Malice in The Underground

The Underground · Bournemouth

MALICE IN THE UNDERGROUND Alice’s Wicked Tea Party is crawling out from beneath the Rabbit Hole and heading into the darker end of the night. Introducing Malice In The Underground — a new bi-monthly club night for the beautifully broken, the night creatures, the misfits and anyone who has ever looked at normality and thought, “Nah, fuck that.” 24 October we kick things off at: The Underground, Boscombe, Bournemouth Leading the first descent into the madness: BLACK BORDELLOS SPECIAL GUEST — TBA And trust me… you’ll want to wait for this one. Then the live wires get pulled from the wall and the DJs take over, hammering out Alt Rock, Post-Punk, Goth, Darkwave, Industrial Rock and all manner of beautifully fucked-up noise until the sensible people have gone home. Dress to impress. Dress to express. Dress like you finally stopped pretending to be normal. Come down the stairs. Leave the daylight behind. Let the freak flag fly. Because sometimes the safest place to be is somewhere wonderfully fucking wrong. MALICE IN THE UNDERGROUND 24 OCTOBER — THE UNDERGROUND, BOSCOMBE, BOURNEMOUTH The Rabbit Hole just got darker

Bomo Folk Club Presents The Lost Trades

The Underground · Bournemouth

The Lost Trades are a Folk/Americana Trio, based in the West Country, with a cool Laurel Canyon vibe. With a sound that is reminiscent of the California folk scene of the late 60s/early 70s, their three part harmonies have been described as "flawless", "spine tingling" and "magical". After a global pandemic cut short their first tour after just a single sold out gig, the band retreated to their songwriting rooms to work on their debut album, "The Bird, The Book & The Barrel". The album was released in June 2021 and was well received, spending 8 months in the Official UK Folk Albums Chart. The follow up, "Petrichor" was released in March 2023, and immediately followed suit, entering the chart at #31. A live performance involves easy interchanging of instruments, including guitar, ukulele, bass and percussion at different points. There's always a fun intimacy to the show, with the group engaging in comfortable repartee with each other and the audience like a group of old friends.

More Bands to be confirmed Once the amps are cooling and the live wires have been pulled from the wall, our DJs take control, unleashing a relentless soundtrack of: Alt Rock • Post-Punk • Goth • Darkwave • Industrial Rock ...and every other...

Chimer

The Underground · Bournemouth

Emerging from the coastal gloom of Hastings, CHIMER bring a ferocious collision of dark alternative rock, post-punk, art-punk and 90s rave energy. Think towering guitar feedback, snarling vocals, pounding rhythms and a wall-of-sound live show that refuses to sit still. There's something beautifully chaotic about what they do — part rock'n'roll, part dystopian meltdown, part illegal rave at 2am. GET #5 is not going to be quiet. £12 advance | £15 on the door The Underground, 558–560 Christchurch Road, Boscombe

Be N!ce

The Underground · Bournemouth

London's BE N!CE describe themselves as freak punk — and frankly, we're not going to argue. Expect punk energy with a wonderfully skewed sense of humour, attitude and chaos. This is music that doesn't appear to have received the memo about behaving itself. Sharp, scrappy and gloriously unpredictable, BE N!CE are exactly the sort of band GET was built to put in a small room. Come curious. Leave slightly unhinged. £12 advance | £15 on the door The Underground, 558–560 Christchurch Road, Boscombe

Shaemless

The Underground · Bournemouth

Straight out of Nijmegen in the Netherlands, SHAEMLESS deal in raw, noisy post-punk with a healthy dose of garage-rock grit. Dark, urgent, melodic when it wants to be and absolutely ferocious when it doesn't, their sound draws on the likes of The Birthday Party and The Jesus Lizard while retaining its own seriously energetic identity. Think dirty guitars, driving rhythms and 200% commitment. This one could get messy. £12 advance | £15 on the door The Underground, 558–560 Christchurch Road, Boscombe
