And yet those cells come together to produce a steady stream of ill rhymes, laughs, and mind-blowing scientific findings. “Will make your brain buzz” (Evening Standard)”Hilarious and touching – utterly unique” (Broadway Baby)
“Engaging and humorous – sends synapses racing” (The Reviews Hub)

The Mike Ross Band
+ Du BellowsLocal legends The Mike Ross Band (soaked in soul, burnt in blues – Kerrang) roll back into town for their only Brighton headline show of 2018.

Fuzzed up, fierce and full frontal fiery attack coupled with sexy, smooth slidin’, southern soul! – Mojo Magazine
The Mike Ross Band will be augmented for this special show by Jade Danielle Williams (The Voice) on piano and vocals after an opening slot from her band, the spellbinding Du Bellows. This also happens to be their debut Brighton performance and they promise to deliver their unique form of storytelling woven through progressive, soulful music.

Caustic Comedy Nights
Will Franken’s Solo Show

Scott Lavene
Born in Essex, Scott Lavene was raised on power ballads, punk and swearing. In bands since his teens, scratching out a pound note on with dead end jobs in various towns. Always moving, sunny side down, trying to find something to cling to. In London during the late noughties, the behaviour became darker, the songs got better and there came a sniff from some major labels and a stint in New York including playing at CBGB’s.
The songs are stories, tragic and funny, catchy, honest and passionate. They keep you on your toes, as will Scott Lavene if you keep your eyes on him.
