GRIPPER LEE

A big sound, reminiscent of classic 1980s post-punk and goth, delivered with plenty of energy and attitude.

SPOCK ON THE BUS

Hailing from Worthing, West Sussex. Spock On The Bus is the greatest band to have never appeared on Sunday Brunch. Born from a need to sing silly songs about Bruce Willis, Owls, Biscuits and Badgers, we plan on local domination followed by a nap then tea and biscuits as we're all getting on a bit now.

They play noisy silly songs with sing along choruses and catchy hooks getting everyone in on the act before bedtime. With more years experience than they'd care to admit, they have close to ten albums recorded and released between them in previous bands.

BIG LEMON
