We are over the moon to confirm the following total power rock concert
TORCHE
Torche is a band from Miami, Florida, United States, they play a distinctive style of stoner/ sludge metal. The band categorizes their music as ‘’stoner pop’‘.
The group was formed in 2004 by Steve Brooks (ex-Floor), Juan Montoya (ex-Floor, ex-Cavity, ex-Ed Matus’ Struggle), Jonathan Nuñez and Rick Smith (who also played in the grindcore bands Shitstorm and Tyranny of Shaw, and the screamo band Tunes for Bears to Dance To). According to MTracks.com: “Their music has a unique, hard-hitting sound that provokes a wide range of emotions, and they have a large fan base throughout the world. ” They have toured with Mogwai, Isis, Pelican, Black Cobra, Baroness, Jesu, The Sword, Stinking Lizaveta, Harvey Milk and Boris. Steve Brooks, however, has said that they don’t consider themselves a metal band. In describing the band’s sound, Smith said in an interview: “To me it’s mostly a combination of everything we listen to collectively as a band. We take what we like from what we grew up on and use it as creatively as we can. I think the meshing of different sounds comes naturally just because we all have different musical backgrounds yet have a ton of common interests.” In terms of touring, Brooks said Torche is getting more of a young crowd.
On April 8, 2008, the band released their second full-length, entitled Meanderthal. It was produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge, Genghis Tron). It was met with critical acclaim, including that from Decibel Magazine who ranked Meanderthal #1 on their list of the Top 40 Extreme Albums of 2008 as well as an 8.2/10 by Pitchfork Media. In an interview, Brooks said the band themselves came up with the album’s concept in terms of artwork and packaging.

Hot support from
Part Chimp:
Part Chimp is an English rock band from camberwell in london formed by Tim Cedar (vocals and guitar), Jon Hamilton (a.k.a. Drumm Chimp) (drums) of Ligament and Nick Pryor (who left the band after their first record) in 2000. Current line-up includes Iain Hinchliffe (guitar) and Tracy Bellaries (bass). They play rock music with elements of noise. Both on record and live, Part Chimp have a reputation for sounding extremely loud.
Comparable to a jam session between Sonic Youth and Lighting Bolt, these UK noise mongers obviously enjoy pushing sonics to the max. Their records are released in the UK, Europe & Japan by Rock Action Records and in the US by Monitor Records.

CHICKENHAWK:
According to Wikipedia, Chickenhawk are a rock band from Leeds. Having consistently toured all over the UK since their inception, they are now a live spectacle to behold. Through their hard work and determination, they have been hailed by Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Daniel P Carter and generally lauded where praise for heavy bands is generally not given. Recently Chickenhawk recorded a live session at Maida Vale Studios for Mike Davies Punk Show on BBC Radio 1 & will continue their relentless tour schedule throughout 2010. A new release coming soon. OH YES.
