The Go! Club presents The Funhouse Robots + Panda Pop Culture + Golf Sale
The Funhouse Robots:
The Funhouse Robots want to entertain. The Funhouse Robots play short (most of the time), catchy rock n roll punk songs, about a world of sci-fi glam, along with several truly unique and disturbingly inspirational covers. Any deep meaning to their lyrics is entirely accidental. Their secret is not to ruin a good song by trampling it to death with their egos. Performances are exhausting for the band, but exhilarating for the audience! Well, worth going to see at the least. Their biggest accolade is being the band that other bands want to be (or at least that’s what they tell them)! A bit of history; the band rose as the phoenix from the ashes and embers of Fantastics, a quite similar rock n roll space punk band who played in the Birmingham area a few years ago. Mark (vocals and guitar) and George (bass) spent several years attempting to form a new band after the demise of Fantastics, before finally putting up a scrap of paper towards the end of 2006 in a local studio requesting musicians. They had toyed with the idea of putting a request on the web, but wisely realised this would only delay their efforts by at least another couple of years. They soon had a response from Chris the drummer. Very fortuitously, Chris knew all of The Fun House Robots’ material, as they would be playing the same stuff that Fantastics used to play, and Chris was Fantastics old drummer. Chris’s contact was soon followed up by a call from new boy, Nigel (guitarist), who liked the CD he was sent more than just a little bit, thus injecting the new band with the enthusiasm needed to make it happen. With the players in place, let the performances begin.
Panda Pop Culture:
Formed in mid July 07’ and give and take a few members we are simply four friends intent on writing melodies and telling tales from a bedroom hidden away in sleepy Sutton Coldfield. Our songs are recorded with a 16 track recorder and, where “LIVE” we have basically used one microphone from outside the bedroom (low-fi but quick). We are looking to do proper recordings of our better songs as soon as our A-levels die down but for the mean time here we are.
Venue: The Old Wharf, Oxford Street, Digbeth, B5 5NR
Time: 8pm
Cost: £FREE

Galleon Ryders:
Galleon Ryders are a band with the focus and determination to strive forewards making the music they love to write and perform. Based near Birmingham, Danny, Jason, Dave and Luke managed to start playing music together as a four piece around summer 2007 after originally meeting each other at a local music festival and have since started to turn a fair few heads in this crazy industry. With explosive guitars, thunderous drums and melodies that will keep you endlessly hummimg along, the band continue to strive forward in meeting new people and making friends with the other bands along the way. 2008 is an exciting year for Galleon Ryders and have recently been a featured band on Clint Boon's XFM exposed show!

Robot vs Dinosaur:
“So, it's the summer, the sun's shining, and seemingly every electronic act in the country's currently on holiday! Consequently, we're fucking off live stuff this month in favour of a free entry DJ party.
Taking place at Island Bar on Friday 18th July, our crack team of DJs will be playing chart-topping '90s indie anthems from the likes of aphex twin, autechre, battles, boards of canada, the books, broadcast, cylob, the flashbulb, four tet, germlin, holy fuck, hood, kid 606, matmos, max tundra, mouse on mars, polysics, the postal service, prefuse 73, squarepusher, stereolab, amon tobin, tortoise, venetian snares, luke vibert, xiu xiu, susumu yokota and whatever else we might have lurking about in our record collections. We'd also like to know what you've got lurking about in your collections too, and what you might like played on the night- drop us a comment if you have any requests, either below or via our proper website which can be found at http://www.robotvsdinosaur.co.uk/. ”
