They came from the trees. Now settled in fertile east London, Snapped Ankles maintain the feral energy of the forest. Fight or flight. Primal motorik rhythms, the rush of white noise and post-punk angles; an aural onslaught played out on homemade log synths, electrified guitars and sticks beating hell on taut animal skin. Snapped Ankles have flourished in the sub-tropical climes of warehouse and squat parties, moving onto performance art collaborations with filmmakers and shows in unlikely locations such as barber shops, games arcades and the forests they once called home. They plough a singular furrow at improbable angles. The woodwose have discovered electricity and they’re not afraid to use it.

The four members of The 113 from Leeds cloak themselves in darkness like a Death Eater. Their immersive, dark, and raw post-punk fuses heavy guitars and driving rhythms. The brooding intensity of Protomartyr can be heard in their sound. Along with the support from Steve Lamacq and BBC Radio 6, The 113 has already notched up several impressive support slots with acts including Egyptian Blue and Hotel Lux.

Indie in Town is thrilled to announce our next double bill line-up. For this May edition, Baby Berserk and TAPE TOY will travel all the way from The Netherlands to grace our stage. They are joined by Tigers & Flies and Astraba. Tickets will be £3,50 on Dice and £5,50 on the door. Make sure to grab a ticket now! Baby Berserk: Known for their seamless blend of music and fashion, Baby Berserk captures the essence of contemporary nightlife, balancing the raw energy of a live band with the infectious pulse of club music. Their latest work offers a refreshing and invigorating boost for the mind, body, and soul. Tape Toy: With a rich palette of effect pedals and synthesizers, TAPE TOY sounds more melodic than ever. Their overwhelming live performances should not only make you jump but also make you feel. They grab you with the catchiness of a summer hit, hook you with the bravado and suave of your favourite rapper, and make you want to destroy things like Woodstock '99. Tigers & Flies: Cowbell-wielding horn-blowing Manchester based 5-piece Tigers and Flies provide energy without sacrificing melody. They make wonky guitar music with a hearty post-punk affliction and have an inclination towards the absurd/lighthearted/mundane. Expect songs about Margate, workplace grievances, and the mechanisation of labour. Astraba: Hailing from London, Astraba is a five-piece weaving together alt-rock with threads of psychedelic rock, jazz, and folk. Formed just over a year ago, they’ve captivated audiences with their enigmatic and unique live performances at key grassroots venues across London. Having already caught the attention of BBC 6 Music, Soho Radio and KEXP radio in the US with their debut Sink The Moon, Astraba’s unique sound beckons fans to delve into the depths of their artistry, leaving them curious for what lies ahead.
