Zap Euphoria + Jar of Blind Flies + Dum Fun

Entry Requirements: 18+

Zap Euphoria - Zap Euphoria are a fresh, eccentric 5 piece from Tunbridge Wells. Consisting of frontman Jude Reid on destructive lead vocals and guitar, Erik Miles on thunderous bass and punk-rooted spoken word, Hayden Sudlow on the tantalisingly acidic lead guitar, Arthur Wilson on a drum stool when he isn't on the floor, and Heidi Haswell rocking the beefy Hammond organ with elegant harmonies . They sit on the boundaries of psych rock travelling into mixtures of garage punk and desert rock, graced by the 60s swing and reaching into influences of folk and indie realms. Landing themselves in a place of sensation, a place of euphoria.

*Jar Of Blind Flies - * Brighton’s Jar of Blind flies are quickly building a reputation in grassroots scenes across the country. Having already sold-out self-promoted headlines in Bristol and Brighton, worked with promoters up and down the UK and supported the likes of Snayx, Sick Joy and Gaffa tape Sandy.

However, it’s the bands live show that truly sets them apart. Described by The Brighton source as a ‘Tsunami of sound’ that are ‘as likely to turn you on as they are to get you moving’. Their infectious energy has seen them play to sold-out crowds of 350 people at Brighton’s Cost of living fundraiser, Support some of the hottest emerging acts In the UK and even sell out their debut show in Bristol (A self-promoted headline).

*Dumfun - * Dumfun have become a potent force in the UK alternative rock scene with a thrashing sonic that leaves legs tired and necks sore.  The trio first came to fruition in 2022, when Conah White (guitar/lead vocals) enlisted the aid of old friend Sophie Douglas (bass/vocals) and rhythmic metronome Jed Johnson (drums) to form this exciting new project. Simply put, the project was born out of the ideas and emotions the band aimed to evoke. After all, it’s all just a bit of Dumfun. After first making a name for themselves in their hometown of Brighton, the trio have hardly stopped to catch a breath headlining sold-out shows across iconic grassroots venues as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Sickjoy, Projector, and Snake Eyes, as well as soon to play with local legends Tigercub in October.  Espousing the alt-rock feel of the mid-2010s, the trio blend a compelling mix of grunge, punk & alternative rock echoing greats such as Dinosaur Pile Up, Pulled Apart By Horses, and Demob Happy.  Due to release their second single ‘Alone Again’ in December 2023, the group celebrate with their first joint tour, forming an alt-alliance with fellow noisy alt-rockers Jar of Blind Flies.
