Event details:

Last gang In Town Xmas Bash & 5 Year Anniversary Gig

With I.C.H. + Kill Youth Culture + Mustard City Rockers + Sam Russo + Last Gang In Town DJ's

I.C.H. - Arguably the finest punk band to come out of East Anglia, ICH have been with us from the start and are once again where they should be...headlining! The last 5 years have seen this band become a local phenomenon and they've just secured a slot at the prestigious Rebellion punk festival in 2009. Their influences are too numerous to mention (but Crass and Rancid are definitely in there) and mere words can't describe their live performances. ICH have been known to blow ageing punk bands off the stage and even incited stage diving at their unplugged gigs. With sharply observed lyrics and a barrage of guitars ICH's punk anthems will have you punching the air and shouting along ‘til the cider runs out.

Kill Youth Culture - Welcome return of this dirty punk 4 piece from Hull with bags of energy and the legendary Jim Sorrow from Freaks Union on vocals.

Mustard City Rockers - Excellent Norwich folk-punk band who are influenced by Flogging Molly, the Subhumans and everything in-between.

Sam Russo - Acoustic punk folk from this popular local songwriter.

Last Gang In Town DJ's - Psychobilly / Rockabilly / Punk / Ska Plus Last Gang Distro!
