The Luminaire & On The TV presents
Girls! Girls! Girls! with...
THE DULOKS
+ Royal Treatment Plant
+ Red Letter Suits
+ Rebecca Mosley

Doors 8.00
£5

The Duloks played their first gig less than six months ago at a fancy dress 'Jocks and Nerds' themed party, their costumes stuck and the trio have been wearing shorts and knee socks ever since. With a repertoire of pure fun, their songs include gems such as 'Bad Vegetarian' and 'Help! I'm Turning Into Mick Jagger!', fired by sexy synths and blistering drum beats.

Main support, Royal Treatment Plant - fired up on more than lashings of ginger beer, a mescal worm boring into the brain - unleash their debut single ‘Carry Me’ like some Dickensian pickpocket, silk handkerchief in one hand and knuckleduster in t’other. The Fagin to these artful dodgers is Jamie Watson, erstwhile groomer of such renowned recidivists as the Vaselines, Idlewild and Snow Patrol. Guitars spit and splutter viscerally, slaves to no geometry and no Gang Of Four. This is the Famous Five after all.

Before that, Red Letter Suits eject snarling, surging, squalling riffs, balanced with melodic tales of punky political pop espionage. A muscular rhythm section, a frenetically energetic singer/guitarist with vocals to liberate the soul, they specialise in gasoline-fuelled rock and roll.
First on, Rebecca Mosley; "...a softly shrill, wistful yet silky folk-pop siren, Rebecca's sparse updating of traditional folk exudes a campfire warmth, expansive and lonely, owing as much to Bob Dylan's rootsy blues-folk as it does to the likes of Jefferson Airplane."
