Their recorded output is does not fully do justice to their warped
sonic wonderland. Best to witness them live as they stumble over the bones of the Cramps, The Fall, Nick Cave and Ivor Cutler with a bottle of cheap cider in hand. This cunning triple bill also feature two other crews of sharp eyed malcontents in My Latest Novel and Odeon Beat Club, making this the perfect spot to work off those pounds accumulated over
the festive period.

REASONS
TO GO SEE
1 They wanna fight the White Stripes People think Jack and Meg invented the duo, but back in l995 Daytonian guitarist Dave Doughman and then drummer Don ihrasher were bashing out visceral two-man rock'n'roll With bite and bile. Doughman recently challenged the White Stripes to a rock tight — two bands. one stage and a Clap-o-meter. No reply yet. 2 They’re an imaginary band Well. they‘re not. but they took their name from a flyer DOughman had designed for an imaginary band. He used to do that sort of thing a lot, apparently. 3 They could be famous if they wanted ‘My mom loves Swearing at Motonsts.‘ says DOughman. “She just thinks I shOuIdn't turn down offers lrom major labels. I don't want to be lICIl or famous. I just want to make records and play shows for a living.‘ 4 Having said that, they’re more famous than the man on the moon Dave Doughman was once standing talking to Neil Armstrong when someone came up and asked. 'Hey aren't you that guy from Swearing At Motorists?’ 5 Free pretzels The band's debut EP was called Tuesday '3 Pretzel Night. To promote it they played their first ever show. On a Tuesday night. With free pretzels. Sadly. this show's on a Monday. (Doug Johnstoneji
