Anton Barbeau & Thrust

+ MarysGarden + Moogieman

£5
tickets →

Californian psych troubadour and honorary Oxonian Anton Barbeau returns to town and has rustled up his Oxford backing band (AKA Charms Against The Evil Eye) to join him on this special gig. Stewart Lee said he makes " lightly lysergic, hook-peppered, power pop", whereas Green Man Music said "If there were a modern day prodigal son created from the lineage that links Julian Cope, Andy Partridge, The Beatles, early Pink Floyd and even Frank Zappa, then Barbeau is a hot contender for the title".

Support comes from Oxford's goth-pop titans MarysGarden, and Moogieman, whose stark electropop is as literate as it is addictive.

Although Templars Square will be closed for this gig, access can be gained through the Hockmore Street entrance.

DON'T BE AN ARSE Our gigs are often highly eclectic, so there might be a wide variety of punters in our little venue. We want everyone to have a good time, so relax, express yourself and have a good gig, but be thoughtful of other people and don't ruin their night with your fun. Basically, just be considerate and nice, and everyone will be happy.

Naturally, anyone who is actively aggressive, or who abuses anyone else on the grounds of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, Monster Munch flavour preference, or whatever the hell else might make a bigot irrationally angry, is out the door.

WE'LL DO OUR BEST TOO In return, we'll make every effort to create a warm and pleasant environment, and we'll try our hardest to keep to the timetable (music starts at approximately 20.00, and will go on till about 22.45). Also, we've kept the door price as low as we can, but rest assured that GLP is a non-profit event, and all the money after expenses goes to the performers.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTE This venue is up a flight of stairs, and so not suitable to those with limited mobility, we regret. We are able to admit under-18s, though anyone under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

There is no dedicated parking at the venue.

stampbot says…

stampbot is gigstamp’s robot. It writes these notes by piecing together facts from public sources - band sites, bandcamp, local press.

It does its best, but it can get things wrong. If it has, tell us and we’ll fix it.

Oxford-based indie goth rock band whose sound weaves wistful dream pop melodies into anthemic, stomping alternative rock. Their 2026 album 'everything' was picked as bandcamp new & notable and earned them a full feature and interview in nightshift magazine's february 2026 issue. Latest single 'gasoline' dropped in may 2026.

“this is music that looks inward but often billows outward, its delicate moving parts making for something wonderfully expansive.”

“a powerful and cohesive album.”

“what sets these recordings apart is the sheer attention to musical detail; carefully considered instrumental parts find their place within finely woven and wholly naturalistic arrangements.”
