Sometimes going out can leave you cold compared to the warm chaos of a house party. Positive Deviants have combined both, aiming for a cross between a gig, creative space and a home for a variety of raucous musicians and DJs at their launch at the Rialto.
Uncle Al and Neil from Stay Sick will make you wish you had an Elvis quiff and a doctorate in dancing – they have a remit to play pretty much anything, including garage, funk, post-punk and new wave – and the headline bands alone would be worth the entrance.
Hill are jazz improvisers known to use double bass, saxophones and beat poetry, and their release earlier this year, ‘Where it was There it Is’, aimed to find the common human themes in different types of traditional music. Van Gosh, who also feature, are a theatrical rock three-piece.
“We’ve been described as Harry Hill meets Led Zep,” says ringleader Richie van Gosh, having mastered a new EP, ‘Military School’, in their home city of Portsmouth days before this headline show.
Sat November 26th, 8pm. Tickets £9/£6, book online.
