SUMMARY:Into the Woods Launch Party!

Speeches at 6.30pm.

SUMMARY:HOOF-BLENDERHEAD-NYMPHIC
DESCRIPTION:Nymphic is Alternative nu-metal from the shadows of London. \nBlenderhead isGood old fashion punk from Colchester \nAnd here’s a little excerpt from a recent review for Hoof. 😁“Hot Box Live reviewHoof! I was sure I’d seen before.I was wrong.I was also confused. How to describe what they play? Punk? Hardcore? Stoner? With slap bass? Such a diverse range of sound – I honestly don’t think I’ve heard anything like it.I guess if you imagine Primus and SOAD had a baby and said ‘Go be better than us’. Yeah. They are.Thinking it through this really is one of the most remarkable live bands.”
