THE PAD, ROAR CLUB & CLUB BISCUIT PRESENTS… BO NINGEN + Ice, Sea, Dead People + Broken DC
3 promoters are joining forces for one night only, to bring you one of the finest, most exciting and damn right strange new guitar bands in the world – the truly amazing BO NINGEN.
From the heart of Tokyo to a village in the mountains, Bo Ningen are four skinny Japanese guys based in London calling themselves ‘enlightenment activists from far east psychedelic underground’. Their first gig was in 2008.
Since then they have played the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Italy, Austria, Finland and Japan. Their shows have also been part of art and fashion events including the Frieze Art Fair, Venice Biennale, The Dazed TV special filmed by Rankin and the V&A. They were also specially commissioned by The Brancharge Festival to perform with the animation Cat Soup in London and Jersey and the band have recently collaborated with the band of the moment, Savages.
As if beamed down from 1970, Bo Ningen’s free spirit and incendiary live psych-outs remind you what watching a rock’n’roll band should be about.
‘Bo Ningen sound like their absolute lives depend on their crowd having the best possible time – and having seen them in the flesh (and hair, all over the place), it’s an emphatic yes from the other side of the barrier’ – BBC
Bo Ningen say ‘Being psychedelic means to stand quietly / loudly in the middle of interzone and stare at both sides at once’.
Witness the spectacular.

Support comes from the mighty ICE SEA DEAD PEOPLE.
Sick of rock music that isn’t and citing inspiration from their heroes: Fugazi, Brainiac and Ex Models, these four geeky child-men have proved their worth through relentless touring and with their renewed statement of intent: ‘If It’s Broken, Break It More’ — also the title of the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut album which has seen them being further credited by mainstream rock press.

Opening the proceeding and completing a pretty exceptional line up will be the Sonic Youth meets Mogwai stylings of London’s Broken DC.
