A night of mod, ska and punk with The Live Jam, On The Fly and The Republic at The Live Rooms.
March of the Mods comes to The Live Rooms on Friday 2 April, a night built around mod, ska and punk. It's a triple bill, with The Live Jam, On The Fly and The Republic all on the same ticket, so you'll get three bands in one go rather than a single act.
If you're not familiar with the styles, the mod, ska and punk label tells you exactly what to expect. Mod brings the sharp, soul-influenced sound of the sixties; ska adds the off-beat rhythms and brassy energy that came out of Jamaica; and punk provides the faster, louder edge. Having all three on one night means the evening will move across those territories, with each band bringing its own take on them. The Live Jam, On The Fly and The Republic share that common ground, so the set should hold together even as the styles shift.
The whole thing is held in Room L1 at The Live Rooms, which is one of the venue's smaller spaces. It's a good size for this kind of line-up, and since it's a single room, you'll be in the same spot for all three bands rather than moving between stages. If you're coming from outside Chester, it's centrally located and easy to get to.

Doors open at 19:00, and the night runs until the 23:00 curfew, so there's plenty of time to catch all three acts. Tickets are £10, and you can find them through the venue's own site.
