THE HERONS + THRUSH + DITHER + LUNATIQUE

Troubadour Presents.. THE HERONS + THRUSH + DITHER + LUNATIQUE   The Herons are probably the best Franco-Anglo-Uzbek punk trio in the world. Their music has been described by an elusive Parisian blogger as “a reminder of what rock and roll should be”, while others have described them as “hypnotic”, “absurdist” and “a bit much for me, to be honest”. There’s only one way to find out if high-energy punk songs about porridge, Indian food… and love… were made for you.  Thrush are Scotland’s first ever Post-Indyref band, and they would know. Instagram creators first and musicians second, Thrush have produced some of the most critically acclaimed Instagram stories on the East Coast of Scotland of all time. Sweet and sensitive and weird and expansive. They shimmer, literally shimmer and shake, across stages and screens. Having supported exciting bands Glasshouse Red Spider Mite and Newbuild, this is their first trip south of the border.  Dither are a 5-piece shoegaze band based in and around London. They love loud guitars drenched in reverb, hypnotic drums, pulsing bass lines and mellow vocals that cut through the noise. They released their debut single ‘Share The Night’ in July with more releases on the way. Special guest and our MC for the night, Lunatique, is a sharp punk drag act infusing both a passion for comedy, dance and acrobatics to produce performances that are truly unclockable. With ferocity and wit, she unleashes her inner monster whenever she steps out on stage to connect with and entertain any audience she comes across through detailed musicality and sheer power. Don’t fear her, join her.
