Live gig by Brighton art-rock, garage and post-punk act congratulations at The Ferret.
congratulations play The Ferret on Thursday 12 November, with doors opening at 19:00. They're a Brighton-based art-rock act who describe themselves as a hall of mirrors party troop, equal parts devils and tarts. Their sound pulls from art-rock, garage, synth-pop and post-punk, built around taut fizzing guitars, caustic electronics, huge fuzz bass and booming percussive grooves.
Their debut album, Join Hands, came out on Bella Union and leans into that mix with a touch of disco. They've built their reputation on raw energy, tight instrumentation and electrifying live shows, with lyrics that look at modern life, love and self-discovery. Critics and fans have drawn comparisons to Gossip, Pom Poko, Jockstrap and Sleigh Bells, so you've got a fair idea of the territory they're working in.

The night is at The Ferret, a 200-capacity grassroots venue in the heart of Preston's student village that's been making a racket in the city since 2006. It's all ages, with under-18s needing a responsible adult, and the room is dog-friendly. Tickets are £8 in advance and £10 on the door.
