Defamation Project who fuse Death Metal with pretty much anything they desire, from ambient Westerns to biblical sermons of pissed off Gods returning to wipe humanity off of the map- and lastly but not leastly the inventive freak rock of The Mystic Shed which have a sound that is every bit as intense as anything else on this bill but with a stage patter akin to a youthful Morecombe and Wise. Drummers take note- this evening is chock full of the very best of them. Human Leather: How two people can produce this caliber of noise and energy is incomprehensible. A flaming meteor of catastrophic annihilation Bovril Latrine: Brightons Bovril Latrine are the sopping wet love-child of 80s Swans and The Locust, obnoxious noise metal, chaotic speed-core, wonky electro funk and a dashing of contemporary pop ballads make Bovril Latrine a very silly cocktail of frantic energy, brutal bass riffs, pummelling tribal beats and unexpected moments of actual music. Bovril Latrine are the demented reaction to the never ending onslaught of boring, safe live musical experiences. The Defamation Project: The Defamation are a family band routed in chaos, but are anything but dysfunctional. Dense, tightly orchestrated sonic assaults, and spooky ambience that at times can feel like youre listening to the sound of a Warner brothers cartoon having a punch up The Mystic Shed: A fixture of the freak rock scene since day one, this maelstrom of aural carnage continues to upheave sonic conventions- even going so far as to defy the laws of physics! With lyrical themes from furniture to the equine and a proclivity for absurd narrative, The Mystic Shed provides literally minutes of fascination for all the family.
