PATHOS ATE BATHOS

BENEATH THE SURFACE PRESENT SHOOTING AT UNARMED MEN, MARCH 3

Haywire alt-rockers Shooting At Unarmed Men have won quite a reputation these last twelve months, exponents of a ragged, clatter-along live show spiked with eccentric humour and jerky, caffine-dosed energy. The splinter group of Jon Chapple from Cardiff’s sorely-missed Mclusky, Shooting At Unarmed Men have rather hit the ground running, turning out a debut album for Too Pure, losing a bassist, finding a new bassist, and recording a new album – provisionally entitled ‘Yes! Tinnitus’ – in little more than twelve months. Support on the night comes courtesy of FTSE100 – described on their MySpace as “faux-metal played by middle class music snobs” and Bristol’s very wonderful Bucky, whose drummer has one arm, but successfully plays the floor tom with his stump. Awesome.

Affairs kick off at 8pm, with tickets retailing for £5 a head, available on the door.
