It's time once again for Little Indie's annual seaside excursion to The Great Escape - and for our usual pick of some of the artists we have down for bringing something special to the Brighton festival.
Today we feature Australian punks, Cable Ties. The Melbourne-based trio - Jenny McKechnie, vocals and guitar; drummer Shauna Boyle, and bassist Nick Brown - offer abrasive, politically-minded jams, wrapped up with a rock 'n' roll swagger and punk sneer. Their latest offering, the fierce and hypnotic ‘Choking to Choose’, was released on April 26 as part of the RIP Records Introduces Series.
1. First time at TGE?
Yup.
2. Are you a seasoned Escaper as a punter, or a first-time newbie?
First timer.
3. Will you be a Brighton day-tripper or staying for the whole event?
There for the whole 3 day slog.
4. The highlight of your set will be...?
Piercing feedback...
5. Where will we be likely to find you after your set: at the bar, on the beach, stuffing fish n chips, or other?
Feeding chips to the seagulls. We've been told that they're massive.
6. Aside from building sand(-or probably more pebble)castles on the beach with your little bucket and spade, what else will you be up to in Brighton?
Hanging with our mates Body Type and giving their manager a hard time.
7. Who else playing at TGE are you hoping to see yourself, or would
recommend others should put on their must see list?
Tropical Fuck Storm should be on everyone's list. They're feral.
8. Please give your festival appearance/s, venues and stage times.
Thurs May 9 - The Queer Escape, The Richmond, 12:30am
Friday May 10 - TGE showcase, Volks, 7pm
Sat May 11 - The Aussie BBQ, The Beach, 1.05pm
Sat May 11 - Bitch Craft presents Bitch Street, East Street Tap, 12:30am
9. Any tips for festival goers?
Drink some water at some stage. You won't regret it.
10. Complete this sentence: "You must see us at The Great Escape because..."
... we're nearly as interesting as watching Netflix in your accommodation.
