This Obscene Baby Auction presents

GROPETOWN (Glasgow)
Excellent lads from the Winning Sperm Party stable of new wave of spazzy Glaswegian hardcore. Think Minutemen, early Boredoms, Butthole Surfers, Arab on Radar, Dawson or Stretchheads style discordant energetic noise-rock. Yes!

GUMMY STUMPS (Glasgow)
Fellow Winning Sperms emerging from the post-Plaaydoh fallout. Minimal post-punk like Sonic Youth or The Fall with Scot-accented Killdozer-type vocals. Intriguingly mint.

PIFCO (Leeds)
Mary and Ste have been blasting out The Fall-ish and Wedding Present-y stripped down garage-indie rock long enough to become Radio 6 Steve Lamaqc’s joint-favourite band with Steely Dan. Always wonderful.

In the Basement Bar at Bradford Playhouse, Chapel Street, http://www.bradfordplayhouse.co.uk/
£4 in. Starts at 9pm. Bands will finish in time for trains and buses back to Leeds.

This is a DIY gig meaning that the bands, the promoters and the venue are motivated not by profit but by a love of music and self-organised activity that helps create alternative spaces to the music industry. Things are deliberately kept as cheap and inclusive as possible. Please come along to support and help sustain this and other gigs like it. It’s fun and it’s good for you and the city!
