Slap Rash + I Create Deathrays
Saturday the 25th of May, Doors 7pm.
I Create Deathrays: 7:30pm.
Slap Rash: 9pm
A Night of Noise Rock from two duos. Hearing protection recommended. Both extraordinary talents with intelligent songwriting and meticulously crafted (bass) guitar tone.

Slap Rash
Made up of siblings Amelia (Drums/Vocals) and Huw Lloyd (Bass), and citing influences METZ, 7 Year Bitch, Lightning Bolt and TOOL, the duo sustain their deft uncompromising
and experimental blend of punk and hardcore on their latest single Chokeheld, where cannoning riffs explode and splutter via doom-laden intros and a jazzed-up leftfield, synth -wrangling breakdowns.
An incessant live fixture too, the duo have toured the UK with Mandy, Indiana, sold out Manchester’s White Hotel (250 Cap), opening all the while for various like-minded noisemongers - DITZ, The Psychotic Monks, Maruja, Show Me The Body and Humour, and performed at Manchester Psych Fest two years running.
