A night of energetic, socially & politically conscious, original live music from two powerhouse acts. THE FORGETTING CURVE are a power trio, formed in Stroud, who play an engaging and intelligent (sometimes surreal) blend of alt-rock/post-punk/desert-rock/post-rock. Their influences include Pixies, Queens of the Stone Age/Kyuss, Black Sabbath, The Birthday Party, Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Bauhaus, Shellac, Husker Du, Minutemen and The Stooges. They have previously supported ex Queens of the Stone Age members Nick Oliveri & Alfredo Hernandez on more than one occasion, as well as Geffen Records band Bivouac. THE THOUGHT POLICE are a three-piece band from the Forest of Dean, who bring a potent dose of punk/metal inspired heavy, driving, riffs. DJ Ade Simpson will provide a suitably curated musical back-drop, as ever. Foist are a not-for-profit, volunteer-run music collective, based in the Forest of Dean. Their aim is to support original, grassroots, live music locally and beyond.
