———
Heavyweights of the Sheffield drinks scene are coming together for the ultimate night of rock’n’roll!
Co-headliners Am Elektrogeist and Pancho Grande are fronted by two mainstays of the city’s drinks scene: Dann Paquette (aka Dad Travers), owner/brewer of Saint Mars of the Desert, and Mike Pomranz, owner of The Old Shoe & Not Open; Don’t Come, respectively! Then, in commitment to a theme, the show is being opened by very special guests, The Children of Bamford — a cover band composed of staff members from The Harlequin and The Crow!
AM ELEKTROGEIST — making their live debut! The Sheffield-based foursome offers a beer-drenched spin on synthy garage rock with nothing more than a bunch of analog synths, a bass, a guitar, a 1970’s Soviet drum machine and a dream. They burst onto the scene with their debut EP this March!
PANCHO GRANDE — with their first show in over a year! Sheffield’s favourite slop rock power trio brings raw energy and antics to every gig with an unpolished, high-energy mix of classic punk, garage rock, and Brooklyn-inspired mayhem. The self-admitted dads aspire to push the boundaries of dad rock that actually rocks — and have been working on their debut LP between school holidays for way too long.
& very special guests THE CHILDREN OF BAMFORD — coming out of the pubs and into the big time! Taking their name from the Chris Bamford-owned bars where they work, this collective originally formed to perform covers at The Harlequin. Mike and Dann decided to drag them into a proper music venue to see if people will pay 8 quid for something they can get for free right down the road!
ONE NIGHT ONLY! Come drink with the same people you usually drink with at SMOD, The Old Shoe, and The Harlequin, but this time also watch them all play music on the best stage in the city!
