About this Event

Friday 15th February at The Hop Wakefield...



KID CANAVERAL

www.kidcanaveral.co.uk/

They were many peoples highlight of this years Long Division so we're bringing them back to Wakefield for a headline gig.

“Kid Canaveral showcase a sound too big to be Scotland’s secret for much longer” The Fly

“Super-infectious melodies The Magic Numbers would give their bushy beards for” Daily Record

“Juicy, chewy pop-kids to savour, proving that life still twitches in this indie guitar-pop business.” Paul Whitelaw, The Scotsman



THIS MANY BOYFRIENDS

www.thismanyboyfriends.com

"Gulp. What else do we know about This Many Boyfriends then? Well, they've actually been around a few years, after forming due to a "shared love of playing pop music far too loud in rooms far too small".

And they reckon they've had more line-up changes than The Fall.

Other than that, they're alright with being compared to The Cribs, The Smiths and Orange Juice, but would also like to make it known that they dig PJ Harvey, The Slits, Spearmint, Jonathan Richman, Otis Redding and Joy Division." NME Radar



FUR BLEND
