Gig Guide 25th June 2018

​MONDAY 25TH JUNE
FLIGHT OF THE CONCORDS
Appropriately enough for the comedy two-piece, this show has been rescheduled from April 1. One half of Kiwi duo Flight of the Conchords Bret McKenzie sustained what he called “a very rock ‘n’ roll injury”in the weeks preceding the original date, when he fell down a flight of stairs, breaking two bones in his hand.
 
WEDNESDAY 27TH JUNE
WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM
Wolves in the Throne Room re-imagine black metal as an ode to rain storms, wood smoke and the wild energies of the Pacific Northwest. Their first studio album, Diadem of 12 Stars came out in 2006 and since that time, Wolves in the Throne Room have become one of the most potent and highly regarded bands in extreme music.
Plus support from WODE and Dawn Ray’d
