Nine-piece psych-rock heroes Avant Gardeners play their first show in the famous Format basement. Supported by car-crash 80s power-pop supergroup The Crying Game (featuring members of No Through Road, The Central Deli Band, Aviator Lane and Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!), lo-fi teen heart-throbs Fake Tan and Batrider singer and guitarist Sarah Chadwick. The filthy icing on the cake will be the crazed, alco-pop-fuelled genius that is DJ SEX PEST. Everyone at this party is GUARANTEED to get laid.
