“Five guys, maybe three shirts between them, take to the stage. There’s a banjo, a fiddle, a drum set littered with gas cans, chains, and broken cymbals. Then they all start howling, stomping… there’s a sense that something almost sinisterly spiritual has overtaken everyone in the room. This is the world of O’Death.”
O’Death are from Brooklyn, New York City, but they take their name, and their spirit, from the haunting Appalachian dirge made famous by Ralph Stanley in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Their music has been variously described as junkyard jugband, southern gothic spiritual and moonshine fueled hoedown. Whatever you call it, these boys have created something timeless and legendary, drawing an ever expanding congregation of devoted followers to their mesmerising and riotous gigs. All we can say is… O’Death… Oh yes.

The Samsonites
Named after the Hackensaw Boys’ tour bus (an old Samson tobacco delivery van – 1983 Mercedes Benz Sprinter), Ferd 4 and Jesse Fiske from the Hackensaw Boys hook up with Thomas Olivier, to bring you south eastern American fiddle tunes with some blues action and a good old Dutch squatter-punk sensibility.

DJ David Holmes will take the music by the scruff of the neck and march it onwards in a funked-up, mashed-up, psychedelic stylie, until 1am.

If you like the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, The Damned, Motorhead or Old Crow Medicine Show, you’ll love this.
