"I don't have any point of reference for that gig. It was total chaos; dreadful by any reasonable measure but somehow awesome at the same time. It was like a government funded youth club where the children are indiscriminately spiked with Angel Dust" - Nick Talbot, Gravenhurst
"I wasn't raving, I wasn't! I danced to buttonhead and then I just looked perplexed until I went home! It was quite funny..." - Team Brick
"You could call it No Rave, but then you'd have to be Theo." - Dan Bennett, Hunting Lodge

Expect to hear anything from hardcore punk to italo disco to rockabilly to bassline to classic rock to europop to riot grrrl to oldskool rave to prog rock to belgian bleep techno to crossover thrash to yacht rock to no wave to indie pop from resident DJs Nadoone, Lucie Red, Christopher, Longsnogs & Richie Moment plus occasional special guests (nobody famous, just more of our mates, lolz). Only £1 to get in if you arrive early enough!!! And arrive early because last time it was one-in-one-out so there.

Oh yeah. If anyone wants to play Illegal Seagull, we usually put on bands/acts/djs that are either black rainbow funcore, rainbow-noise or just dark-jam, but not necessarily all 3 at once. Other than that there are not really any genre limitations within those loose umm, things. We like 'tribal' kind of sounding music too, not in a hippy way. So either message us here or email at [email protected]
