Locust Furnace Presents a hot summer night of dirty riffs, doom, prog, sludge and evil intentions at Club 85 in Hitchin.
Featuring:
GURT
Cat friendly premium British sludge merchants return to Club 85 to lambast the masses with their floor shaking party doom. Prepare for lots of dancing amongst the riffs.

NXMAD

KOBA
Instrumental post metal from Norwich. One word to definitely describe these guys is ‘cinematic’. If you dig effects laden prog ala The Grey, then you’re in for a treat.

DREADBEGGAR
Local Herts sludge boys return with the same old misery, punctuated by mountains of fuzz and anger.
