Icerink, Oedipus & the Mama's Boys, Call Connie @ Roots 13/03

Icerink are a trio practicing extreme noisegaze magic from the city of Dundee. Sometimes loud, sometimes beautiful, always Icerink.

Oedipus and the Mama’s Boys are a post-punk/post-rock/dance-punk trio serving up songs about love, hate, angst, and why your mum’s lasagna is the only thing keeping you alive. Charlie croons like a man who still calls his mum after every rejection, Sam lays down grooves so so deep they double as a therapy session, and Tom drums like he’s trying to drown out his mum’s voicemails. Their live shows are a glorious mess of flailing limbs, awkward banter, and at least one song dedicated to “all the mums out there—especially mine, who still does my washing.” Catch them before your mum grounds you.

Call Connie rounded of 2024 in style, supporting Youth Sector at King Tuts as part of The Curve festival, before releasing their third single “City Chic. Taking influences from shoegaze and British indie artists, new and old, like Fontaines D.C and The Smiths, Call Connie take classic indie rock to the next level!
