Vibrato style lead guitar with mesmeric drum patterns, tied together by tactile bass playing, Reciprocate are playing songs from debut album "Yeah Well" (Gringo Records 2020) and newly recorded soon-to-be-released next album "Soul To Burn"<a href="https://romacpuncturerepairs.bandcamp.com/album/yeah-well" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://romacpuncturerepairs.bandcamp.com/album/yeah-well</a>P﻿edro Pedro PedroFor fans of: post-rock, punk, prog and Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. Formed at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, Pedro Pedro Pedro make wide ranging freakish music that pushes at the boundaries of the rock band, utilising knotty arrangements, dizzying rhythms and chaotic energies. Wrapping up twisted funk bass (Lavender Rodriguez), avant-garde keys (Heléna Walsh), free jazz guitars (Billy Lancaster), post-rock drums (Charlie Harris), and lyrics that draw from Gothic literature, punk sloganeering and beat poetry, Pedro Pedro Pedro are fast, spiky, and fun.https://www.instagram.com/pedropedropedromusic/DJsShell ZennerObekaL﻿ois MacDonaldWhirldfuzzzL﻿ee JandaP﻿LEASE NOTE:This is an over-18 eventT﻿he event will be filmed and live-streamed, please be aware that cameras will be in the area and by attending you are agreeing to the possibility of being recorded as part of the crowd
