Post Rock, Alt, Electronica



Robot Professor Promotions presents MaybeSheWill + WorriedAboutSatan + Inertia Blooms + Cellar Doors.

Robot Professor Promotions are two blokes called Dave who put on the best unsigned post-rock/alternative/electronic bands they can find.

RPP are simply all about the music. We want to put shows on where fans can come together and enjoy the delights of what is often a neglected genre.

They aim not only to promote local talent, but also touring bands from around the country, who share the same passion for post/alternative rock as they do.

‘Cellardoor kick out a volatile mix of fluid, danceable post-rock and reverb-drenched, hammering riffs. The Birmingham based three-piece draw on influences as disparate as Battles and Russian Circles whilst honing a distinctive, uncompromising sound all of their own.’

Venue: Concrete (The Old Boiler Room),The Big Peg, 120 Vyse Street, Jewellery Qtr
Time: 8pm doors
Cost: £4
