Returning to the live scene after a slight change of line-up, the north London band cite Nirvana, Patti Smith, The Breeders among their influences. "BIG riffs, raw-as-skin-scraped-on-sandpaper vocals, tribal Babes In Toyland-esque drums and tunes you can take your clothes off and DIVE into!"

** THE SCARAMANGA SIX
This Leeds-based band are set to make a welcome return to London to do some recording, so they thought "why not play a gig too?" and since DiS gave their last album 4/5, here they are. They're garage rock but with a distinctly English edge. 'Soulful and subtle, yet also adventurous and abrasive, The Scaramanga Six possess all the makings of a classic band" - Kerrang!
ON AT 9pm

An evening of mid-summer marvellousnessnessness.

** CLOSER are a popcore trio not unlike Weezer with a bit of Trail Of Dead thrown in.

** 50 HERTZ return to Club Fandango to launch their new single, 'In The Town'. Expect searing guitars and soaring melodies. "Genius," says The Fly. "A singer who invokes the spirit of Brett Anderson in '96, this four piece appear to have all the tunes and all the moves," says drownedinsound.

** THE BOXER REBELLION are a geographically eclectic four-piece from the western world who make giant, epic rock. Think Verve, think Coldplay, think swirling guitar rock, lush piano laments and a band fronted by one heck of a... well, frontman. It's A&R frothage time.

**THE GREAT SHARK HUNT are four 20-year-old Hunter S. Thompson fans from London and cite influences such as Six By Seven, Sigur Ros and Muse. Amazingly, they actually manage to sound like a cross between all three. "The bizarrely titled 'An Argument Breaks Out In Furniture Village' flourishes with understated brilliance," reckon OneMusic.

** JARCREW
Ammanford, Wales is their home and Kerrang celebrated their arrival as being "all your prayers answered". Since releasing debut album 'Breakdance Euphoria Kids' last July, and appearing on Fierce Panda's 'Squirrel EP', the band have signed to Gut Records. They've been touring with Mclusky and Span and there's little else to say here other than they rock, as you'll be hearing plenty about them in the future...

** ALYSSA'S WISH
After gigging round Scotland supporting the likes of thisGIRL, Capdown, Tribute To Nothing and Reuben, this Aberdeen trio thought it time to make their first trip to London village. Under their previous name, they even played to thousands of people in Belarus in the Former Soviet Union, which saw them having to be escorted by the army for their own protection... They cite Glassjaw, Thursday and At The Drive-In as influences.
