Garageland and Daltons Present the Menstrual Cramps, French Toast, HISSY FIST, Phat Problem, [Brick]

Garageland and Daltons are teaming up for a Sunday night of loud, scrappy, politically charged punk and DIY mayhem at Daltons on Sunday 1 November. It's a co-promoted bill that runs the length of the UK's underground, bringing together five bands from Bristol, London and right here in Brighton.

Coming from Bristol are The Menstrual Cramps, a queer-punk four-piece they describe as raw punk, post-punk and riot grrrl energy. They're joined by HISSY FIST, another Bristol outfit — a queer, femme and non-binary political punk collective built on heavy riffs, electrifying beats and ethereal harmonies. From London, French Toast blend punk and soul with a feminist indie-punk edge and a theatrical, unpredictable live show.

The Brighton contingent takes up the rest of the bill. Phat Problem play street-punk that's fast, direct and politically charged, and [Brick] bring transfeminist hardcore punk. Between them, the night covers a fair bit of ground within the DIY punk scene, with the Bristol and London acts travelling down to share the stage with the local names.

Garageland is presenting the night as a statement of support for DIY punk and underground grassroots live music. It's an 18+ event, and the music starts at 6:30 PM. Tickets are £6 in advance and £8 on the door, so it's a bit cheaper to get yours sorted beforehand. You'll find Daltons under Brighton Zip, Lower Promenade, Madeira Drive, Brighton BN2 1TB.
