Daytime 2pm-7pm (Free entry) Evening 8pm-2am (£8 entry)

As part of the Stourbridge Music Festival 'One Heart One Way', Claptrap invite you to Kill Your Television as we present an all-dayer, showcasing fabulous Netflix-slaying music from 5 current pioneers of the Stourbridge live music scene!

The evening event is ticketed (£8) and features the return of the marvelous LEFT HAND MAN, and their 100% original recipe finger-lickin' indie rock, funk n' blues goodness!
The band are followed by ex-JB's DJ Justin aka 'The Dude from JB's', who is tying our event in with the Stourbridge Town Hall appearance of Ned's Atomic Dustbin nicely with a set of Grebo, Shoegaze and baggy bangers through til 2am!

This ticket is technically needed for the evening event ONLY - because....wait for it.... The daytime event is FREE!?
Why?!
Because we want to encourage the good people of the parish (and beyond) to come and check out some new sounds!
The scene is as vibrant as it has ever been and we have some of the very best bands around to come and play a set for you!
Our evening gigs here are always paid entry so (kind of) understand if some folks don't want to take a gamble on the unknown, so we're presenting the afternoon gig FREE to make the decision to go out that little bit easier.
Hey, perhaps you're in town for the record fair, or one of the other evening events and fancy an afternoon of live music. Come on down!
You're welcome to bring food up during the avo, if you want to grab a Mr Souvlaki or Romino's. Make a day of it like.

Daytime Event: Free entry. Doors 2pm. Live music from 2:30pm-7pm.
Featuring live sets from: Vanilla Pods, Shotgun Marmalade, Supersonic Fuzz Gun & Kid Charlemagne.
(running order may not be announced because it's more fun that way!)
These are the nicest bands in the business. We would happily go on a city break with any of them.
Your bands are:
Vanilla Pods: Powerpuff Girls, indie style, wielding guitars to fight the evil that is...boredome! Na-na-na-na-na!
Shotgun Marmalade: Ska Punks - kinda Clash-y, Ruts-y. Guinness-y?!
Supersonic Fuzz Gun: Super-cool, lo-fi, suede-esque scuzzy fuzzy indie rock.
Kid Charlemagne: Jazz meets funk meets rock. It's suave, it's groovy, it's fearlessly funky. Niiiice.

Description

We really really like music. We like putting on music events. We also really really like really nice people so we opened an independent venue to give a home to good live music and generally lovely folk. We span many genres. All of them in fact - at least we’re trying to - yes, even Jazz!

We’re friendly, cosy, alternative and intimate. We are a music venue for musicians.
We also do poetry nights, quizzes...you get the gist.

We much prefer original bands. We don’t mind a few covers thrown in but unless you’re offering something quite bonkers & original then it’s generally a no for covers.

Claptrap is 1st floor venue & bar, catering for live music, entertainment, theatre, poetry, quizzes & jazz. (Occasionally hired for private functions).

Not your usual venue - it has Chesterfield sofas, wingback chairs and frilly lampshades aplenty!

An extensive range of bottled and canned craft beers are available incl. Kona, Mongozo, Beavertown, Dark Arts, Siren, Wild Beer Co.

On draught - Freedom 4 Lager, Freedom Pale Ale, Thatchers Old Rascal Cider.
