• Hooligan Night – An electronic punk pop outfit fronted behind the apocalyptic pin up Ruby Blues
• Fromage En Feu – High octane klezmer and gypsy street party sounds, soulful waltzes, fiery tangos and oompah mayhem.
• Keda Breeze – Power tool princess and international showgirl
• Poppy Von Tarte and Manson – Compere extraordinaire and her eight foot boa constrictor
• Captain Grimace – Winner of the Vibraphonic Poetry Slam 2009
• Pearl Boheme and Natty Bom Batty – Belly dance hip hop fusion

Hooligan Night

An electronic punk pop outfit fronted behind the apocalyptic pin up Ruby Blues, the woman behind the cult sensation Glastonbury’s Trash City and the recent hit Trash City show at The Camden Roundhouse.

Ruby’s towering stage-presence, honed by 5 years as an acclaimed performer on the London underground art/neo cabaret scene, has led to comparisons to the likes of Siouxie Sioux, Debbie Harry and Karen O, making Hooligan Night one of the most exciting female-fronted bands to emerge from the UK in recent memory. Expect a red hot performative stage show!

Ruby Blues joins the ranks of legendary front women: she sets the stage on fire before she’s even started to sing.
