EVIL BLIZZARD
heavy psych // post-punk // krautrock // space rock
Three masked bassists, a guitarist who can't play guitar, a singing drummer and a pig with cleavers. The aesthetic of the masks, a sort of Lancashire Slipknot where the cheapness adds to the distress – and the effect – and the Hammer house is always next door, is the perfect vehicle to display themselves to the world. Deadly serious and seriously theatrical, it gives them the latitude to do and say and create whatever they like. This freedom is wonderfully exploited; the music never settles, never sits still, a hyperactive child exploring corners ignored by others and always finding treasure buried in the dirt.
PYNCHER
Pyncher are a Manchester-based band formed by Sam Blakeley, Harvey O’Toole, Britt Dewhurst and Jack Rainbow. The quartet are quickly establishing themselves as one of the UK's most electrifying acts with their high energy, genre blurring live sets.
HAWK OWL
Neurotic Northern millennials staring the reaper in the face. A fuzzy blend of psych, dream pop and space rock, featuring former members of Tero Kulero.
dead things
3-piece powerhouse embracing the grit of garage rock, while flaunting fractured riffs and infectious melodies. Hailing from Preston, dead things, have a catalogue of post-punk ditties about chilling tales of old Lancashire and horror movie final girls.
THE DIRT
The Dirt are a transglobal collaboration between Japanese musician Sachiko and partner Jack (aka Leon the pig Farmer), a spoken word artist living in Manchester UK. they combine Psych shoe gaze guitars, electronic rhythms and abrasive spoken verse to full genre bending effect.
THE DAVE SHURR DUO
Preston-based DIY musician and producer Dave Shurr creates his music from the ground up. Blending laid-back, atmospheric sounds with an unmistakably personal approach, Dave is one to keep an eye (and ear) on. Dave is joined by Preston drum legend & studio collaborator Aidan Poland, to form The Dave Shurr Duo.
Great news! We are not finished with The Ferret’s 20th Birthday celebrations yet! (If you can’t milk a 20th anniversary, what can you milk?)
The Ferret opened in late Sept / early October way back in 2006 (as The Mad Ferret). So to commemorate that (slightly vague) date, we’re very proud to present:
