An exciting new collaboration between two Brighton live music institutions, The Real Music Club and Cellar Dweller, begins this September at the Prince Albert!
Featuring; Tragic Roundabout + The Qwarks + The Defamation Project + The Crumpets with DJ Spin Cycle
Tragic Roundabout; Established and much loved stalwarts of the festival scene, these "Five musicians and a drummer", play an irresistible collection of music and songs gleaned from and written out of their intrepid journeys across Europe and beyond. Always dazzling, always superb. More triffic than tragic, a joyous, heartlifting, glorious noise!
The Qwarks; Brighton's premier genre-fluid/skronk guitar trio play songs about rabbits, social media influencers, curtain twitchers, bathroom floors, and other universal themes. Buzz Music says; "The Qwarks take advantage of their growing platform to emphasize intrinsic desires for existential freedoms that are often squashed by corrective punishments". Can't argue with that.
The Defamation Project; The Defamation Project are a family band routed in chaos, but are anything but dysfunctional. Dense, tightly orchestrated sonic assaults, and spooky ambience that at times can feel like youre listening to the sound of a Warner brothers cartoon having a punch up. AI overview says; "The Defamation Project is a well-known avant-metal and bizarre/absurd rock band based out of Eastbourne". Can't argue with that.
The Crumpets; The fabulous Cellar Dweller house Burlesque Troupe providing brilliantly imaginative, wild and surreal vignettes between sets!
Plus DJ Spin Cycle, The Cellar Dweller house DJ (under his new name), will be spinning his choice vinyl choices until you drop, or he does, and providing the authentic psychedelic lightshow.

It does its best, but it can get things wrong. If it has, tell us and we’ll fix it.
Festival-circuit stalwarts of some twenty years, and the subject of their own crowdfunded documentary film. Hardcore punked-up ska welded to klezmer and eastern european folk, built out of years of busking and pub shows across europe. Five musicians and a drummer, made for a field at midnight.

Brighton rock trio formed in lockdown who have since picked up write-ups in the alternative music press. Wah-heavy, psych-tinted garage rock with a proto punk streak, written about rabbits, curtain twitchers, social media influencers and bathroom floors. Releases so far include the album a day in the lift.

An eastbourne family band who build dense, tightly orchestrated sonic assaults out of avant-metal and spooky ambience. The songs lurch between absurdity and menace, closer to a cartoon soundtrack losing its temper than to anything straight-faced. They turn up on bills at the prince albert with brighton's real music club and cellar dweller.
