In honour of south-coast jazz-Punk band Leeroy Salmon’s first single release we are hosting a night of high-octane live music alongside some politically charged punk-poetry.

Kicking the night off will be Jude Sides with some chilling poetry reminiscent of John Cooper Clarke.

This will be followed by a consistently wild performance from Open Fly, an incredible up and coming punk band, as well as another act yet to be announced.

Leeroy Salmon will be headlining the night showcasing their uncompromising sound alongside their debut single “KIM CHI”

Leeroy Salmon with Material Goods and Snouting

Big Fish are taking over AATMA on December 5th for a night of electronic, post-hardcore fuelled mayhem.

For this one we’ll be welcoming back jazz-punk band Leeroy Salmon, who’ll be providing skunked up sounds straight from the south coast. These upstream swimmers are no joke live, always guaranteeing a high energy performance.

We’ll also be joined by Material Goods, a crazy heavy two piece who combine hardcore, hip-hop and electronic wizardry to create a brutal yet unique set of head splitting sounds.

Alongside Snouting, a post-hardcore outfit that’ll take you right back to the early 2000s, although the group have a refreshingly modern take on the genre – combining rich, evocative melodies with relentless energy.

We’re super hyped to bring you this lineup – from post-punk, hardcore and experimental music fans alike, this ain’t one to miss.

Peach, Sans Froid, Pigment, Bureau De Change

Perfectly Cromulent Productions Presents:
PEACH X SANS FROID
As part of their joint tour, the two bands will be gracing Manchester with some powerful noises and beautiful vocals.
PEACH are a four-piece noise rock band from Bristol UK. Taking influence from early Desert Rock, Punk and Grunge ideologies. It’s noisy, it’s angry, it’s honest.
“They come across like a fuzzing, propulsive ball of pissed off energy, with a soul at the centre of it all. If you were a fan of the Dope, Guns N’ Fucking In The Streets compilation albums, and love the idea of those scrapping with Amyl & The Sniffers with shades of Dry-era PJ Harvey, then you’ll love PEACH.”
SANS FROID are an Art-Rock band hailing from Bristol, you can expect discordant riffs, haunting vocals and lots of in your face noise – but it’s all fantastic, we promise.
PIGMENT are a brand new 3 piece emo band spawning from their previous act – VOGONS. These 3 lads are incredibly talented, so you can expect an absolute treat from them… and what’s more, 3 piece vocal harmonies!
BUREAU DE CHANGE – The rambunctious and loud local crime syndicate that no one asked for.
Flora, Will, Connor, and Louis have been playing all over the UK and Europe with other industry darling projects and have come together to create a sound that truly stands out amongst the ever-growing and developing UK post-punk scene.
The band’s recognizable writing style full of sardonic humor and decisive political messaging is carried by their strong feminist undertones, using striking imagery to draw idiosyncratic parallels to the world around them and the romanticized version of femininity. This is juxtaposed by the disjointed musical prowess (or lack of) to create a definitive sense of dissonance. The group has worked together to create a melodic and striking wall of sound that fills your entire body, a band that’s strength comes through in their love of performance, both live and recorded.
