About the venue

About the artists

Public Relations Exercise are a Leicester based 5 piece. The line up was finalised with the addition of another guitarist in September 2005, however the band have been a functional 4 piece prior to this. P.R.E's music is an intelligent mix of Post hardcore Math-rock and Screamo. Musically based around inventive rhythm's and discordant guitars, layered with penetrative vocals and poignant lyrics. The band's music has been likened to At The Drive-in and The Blood Brothers to name but a few. Having toured for the past year the band are currently back in the studio writing and recording new material set for release in 2006 on Field Records.»

Rolo Tomassi

A veritable smorgasbord of styles, these female-helmed discotech thrashers specialise in adrenaline-soaked, keyboard-laden art-punk that jerks, jolts and jigs with an ultra-camp temperamentality.

The band's debut self-titled EP was released in late 2006 via Holy Roar and subsequently sold out; a re-pressing featuring bonus tracks is available now.

Oli - guitar
Lewis - bass

Meet Me In St Louis - featuring former members of Escanna and Strobe 45 - play indie which is both beautiful AND schizophrenic, don't you know. Think Minus The Bear, American Football, Blood Brothers...

They've an EP out (released May 2006) through Function records - And with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

A debut album, Variations On Swing, was released through Big Scary Monsters in September 2007. It was produced by Alex Newport (At The Drive-In, The Pattern, Icarus Line, The Locust). The band broke up in early 2008.
