Currently on a UK tour, Brighton based hard rockers The Wytches stop off at Swansea for what will be an unmissable night in Sin City!

We strongly recommend you get down for this one (especially as it's being brought you by Swn, who really know what they're doing when they book acts). There'll be traces of psychedelia, surf and a whole lot of loud hard rock.

C-Side is taken from The Wytches second album 'All Your Happy Life' out on Heavenly Recordings on September 30th in the UK/Europe/America.

If that wasn't reason enough to get down to the show, they'll be joined by Welsh rockers The Vega Bodegas & Swansea's very own post punk rockers People and Other Diseases (who played an unforgettable show in the Mission Gallery for the Swansea Fringe Festival 2017).

B-Side to the new single 'Burn Out The Bruise' from the debut album 'Annabel Dream Reader' out on Heavenly Recordings on August 25th 2014 in the UK/Europe. Out on Partisan Records in the USA on the 26th August 2014. UK Pre-Order here: bit.ly/1hIYNDv UK iTunes Pre-Order: bit.ly/1oLsXe8 USA Pre-Order here: bit.ly/1iNdLwh USA iTunes Pre-Order: bit.ly/1jWlOqT Recorded at Toe Rag Studios and co-produced by Kristian Bell and Bill Ryder-Jones, the album will be available on CD, vinyl and digitally.

Originally written by myself, Andrew Plain and Julia Ruzicka, this song was recorded by The Epicdemics. I jammed it with the Vega Bodegas when we first got together and I loved the way we played it. Marc added a G chord to the chorus which made it a bit nastier...he also added a lovely E, F#m, A run for the "we want your body not your mind bit"...and of course the crazy blues licks. (both bands are similar...just a bunch of mates getting together and making catchy music) It was great having Marc singing the first verse and then us all coming together for the chorus. "I would go so far as to say, all you people wouldn't like me anyway"...everyone is in a band these days, and everyone keeps plugging their new stuff saying "this is the best thing we've ever done"...I'm bored of that but I keep saying it too. Seems like a fun way to start a new EP by a new band by already assuming you don't like it. The end of this song was arranged by Andrew Plain. I have a habit of wanting songs to fade out, but Andrew came up with the "where'd all my money, where'd all my money (pause) gooooooo?" bit and it reminds me of a BTEC Beatles. I like that.

Hello!!

Thank you so much for checking out The Swansea Music Hub. We thought it would be a good idea to either introduce ourselves and/or let you know why we have decided to do this!

Simon Parton & Joe Bayliss at the Swansea Fringe Festival 2017

We (Simon & Joe) ran the Swansea Fringe Festival in September 2017 and we were really encouraged to see such a great vibe and energy surrounding the potential that the Swansea music scene has. We didn’t want this energy to disappear and we both feel very passionate about making Swansea’s music scene thrive.

If you don’t already know, we are both musicians who write, perform and teach and we are both incredibly passionate about developing / expanding upon access to music (be it through live gigs, learning and/or promoting it to hard-to-reach audiences).
