Hey Colossus

Hey Colossus play Southside (the former St Katherine's Church) on Saturday 31 October, their first Lincoln show. They're sharing the bill with Concrete Ships, For I The Badger and Tiger Warsaw, so it's a full night of four bands rather than a single headliner.

If you've never come across them, Hey Colossus are hard to pin down. They've been together for over twenty years and describe themselves as a "national treasure with a groove you can't bottle," pulling from noise rock, psychedelia and garage rock. This is their first Lincoln date, and it comes with a new lineup: Thomas House, of Charlottefield, Sweet Williams and AAA Gripper, joins the six-piece.

They started five years to the day in SouthfuckingLondon with the initial aim 'Fudge Tunnel V. Can.'; their first gig was at the Buffalo Bar, Highbury Corner, in September 2003 with Trencher, and the debut album HATES YOU followed in January 2004. Since then they've played with Boris, Oneida, Comets On Fire and SHIT+SHINE, and their sound takes in sludge, doom and krautrock, with Unsane, Neu!, Circle, Corrupted and Eyehategod cited as influences.

Doors open at 19:00. Early bird tickets are £11.00 including fees plus a £1.00 booking fee; general sale is £13.75 including fees plus a £1.25 booking fee.
