Live rock concert by Japanese band Electric Eel Shock, presented by UMP at The Anvil.
Electric Eel Shock are playing The Anvil on Thursday 12 November, with doors opening at 19:00. They're a Japanese rock band known for an energetic, raw sound that blends punk and garage rock, and they've built a reputation for a dynamic stage presence and strong audience interaction. The night is presented by UMP, a local promoter that specialises in rock and alternative nights around Bournemouth.
Their sets usually run between 60 and 75 minutes, drawing on their latest albums alongside fan favourites. The sound sits in that punk-garage crossover — raw, loud, and high-energy, with a good deal of the show coming from how they work the room. If you've seen them before, you'll know the audience interaction is a big part of the thing, so it's more of a shared night than just watching a band from the back.

The Anvil is a mid-sized town-centre room with a capacity of around 400. There's a standing area right in front of the stage for those who want to be in the thick of it, and limited seating at the rear if you'd rather watch from a distance. Doors open about an hour before the first act, and the show is aimed at adults and older teenagers. It's a Thursday night, so it's a mid-week one rather than a weekend gig. The Anvil is at 15 Holdenhurst Road, BH8 8EH, and the music starts at 19:00.
