THEE greatest ever (virtual) garage punk festival is happening at The Garage in Highbury on Saturday 13 Jul 2024!
Separate entries, but lunchtime with Chinese Junk, Control Freaks, and Zodiac Killers upstairs...then The Gories downstairs plus support!
The Zodiac Killers: 1999 - 2005:
The Zodiac Killers were a band from San Francisco and was the brainchild and 4th band of Greg Lowery, the guy who formed such legendary bands as: Supercharger, The Rip Offs, The Infections, The Zodiac Killers, and The Control Freaks. With 4 LPs under their belt, they are getting together for the first time in 12 years for the sole purpose of playing the UK! Finally someone cares about us!
Playing fast, catchy, fun, yet gritty punk rock, The Zodiac Killers boast a wild show boasting 3 lead vocalists. The Zodiac Killers also feature one of the greatest drummers in garage punk rock, Matt K. Shrugg. A total animal on the kit, most drummers after seeing Matt drum want to sell their drumkit, and take up painting. Zodiac Killers has always been considered a great live band, and now you can see why for yourselves. This lineup also features Jami Wolf, the original female guitarist of the Zodiac Killers, and Jeremy Tuman the lead guitar shredder with great punk rock chops and incredible vocals. Of course it also features Greg Lowery on bass/vocals, once again the Zodiac Killers have incredible songs, and Greg has always said this was his favourite band out of all the bands he has created. So don’t miss these guys/gal on a very rare reunion mini tour of England and Scotland.
The Control Freaks - 2017 - infinity:
The Control Freaks are Greg's latest explosion! Released on the legendary Slovenly Records and our own little Dirty Water Records, it's among Greg's greatest work; just ask him! They slaughtered Europe recently with The Rip-Offs at Funtastic and more, now we have them in the UK! Mwa hahahaha.
Chinese Junk - 1975 Queens:
The Kings of Pound Shop Rock! These guys put the "Ramones" in Ramonescore. Loud, fast, and just dumb enough (smart dumb, not dumb dumb, by the way!)! They cut their teeth as the Griswalds, but are back, bigger and better than ever on Black Wax Noise Division, Big Neck Records and Dirty Water Records soon!
DJ Hey Paula is in the decks!
