LIFE are at the crest of the current wave of UK guitar music alongside other scene champions such as IDLES and Fontaines D.C. they channel bands such as The Fall, Blur and Parquet Courts. Their focus on community and witty, off-centre social commentary underscores everything they do.

The band, hailing from Hull in England’s North East, are confrontational in their sound and their political opinions, channeling energetic, abrasive punk to take aim at society’s ills. Energetic frontman Mez jumps and dances around the stage with a death glare like Jarvis Cocker making love to Frank Sidebottom and the Sultans of Ping.

Support act Alien Chicks are a Brixton based post-punk power trio, whose music explores a whole mix of genres including jazz, rap, bossa nova, and math rock. Their songs are a surreal social commentary packed with punchy rhythms and eclectic time signatures. Their youthful charisma, humour, passion, and sense of fun make for an addictively energetic live show.
