KING YELLOWMAN
& THE SAGITTARIUS BAND
Sep 5th
King Yellowman & the Sagittarius Band
Jamaica’s first dancehall superstar, Yellowman ushered in a new era in reggae music following Bob Marley’s death. His early-’80s success brought the popularity of toasting — the reggae equivalent of rapping — to a whole new level, and helped establish dancehall as the wave of the future. For better or for worse, he also epitomized dancehall’s penchant for “slack” lyrics — that is, casual violence, sexism, homophobia, and general rudeness. Graphic sexuality was his particular forte, reaching levels of explicitness previously unheard in Jamaica. It brought him numerous detractors, but it was also a big reason for his early popularity. There was more to it than that, though; Yellowman was one of the most verbally nimble toasters of his time, with a loose, easy flow, a talent for improvisation, and a definite wit in his wordplay. Plus, all the boasting about his prowess on the mic or in the bedroom had to be over the top to be convincing: true to his stage name, Yellowman was an albino, which carries a tremendous social stigma in Jamaica. His rise to stardom was unlikely enough, but his transformation from untouchable outcast into sex symbol was staggering — and may not even have taken place without his trademark lewdness. Shocking though it could be, it affirmed him as a sexual being just like his listeners, and was delivered with enough humor to let the audience know that he wasn’t taking himself too seriously. Bouts with cancer pushed him into more thoughtful, socially conscious territory in the ’90s, but his initial style remains the most influential, paving the way for countless dancehall toasters to follow.

Bards Against Humanity Tour
JUNE 14th
Please note: Jollyboat will go on stage at 7:30pm, defying the standard ‘bands start at 8pm’ rule, because they’re rock-n-roll rule-breakers.

Since their formation in 2011 as a 2 piece studio side project ANCST have been co-spearheading the new wave of hardcore punk infused black metal in the European extreme metal / DIY underground. While sporting both a hardcore and a metal socialization, the self proclaimed collective has perfectly combined fierce melodic black metal and brutal yet metallic hardcore crust with angry and critical social political lyrics. ANCST has appeared on festivals such as Fluff Fest, Bloodshed Fest and the New Noise Fest and has been touring the European mainland as well as the UK relentlessly.
FOETAL JUICE – Death/Grind – Manchester
(Grindscene Records)
Foetal Juice have been on the Extreme Metal Underground circuit for well over ten years now, a band with a passion for the gory and perverted side of life. They consistently play shows, appearing in some of the most prestigious extreme metal festivals in and around Europe. In Dec 2016 they released their debut album ‘Masters of Absurdity” a violent non stop slab of nasty Death/Black/Grind gristle to get your teeth around.
Live Burial – Old School Death Metal – Newcastle
(Dunkelheit Productions)
Live Burial recreate the macabre atmosphere and emotion that can only be found in memory of the late 80’s / early 90’s scenes. Riffs come out on mass, drums punch down like a sledgehammer and vocals bellow so hauntingly they can summon the dead to terrorise the living! Live Burial have toured the UK and the mainland consistently since their inception, playing on many high profile bills and festivals.
Repulsive Vision – Old School Death Metal – Barrow
(Mighty Music Records)
Repulsive Vision are a four piece old school death metal band from Barrow in Furness, Cumbria. The band affect a relentlessly aggressive energy complete with a raw uncompromising sound. Taking influence from video nasties and their controversial history, Repulsive Vision

Iron Altar – Sludge/Death – Edinburgh
(Self Released)
Forged in the baron frost of a Scottish winter in 2015.
