4th Birthday @thelubberfiend this weekend! As always feel privileged to help run the venue and put on music that we love. Hope to see some familiar faces! Shout out to Mr P who can’t be there but who is always in my heart

Next Wednesday is the third Meagre Offerings night, a collaboration started as a drunken musing by @opal_iris and I, now fully fledged and writhing! Here are the details: The Lubber Fiend is proud to present its “Meagre Offerings”. A free, social event for the avant-postured, those whom exist recoiled and hunched in their opposition to mundanity, or possibly in awe of its simplicity. A small showcase of experimental musicians will take to the abattoir floor in an intimate candlelit setting beneath a series of carefully curated projections. The spirit of the evening walks the line between speakeasy and basement clangour, almost secret but open to all. Those that are wanting to try something new should be aware that performances will be followed by an open floor group improvisation where anyone in attendance is permitted to join. The line-up on the 29th of April will consist of performances by Elsmer (@jclay_97 @gwillyedmondez @annamheslop @themanwhowasthursday and myself), Robber's Dog (@sam_d_booth & @raw_dog_24 !) and @iriscasling performing a rare solo improvisation.

“What filth, what sweat, how good it is to wallow like a pig in this acidic liquid.” STNT “A very good album with more depth than it lets on.” The Quietus “The Shits don’t do things by halves.” Outsideleft” Slams you in the solar plexus and never lets up” The Vinyl District “Nothing short of magnificent.” Aural Aggravation - The Shits new album ‘Diet Of Worms’ is unleashed onto the world today. It is available to preorder now on clear vinyl (ltd to 120 copies) via rocketrecordings.com – you can also pick-up a black vinyl (ltd to 280 copies) via all decent record shops. And like all Rocket releases, a Bandcamp download code is also included. - Catch the bands infamous live assault here: 09 Apr / UK / Leeds / Brudenell Social Club 16 Apr / BE / Brussels / Magasin 4 17 Apr / FR / Besancon / Les Passagers Du Zinc 18 April / FR / St Etienne / La Gueule Noire 19 Apr / CH / Geneva / L’ecurie 20 Apr / FR / Grenoble / Skatepark Sous Le Pont 22 Apr / FR / Toulouse / Le Ravelin 23 Apr / FR / Clermont-Ferrand / Fermenté.e 24 Apr / FR / Nantes / Blockhaus DY10 25 Apr / FR / Paris/Montreuil / Le Chinois 12 Jun / NO / Oslo / Hærverk i Parke 17-20 Sep / UK / Newcastle / The Lubber Fiend 26 Sep / UK / London / The Windmill

Ce sextet britanique propose un mélange singulier de Punk menaçant, de Noise abrasive et de Rock Psychédélique en décente de drogue, qu'ils résument sous le sobriquet de "Scum Rock". Le groupe à notamment joué au Roadburn en 2023 et au Supersonic Festival de Birmingham en 2024. Ils viendront défendre leur nouvel opus "Diet of Worms" qui sortira le 3 avril prochain sur le label Rocket Recordings (Gnod, Goat, Pigsx7, Shit & Shine, etc.).

Something brewing at @thelubberfiend

As announced previously, The Shits return with their first new music since 2023’s ‘You’re A Mess’. ‘Diet Of Worms’ – the band’s second album for Rocket will be unleashed on to the world on 3 April. Watch the video which was made by @lufckuster for ‘Thank You For Being A Friend’, the second track to be released from the album. - ‘Diet Of Worms’ is available to preorder now on clear vinyl (ltd to 120 copies) via rocketrecordings.com – you can also pick-up a black vinyl (ltd to 280 copies) via all decent record shops. - ‘Diet Of Worms’, is a feast for the senses in the worst way possible - primal rock boiled down to its essence and flung full in your face. Using repetition, tortured vocal invective and heads-down intensity as blunt instruments, these eight tracks are an unprecedented torrent of acidic salvation. Whilst lurking somewhere on the decadence-destruction axis between the nihilism of prime Stooges and the bloody blackout of Brainbombs, ‘Diet Of Worms’ is possessed of a legitimately uncompromising hostility that both elevates and debases it to co-ordinates unknown.

The latest edition of our lubber fiend show for @slacksradio is up for a replay. This month our guest from the great ship lubber was our baker Duncan. We shared some music, stories and another truly knee slapping moment from our mystery caller.

Tonight! Come and have a few pints and support the venue.
