EASTSIDE JIMMY! w. Ewe And Friends & The Collider

EASTSIDE JIMMY! w. Ewe And Friends & The Collider
£10+ | 7.30pm | Friday 5th December.

Club 85 welcomes you to a gloriously unhinged night of punk, feral funk and folklore. Expect sharp songwriting, unruly energy and three bands hell-bent on leaving your ears ringing and your heart happy.

EASTSIDE JIMMY
Veteran North Herts band Eastside Jimmy needs no introduction. But don’t worry- if you don’t know them yet, you certainly soon will. This North Herts pop-punk powerhouse features local legends John Moran, Stuart Dinsey, Jon Thurlow (previously of Chron Gen), and SMASH drummer Rob Hague, coming together for a night of loud, fast, and unapologetically punchy punk. Known for their sharp songwriting, chaotic charm, and high-impact live shows, Eastside Jimmy deliver the kind of set that reminds you exactly why you fell in love with the genre in the first place.

EWE AND FRIENDS
Ewe and Friends are a 7-piece genre-hopping whirlwind bringing together the best of disco-funk, croonery, and rock. This bunch of self-proclaimed “naughty, arrogant children” bring a healthy dose of roguish charm to every stage they step on. With energetic boundary-pushing arrangements and a reputation for riotously whimsical live shows, Ewe & Friends are as captivating as they are unpredictable- and far too much fun to miss! Think Talking Heads meets The Divine Comedy at a particularly chaotic dinner party hosted by The Kinks.

THE COLLIDER
The Collider are a Hitchin-based four-piece serving up indie-folk originals with a twist of the arcane. Multi-instrumentalists with a flair for the lyrical and the slightly uncanny, their songs wander through tales of witches, hares, crows, mushrooms, and liberty- equal parts folklore and freedom. With a sound that drifts between delicate and driving, they bring earthy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and a set that feels like stepping into a half-remembered dream somewhere between the woods and the pub.
