The Sonic Tonic ensemble are taking over the Windmill Brixton on Friday 3rd April for a BBQ all-dayer, with no less than eight bands on offer.
They enthused to Brixton Buzz:
Forget the heritage acts and the overpriced stadium lager. Bad Friday returns: Eight bands. One ticket. Food included. An all-dayer built on high-velocity, DIY ethics…and the smell of charcoal.
YAANG are Manchester’s premier pop-art provocateurs. They aren’t “post-punk”—they’re fully carbonated, caffeinated, and non-genre compliant. Expect motorik synths, drum machines, and chaotic energy that moves from gliding 80s power ballads to airport barfights in a single heartbeat.
COWBOYY: South Coast art-pop architects. Part math-rock, part jazz, entirely confusing to those who like their music predictable.
PIGEON DOG: North London grunge. Gritty, filthy, and bursting with spiky riffs that tackle gender dysphoria and dissociation with a sneer.
NATIONAL PLAYBOYS: Edinburgh’s post-punk 5-piece. High-impact energy meeting synth-driven hooks.
ASBESTOS SALESMAN: Southend’s “post-slop” duo. Recorded in a shed, sounding like Squid meeting Blur in a trough of toxic positivity.
NAOMI IN BLUE: British-Chilean Americana. A striking blend of folk-soul and heavy-synth power, anchored by a voice that stops rooms.
JUST KIDS: An indie-pop duo where Springsteen meets Fugazi. Emotional, relatable, and dripping in second-hand smoke.
SASHES: South London’s 17-foot-tall (combined) three-piece. Scuzzy riffs, domestic rebellion, and a live presence that leaves you exhilarated and uneasy.
It’s an adventure in angular pop and beautiful noise. Eat the food. Hear the future. See you at the front.
