Ponyland are a psychedelic punk, force of nature, a multi-limbed monster of scuzzed-out riffs and thunderous ritualistic grooves. Combining the grinding onslaught of Lightning Bolt, the ecstatic spectacle of Sun Ra and the irreverent spirit of System of a Down, this unhinged, masked menagerie have to be seen to be believed. Intoxicating rhythms meet hook-driven waves of riffage, with ecstatic energy that will make your legs rattle uncontrollably.
Following on from their debut album Mora Mora, this new full length LP HARE BRAINS sees Ponyland embrace a new edge to their visionary soundworld. Keeping the trademark, pulverising double-drumkit engine and fuzz-drenched psychedelic soundscapes, the band have supercharged their songwriting with focused riff-based hooks and driving punk-edged vigour.
Prominent female vocals channel Bikini K*ll and Warpaint, whilst gritty, melted electronics flow around a classic thrashing guitar sound. Hare Brains is a celebration of dysfunction, a call to arms against human apathy, a psychotropic odyssey of eroded power structures, post-apocalyptic landscapes and mutant pigeons.
The anarchic pagan ecology of Ponyland’s vision grabs the listener and catapults them into a visceral now, full of defiant life, movement, and human connection.

Support from Seas of Mirth
Nottingham based Seas Of Mirth are a high-energy genre-swerving festival band with an immersive deep-sea twist. Fronted by the two founding guitarists Al Judders and C Ball Paul, their daringly inventive new album 'Kriller' covers everything from wonky disco funk to psychey prog-folk to worldly dance beats.
On stage, the visual element is full on with UV lights, flamboyant costumes and LED sea creatures on stage and in the crowd... it's one big sensory experience, with a generous spoonful of humour. Having performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, Bearded Theory, Boomtown, Lindisfarne and Solfest in the last few years, the band are passionate about playing to new audiences up and down the country. This is an opportunity that anyone with an adventurous pair of ears simply must take the plunge on...
