Trupa Trupa (Poland) and The Room
An incredible Sunday double-header from TUFF LIFE BOOGIE!
Trupa Trupa are a post-punk band from Gdańsk, Poland, known for their unique blend of brooding alternative rock and psychedelic influences.
Their music has received international recognition, with the Los Angeles Times calling them "one of the best rock bands doing business now" and The Guardian highlighting their mix of "off-kilter melodies, dense instrumentation, and lyrical explorations of the darkest side of the human condition." Pitchfork said : The Polish band's latest shows that they don't make protest music so much as process music, indulging the ugliest aspects of post-punk and post-hardcore as a means to protect what's good and beautiful in this world." Other prominent Trupa Trupa supporters include Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins.
After their sell-out gig in Manchester before Christmas, Tuff Life Boogie is delighted to have secured for Preston one of only two UK club dates Trupa Trupa are playing alongside their appearance at Bearded Theory Festival in Derbyshire.
The Room
Championed by John Peel and the music press, Dave Jackson's The Room tick all the right boxes with their spiky, tightly-wound post punk sound.
In the next century, people will stumble across The Room leader Dave Jackson's prodigious output since 1979 and will be amazed by how his talent did not get the credit that it warranted at the time. Anyone who checks the guy's track record, which also includes Benny Profane, Dust, Dead Cowboys, The Cathedral Mountaineers and The Room in the Wood, will discover that Dave is now responsible for at least a dozen fantastic albums, all of which should be set texts for anyone into literate, melodic indie-pop with great vocals and lyrics.
In the afternoon, The Continental will also be screening 'Violet City' , the film Dave Jackson put together in the mid 2010s with Director and Producer John Maxwell, which features a gothic fantasy script Dave wrote about a character on a quest to discover the truth about his mother's disappearance, unaware that his recently acquired violet eyes will lure all kinds of villainy to him, from crazed aristocrats to immortal inter-dimensional beings.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to see Violet City followed by a great show from two amazing bands.
