This month’s Adventures In Pop welcomes Son of Ugly, a cinematic, genre-fluid, instrumental 5-piece band based from Brighton.
Expect a dramatic, theatrical blend of film soundtracks, B-movie sci-fi, horror, surf/spy rock, swing jazz, and heavy rock.
Support comes from house bands – The Barbarian Horde (the Squeeze of Hastings) and Montague Armstrong Rippengal (Anglo-Latvian electro-folk)
About AiP
The brainchild of Montague Armstrong Rippengal and The Barbarian Horde, Adventures in Pop (AiP) is a free-entry monthly music night. Taking place at the Jenny on the first Tuesday of every month from 8pm, it showcases local original music, featuring a mix of guest acts and resident house bands.
The night is curated and hosted by local Hastings acts Montague Armstrong Rippengal (MARS) and The Barbarian Horde and offers a vibrant, community-focused atmosphere where you can discover everything from punk pop and psychedelic surf rock to experimental acoustic sets
FREE ENTRY – but as always, contributions for the performers are encouraged and welcome via the Jenny ‘gig jug’ 🙂
