Littl'ans are no stranger to chaos. Their last tBritish tour saw gigs canceled thanks to, amongst other things, an exploding gas canister and a double booking with '80s legend Echo and the Bunnymen. When they supported Babyshambles they were subjected to the indignities of the rubber glove treatment after their bus was raided for drugs by the police (they were released without charges.) Yet, Littl'ans - whose name is Cockney vernacular meaning 'Little Ones', soldiers on gallantly. After all, in rock and roll the chaos is part of the deal.

They are a four piece comprising singer and guitarist Andrew Aveling, drummer Ben Clarke, guitarist Alex Mahood and bassist Ryan Blagrove and these days they erractically traverse the country playing doo-wop-influenced pop with the dazed, dark charm of a Syd Barrett or a Nick Drake. It's suprisingly delicate music for such a hard-living band - but then romance often exists in squalor.
Main support are Me Tarzan, You Jane!. More on them soon.

Opening up are Honeycube. Fast-paced and feisty, with hooks to impress serious musos and the melodies to keep the floating fans happy, Honeycube clearly have a lot of talent and ideas they want to show off. Rocky stompers with a dirty fuzzy garage sound, filled with experimental sounds, excellent anthemic choruses and energy. We dare you not to sing along to.
