HERMAN DUNE AND ROYAL CITY

(Sat 26th / 8pm / £5)

It is really great to say that Herman Dune are returning to the Cube for a night of music that will be hard to match... Herman Dune have a clear antecedent, coming from classic outsider country troupe the Palace Brothers : the Dune brothers' voices are so similar - one enigmatic and cracked, one hillbilly-high. But the likes of "Sunny Sunny Cold Cold Day" have a strange magic all of their own, a commune of voices rising in baying chorus to toast these brittle hymns to melancholy.

Royal City provide support with songs from last year's release "Alone at the Microphone (Rough Trade)". Only the 2nd Candian band to sign with Rough Trade there songs are a moving look at both life and death.

AND unlike some events this summer weekend tickets can be purchased from the normal outlets, including Imperial Music, Bristol Tickets, and The Cube. NO you don't have to stay up all night hoping that at some point you might be able to log on the the website!!!!!!!

Plus Cube DJ's in the Bar and a garden of summer delights.
