RAW POWER – Festival 27th-29th May 2016
Posted: February 17, 2016 in FESTIVALS, MUSICTags: Raw Power, Rocket Recordings
The intimate and unassuming Dome in Tufnell Park is once again set to host Raw Power Festival; an event during which the expansive and experimental bands that lie within transform this small London venue into a conduit for the world of avant-garde music. From the 27th-29th May; Baba Yaga’s Hut will curate a festival that boasts a Rube Goldberg Techno Machine, the first UK show in twenty years from industrial legends Test Dept. (a band known for trading in instruments for factory scrap metal and machinery) and more art noise bands than can be found within Brian Eno’s reasonably-priced shed.
But as with Raw Power’s spiritual cousin, Birmingham’s Supersonic Festival, the festival is less about the bands you know and more about your new favourite band you’ve never heard of. Sporting the biggest bill they’ve had yet, and an expansion into the Boston Arms pub, it’s hard to recommend missing any bands…so instead here’s a selection of bands you should be getting excited for in an adventurous festival for adventurous people.

Following the release of their new single ‘Hearts in Motion’
Yuck recently announced their return with a 13 date UK tour, including a Headline show at Gold Sounds Festival. Their new album, ‘Stranger Things’ will be released on the 27th February. Don’t miss a set which will include hits such as ‘The Wall’, ‘Get Away’, ‘Southern Skies’ and ‘Operation’
VANT
Joining the headliners are one of 2016’s most talked about, up and coming garage rockers, VANT. Having already shared a stage with the likes of Royal Blood, Drenge and The Bohicas, and with overwhelming support from the likes of NME and BBC Radio 1 (including a spot at their Future Festival), the-se newcomers are ready to show what they’re worth at this year’s festival.
BLACK HONEY
You may recognise their punk-like guitar tones and Izzy Baxter’s vocals from the track ‘Corrine’ which received an incredible reception from radio stations around the UK. Having played the country’s festival circuit and supported The Wytches on tour, Brighton based Black Honey are making an exciting appearance at Gold Sounds 2016.
HOMESHAKE
HOMESHAKE is the solo project of Edmonton-born, Mon-treal-based musician Peter Sagar. MIDNIGHT SNACK’ his 2nd record is a must listen to. Much of the record was written following Sagar’s dizzying time on the road as touring guitarist with Mac Demarco, reflecting on the loneliness that plagued him towards the end of his run and the longing for life back home in Montreal.
TRUDY
TRUDY joins the festival’s line up with their ‘Beach Boys’ influenced music. Having received airplay from Radio X and Beats 1, Trudy’s charming antics are sure to lure you in.
GILLBANKS
GILLBANKS are making delicious noise in the capital. The band are led by the tenacious, but free spirited Sam Gillbanks and are very new to the scene. Check them out on their Leeds debut…
Lot’s more to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets available from Lunatickets // SEE Tickets // Jumbo Records // Crash Records // Songkick // Brudenell Social Club
