Casino Rockets + Slab
April 5 @ 9:00 pm - 11:00 pm
CASINO ROCKETS deliver an expansive sound, perfectly made for the live setting. Dynamic shifts in rhythm and structure, combine effortlessly with soaring melodies and memorable hook lines to deliver compelling live performances, that captivate and entertain audiences. The band self-released their debut album, REALITY DISTORTION FIELD in 2021. Produced by Steve Whitfield (The Cure, The Mission, Jane Weaver). Influenced by bands like Depeche Mode, Radiohead and British Sea Power, the album was described as “Mature, developed and thought out…” – and as “A work of sublime intelligence, consistently entertaining and constantly engaging”. The band took some time out in late 2021 but regrouped in summer 2023 with new music written and soon to be released.
“Imagine if Pink Floyd and Depeche Mode had a child and you may come close to capturing the sound of Casino Rockets.” – Aah! magazine
“The strength of Casino Rockets is that they use the many and varied sonic possibilities of electronics to create mood and depth whilst retaining the earthy passion and warmth of good old fashioned bass, drums and guitar” – Punk in focus
Mancunian Post Rock three piece Slab create rich sonic landscapes full of dynamic shifts and texture but aren’t afraid to rock out in a satisfying fashion either.
“Slab create thrilling post punk/ post hardcore full of dynamics” – Louder than war
