We are absolutely delighted to announce that the brilliant One Sided Horse will be opening proceedings on our TV FACE album launch party at Kanteena on Thursday 4th September.

One Sided Horse is the slightly more chilled project from Evil Blizzard's singing drummer, Mark Whiteside, whose songs have been likened to a quieter Bowie or Nick Cave. Over the last 5 years he has released two band albums featuring members of Embrace, Space, The Animals and a whole host of talented musicians, as well as touring the UK and Europe.

This rare outing for Mark as a solo performer will serve a more delicate sound to ease you into night before the onslaught of power to come.
