Next gig: Is a night we are putting on ourselves and it promises to be amazing. At this gig we have the cream of UK garage punk playing. Appearing that night are The Moon, The Vermin, Harley Street Clinic, The Vipers and, of course, Bubblegum Screw. It's on the 18th of November at Bar Monsta in Camden (right next to the tube stop). You'd be crazy not to go.

It's a fine line between pleasure and pain. Notice the blood splatters between the pickups on the guitar.
