The Pump Room @ The Lamb, Trowbridge, BA14 8BNWHITE HILLS
White Hills (Rocket Recordings) are a trio from Brooklyn, New York. They formed out of the need to forge Space Rock into the 21st Century and with just the right blend of psychedelia and hypnotic grooves, WHITE HILLS weaves in and out of anthemic chants, deep space bleeps and other worldly madness.

GONGA
A high volume/low frequency sound of grindingly heavy doom & furious rock, gut-wrenching yet ponderous in a hypnotic way, the Brothers Gonga are now joined by Peter Theobalds (ex-Akercocke) on bass and Matt “Team Brick” Williams on vocals. Still damaging eardrums with their fantastic stripped back, stoner blues rock, heavy biting riffs and primal drum beats, the true spirit of British heavy rock lives on in Gonga (Invada Records)

CHIPPER
Armed with cello, laptop and a rather stunning voice, a rare solo performance from Chipper (aka Charlotte Nicholls, who among other things spends her time playing for bands such as Portishead, Crippled Black Phoenix, Oxbow, SJ Esau, Mea Culpa, North Sea Navigator and more- the list goes on...) is something not to be missed.
