Charges: £8 in adv. / £5 conc / £10 door
Soundwaves is proud to welcome We Start Fires to Woodbridge to headline the Soundwaves Album launch and 1st Birthday party.
"Sexy, sassy, incendiary new wave, like Blondie doing Elastica doing Weezer. We Start Fires will launch a petrol bomb at your preconceptions." - NME
"Laser guided debut with sass rock dynamics that would do their foremothers proud." - Uncut
"The best punk of Blondie and the pop sensibilities of Siouxie and the Banshees. A blazing trail of balls out new wave for the noughties." - Artrocker
The best bit? Support comes in the shape of 10 young bands from the Suffolk Coastal area, including Woodbridge bands Legomen, Clay and Dreams Within Nightmares who have been recording the Soundwaves album all summer.
A gig worth checking if you like your upfront indie & seeing the best in new talent.
