Ryan's Gig Guide - February 2019

 Tuesday 5th February Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham Fast becoming known as a band to watch out for, they are purveyors of distorted yet melodic guitar riffs and courageously honest songwriting, glazed with a 70s punk rock aes- thetic. Debut single 'Johnny', with its one-take music video that was filmed on the West Coast of Ireland, became a YouTube hit and also achieved national radio plays on BBC Radio 1 (Huw Stephens), Radio X and BBC Radio 6music (Steve Lamacq) in 2017. Having been compared to the likes of The White Stripes, The Undertones and Blondie, they played the prestigious Glastonbury Fes- tival’s BBC Introducing Stage 2017 which also marked their first TV appearance. 2018 saw the 3-piece play Reading festival, Isle ofWight Festival and Kendal Calling and are hotly tipped by the taste-making club night This Feeling. The band grew up together, with twins, Conor (guitar) and Danny (drums), being cousins with singer & bassist, Erin Grace. Their debut EP is scheduled to be released in April 2019 and could well see them catapulted onto the biggest stages of the world - catch them while you can when they support The Murder Capital with Bad Girlfriend.  www.facebook.com/thecosmicsband Supporting The Murder Capital with Bad Girlfriend rgg Feb 2019 21 www.ryansgigguide.com
