Don’t get me wrong with institutes like Sofar Sounds it’s not unheard of, but fair play to music promotors in the likes of Swindon - it’s a small town in terms of music venues, so it’s prompting a change in resources.
Saturday July 28 will see one of Swindon’s longest running art institutes, Artsite, turn gig venue for the evening. I’m intrigued - the space itself is modest but versatile, and in this respect perfect for the influx of “audio-insanity” which is about to rain down on it.

Organiser Charlie Miles explained: “5-person Nu-Wave Post-Punk party Damn Teeth are heading to Swindon and setting up in what is usually an art gallery with local melon-twisters, SexJazz for some good ‘ol fashioned audio-insanity.
“Also on the bill is the unfortunately-titled Shit Creek, alledging to bring some temperance to the evening, albeit of the semi-improvised psychedelic variety. Come dance and/or stare in “entranced confusion.”
