12–2 Pyre

Brighton based metal out­fit Pyre are look­ing to make their mark upon the UK metal scene in 2010. With influ­ences includ­ing Iron Maiden, Nightwish and The Off­spring, Pyre com­bine a mix of soar­ing melod­ies, pound­ing riffs and mem­or­able hooks to cre­ate their own slant on con­tem­por­ary metal. Using a sym­phonic driven, almost orches­tral basis for their music, Pyre are set apart amongst much of the UK metal scene. Check them out on: www.myspace.com/pyreweb

2–4 The Dr. Spacetoad Experience

The Dr. Spacetoad Experience

Dr Spacetoad, fea­tur­ing the debon­air Dr Spacetoad him­self, onstage with Capt Sens­ible & Monty Oxy­moran from the Damned, Pete Berk from Jonny Moped, and Capt Barrington-Whyte. Per­form­ing this Sat­urday (6th of Feb) at the Brun­swick Pub in Hove will be Dr Spacetoad’s 1st appear­ance in Brighton since 2007 and prom­ises to be another great RMC his­toric event!

4–6 Baba Slips

Baba Slips

Baba Slips are a five-piece eclectic funk out­fit, who have been play­ing in and around Brighton since 2007. Their sound is a syn­thesis of funk, soul, blues, afrobeat, dub, reg­gae and hip hop with a strong enough vein of pop run­ning through their sets to keep the live shows exil­har­at­ing and the hooks stuck in your head for weeks after­wards. Hav­ing rocked most of the main ven­ues in Brighton includ­ing the Komedia, The Conchord 2, The Blind Tiger Club Speak­easy and the Volks, and fol­low­ing the suc­cess of sev­eral Gla­ston­bury sets, Baba Slips are cur­rently work­ing on new mater­ial and gig­ging, as you would expect, and widen­ing their scope bey­ond the para­met­ers of Brighton. Get in con­tact at www.myspace.com/babaslips. They are play­ing a free gig at the Cob­blers Thumb pub, Pre­ston Cir­cus on Feb 19th at 9PM.

6–8 Lower the Tone

Lower The Tone

Gui­tar driven elec­tric blues extra­vag­anza formed in 2007 by SW. Pre­pare for face-gurning solos and angelic har­mon­ies!! (Ok, maybe not angelic…)
