The Ferret, Preston

A three-way post-yule live concert.

WHINGE:

Crackedankles Records: "We knew the members of Whinge by sight from our local venue The Ferret where, it would seem, at least one of Whinge was in at any given time.

Their debut gig was a kaleidoscope of conflict and charm that was intimidating and hilarious in equal measures. But underneath the chaos were really memorable, witty and well crafted songs portraying a unique palette of influences and the best front person we'd seen in years. With darts.

Fuelled by nihilism and a playful eye for self deprecation, one pub conversation too many saw their myriad of musical backgrounds combine with their unpredictable approach to life, with the end result: ‘Whinge'. Like the best bands; more a gang than a group.”

Their debut album ‘Something’s Not Quite Right’ is released on strictly limited edition vinyl & CD on Crackedankles Records, who have previously released Hotwax, Thank, Evil Blizzard, King Gizzard ATLW and more.

As DIY as it comes, these first full length recordings were done in drummer Matt's mum's garage.

"These sound great - I can't wait to hear you record them properly" the label said.

"These are proper. This is it".

Don't argue with Whinge.

Something's not quite right.

BABOON:

That Preston band in masks. No, the other one. From sea shanties to glam-rock synth freak-outs, covering bigamy and avian conflict, Baboon went out with a bang in 2013 then stumbled out into the light reformed in 2018. Here they are in all their glory. Where's the beef?

UHR:

Opening a popworld on the marina with real sincerity.
