Description

August's Fuzz Bat show sees a return to Cowgate and Sneaky Pete's for a fantastic double bill of Shuffly moon rock spider jams from Shinlifter and Sophisti Skronk/Fuzzy Indie Rock from The Chunks. The bands will be playing a handful of shows together that week as part of a Summer tour.

Running order will be announced on the day of the gig.

Shinlifter were formed in late 2023 in Edinburgh, Scotland, by immigrant settlers from
England, Ireland and Bathgate. They are the world?s first budgetgroup (like a supergroup but cheaper and held together with duct tape) because they?ve all played in other bands (Nice Church, Unwave, Those Unfortunates) and vocalist Olivia Furey?s set at Tectonics Festival has been on BBC Radio 3 once (her performance has been described by musicologist, Adrian Habgood Rose, as "excrement in sound form").

Their debut double A-side, Percolator/Nandos (out now on PX4M), highlights the band?s strengths: hypnotic drumming bolted to vocalist Furey's stream-of-consciousness collages of mundanity and guitar freak-outs.

The Chunks are an indie rock band based in Edinburgh. Fuzzy and skronky sounds do the tango with pop melodies and syncopated grooves. Psychedelic breakdowns meet catchy choruses which turn into prog inspired solos. Unique and playful bass guitar is woven with intricate drum beats, and cut through by hard hitting vocals and a myriad of synth textures. The Chunks deliver humble, high energy sets with passion and a party atmosphere.

The band's most recent release 'Digital Dust' is out now on Fuzz Bat Records and sees the group continue to push their sound with some of their most Chunky moments yet, with strong melodic hooks throughout.

Doors at 7:30pm

Description

We’re a 100 capacity venue on Edinburgh’s Cowgate. We are open and busy every night for clubs and live shows.

Many gig shows are 14+ and have a 10pm curfew. Those aged 14-17 must be accompanied by an adult. Check ticketing for shows to be sure of the age restrictions that night.

Club nights are all 18+ and start at 11pm.

Sneaky Pete’s is a Grassroots Music Venue for music fans of all identities across gender, disability and race. We welcome open minds with open ears.

We are an active member of the Music Venues Alliance, and believe we have a role in safeguarding the future of music in Edinburgh and around the UK as well.

There is one step up at the front door, for which we can provide a ramp. Thereafter the venue is on one level all the way to the stage.

The venue is small and gets crowded. We don’t have specific viewing platforms or areas. If you’d like us to provide a seat we can do this, and we ask that you please arrive early enough to ensure that we can locate a seat close to the stage so your view isn’t impaired.

We don’t have widened toilets. The nearest accessible toilet is at The Three Sisters, 50 yards further down Cowgate.
