The Great Escape Q + A :: Working Men's Club




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.

Next up is Working Men's Club. The post-punk trio, who hail from Todmorden in West Yorkshire, unveiled their debut single 'Bad Blood' in February. Comprised of 17-year-old singer and guitarist, Syd Minsky-Sargeant, guitarist/vocalist Giulia Bonometti, 23, and drummer Jake Bogacki, 18, their sound of angular guitars, electronic drums and cracking bassline has just recently seen them signed to Heavenly Recordings.

Yes, it’s our first time. We’re really looking forward to playing.

2. Are you a seasoned Escaper as a punter, or a first-time newbie?

First time newbie.

3. Will you be a Brighton day-tripper or staying for the whole event?

4. The highlight of your set will be...?

The tail end of our set.

5. Where will we be likely to find you after your set: at the bar, on the beach, stuffing fish n chips, or other?

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?
