KICKBACK: Humdrum Express + CHOKED (16+)
January 31 @ 8:00 PM
Kickback nights at Oscars are all about sharing the original musical talent we have on our doorstep and having a damn good time doing it. Lockdown gave a stark insight into life without that fundamental, communal experience of enjoying live music. We promised ourselves we’d do something to inject some excitement into the nightlife of our town. Well, this is it – Kickback brings Friday nights designed to jump-start our weekends with a diverse range of artists who are itching to share the joy and energy of their music.
Humdrum Express
“Brilliant, observationally… part of me just wants to stand up and applaud” – Steve Lamacq
Regularly championed by BBC 6 Music and ‘famed’ for withering critique, The Humdrum Express breezily deliver offbeat observation, social commentary and sharp wit; fused with familiar cultural references, surreal characters and subtle puns. Full band Humdrum shows are an eclectic blend of exhilarating indie/punk clatter and joyful, sardonic cheer.
Ian Passey – Vocals
Carl Bayliss – Drums
Andrew Boswell – Bass
Brendan Moran – Guitar
Rich Payne – Guitar
Following the success of their ep, Bloodsport, they released their self-titled album in early 2023, which forges intricate guitar and bass rhythms with heavyweight environmental and socially conscious lyrics.
Last year saw Choked busy playing at Rebellion Fest, Going Feral Fest, and supporting 999 and XSLF, to name just a few gigs!
2024 is set to be even busier and just as much fun!
Choked’s self-titled album is available to download on all good streaming platforms via:
