$AU$AGE$ return to Paper Dress for a night brought to you by God Himself!
With continual mental health issues within the music industry, $AU$AGE$ and their good friends, ROMAN, DROOL & BARRY, are here to put on a night in support of this cause with all profits going to the charity Mind.
Alongside the donated entrance fee of £5, on sale they’ll be limited edition screen printed T-shirts and posters of the f**king awesome poster design by artist DAVID SHRIGLEY, who too will be joining the night on the decks, so make sure you bring some cash and snap up some merch!
Info on the night’s entertainment –
$AU$AGE$ – Fronted by Andy Knowles (Franz Ferdinand, Johnny Marr & The Healers, The Fiery Furnaces), $AU$AGE$ are a four piece with clear influences from post-punk, art rock to brit pop.
However, their energetic performances and songs that rarely break 2-minutes soon give an impression that $AU$AGE$ don’t take genres, or anything for that matter, too seriously. Good guys, good music. Who cares? I mean, they called themselves $AU$AGE$.
