BOBI #24

Tickets £6 (and free BOBI fanzine)Door £7

Saturday, 25 April

Family of Addiction (punk / rock)
Matthew Aylett (Americana)
Shadowfen (Power metal)

Shadowfen are at the vanguard of Mythical Power Metal for the coming Apocalypse and have left their fantasy realm for one night to bring their Orc-slaying, battle hammer swinging, Warrior Metal to BOBI. You are in for some METAL mayhem.

Nottingham noiseniks Family of Addiction have been described as “loud, chaotic and brimming with explosive energy” as well as tales of wall shaking ferocity in and around the East Midlands alternative/Punk scene. It’s rough and ready, dense and dirty and it’s hitting Boston!

Matthew Aylett returns to BOBI with his Autumnal acoustic Americana. His musical pointers are from across the Pond. Blues-y Bob Dylan numbers, woozy Phosphorescent-esque introspection, Leonard Cohen’s and Towns van Zandt’s lyrical prowess … it all combines to create an evocative, maudlin, twilight hour, whisky by the fire sense of melancholia and it’s rather beautiful. As you’ll see.
