The Fall, Trudy & The Romance, Blood Sport, Tough Tits

The Fall formed in Manchester in 1976 and has existed ever since. Essentially built around its founder and only constant member, Mark E. Smith. The group's music has gone through several stylistic changes over the years, but is often characterised by an abrasive guitar?driven sound and frequent use of repetition, always underpinned by Smith's distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics.

Support comes from Trudy and the Romance. These boys will leave you love drunk and weeping into your whiskey. With Hollywood-tinged melodies and raucous guitar, they spit grit in the teeth of a Colgate grin.
