Three explosive bands. One intimate room. A night of punk grit, alternative chaos, and high-energy originals — followed by a karaoke after-party where the crowd takes over the mic.

London punk veterans Healthy Junkies bring their fierce, theatrical, glam-grunge-punk manifesto to TAM.

Formed in 2009 by French-born vocalist Nina Courson and guitarist Phil Honey-Jones, the band blends punk, grunge, psychedelic rock, garage, goth, and new wave into a sound that’s raw, melodic, and unapologetically defiant.

With albums Sick Note (2011), Box of Chaos (2016), and their latest release Listen to the Mad (2025), Healthy Junkies remain a vital force in the UK underground.

Self-proclaimed “Schizo-Alt” band Blueshift have been steadily climbing the Herts & London circuit since forming in 2022.

Built around Kuba “Mat” Krzysciak and Brandon Pearson, with Tadhg Kelleher on bass, their live sets flip between hook-driven indie rock and full-throttle punk — often within the same song.

Currently celebrating the release of debut single “Mind of Mine”, with more new music and an EP on the way.

Rising Essex band The White Gates deliver a high-energy rock/pop show packed with original songs and standout performances.

Formed in summer 2022, the band features:

• Jessica Richardson – vocals
• Ryan Heather – bass guitar & keys
• Oscar Ball – lead & rhythm guitar
• Tyla Brooks – drums

Influenced by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Paramore, they’re currently recording their first releases while building momentum across London and Essex.

When the bands finish, the night doesn’t stop. Stick around for our karaoke after-party, open to all ticket holders.
From guilty pleasures to full-throttle rock anthems — come sing, shout, or just cheer from the bar.

Great food is available from the independent traders at Mercato Metropolitano, just outside our doors — arrive early, eat well, and settle in for the night.

🍺 All drinks are served from the TAM bar inside the venue.

This bar isn’t just a place to grab a drink — it’s how we fund the music, sound engineers, and the people who keep the show running.

We kindly ask that drinks purchased elsewhere in Mercato aren’t brought into the venue.
If outside drinks are brought in, there’s a £5 per drink charge — not as a penalty, but to help us keep things fair and support what we do.

💛 Every drink you buy at TAM supports live music, local talent, and the community that makes this space so special.
