Over-14s night with the psychobilly band Guana Batz and Planet Strange, presented by Good Wrecking Tonight and Future Transmissions.
The Guana Batz and Planet Strange are playing FaceBar on Wednesday 25 November, a double bill put on by Good Wrecking Tonight and Future Transmissions. It's a psychobilly night, so if you're into that sort of thing, it's one of the few times this kind of bill comes to Reading.
The Guana Batz are the big name here. They formed in Feltham, West London, back in 1982, and they're one of the pioneering bands of the British psychobilly scene. In the eighties, they were closely associated with Klub Foot, the London club that became a hub for the whole scene, and they're still active today, touring internationally and putting out new music. If you've never heard them, they're a good place to start with the sound.
Sharing the bill is Planet Strange, who describe their own thing as 'infectious rot 'n' roll' — tales of horror and damnation paired with a wild rockin' rhythm. Between the two of them, you've got the psychobilly roots and the horror-themed rock 'n' roll, so the night should hold together.
