MUSIC .......................... Ben Bailey rounds up the local music scene HATFUL OF RAIN Fri 13, The Old Market, 7.45pm, £12 A military blunder in 1916 saw the loss of over 1,500 men from Sussex, an event euphemistically called the Battle of the Boar’s Head. This forgotten disaster inspired Hatful of Rain’s new song Devil’s Dyke, which contrasts the local landmark with another dyke in no man’s land in which many of the men were trapped. ‘Wearing blood and mud and khaki,’ sings Chloe Overton with more than a hint of reproach, they were ‘smashed to paste beneath German guns.’ The song appears on the Brighton folk band’s third album, Songs of the Lost and Found, released at the start of July. Elsewhere on the album Chloe’s fine voice leads banjo ballads and assorted country ditties, all artfully backed by fiddle, mandolin, guitar and bass. The band are playing Brighton this month as part of a nine-date UK tour. ANIMAL HOUSE Fri 20, Green Door Store, 7pm, £5 You’ve got to admire the ambition of a band who move to the other side of the world to pursue their music. Animal House relocated from Brisbane to Brighton about five years ago and found themselves working in crappy jobs living on a diet of baked beans. Luckily for us, the sunny disposition of these five Aussie lads hasn’t been washed out by the English weather. Their music is immediately catchy, decidedly upbeat and full of knowing goofiness, which often bleeds over into daft stage costumes. Inspired in no small part by noughties indie rock, Animal House at times manage to sound like The Strokes minus the studied sense of cool. There’s also a 60s surf rock vibe to the band’s sound, perhaps a vestige of their carefree days Down Under. GREAT PAGANS Fri 27, Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar, 7.30pm, £5/3.50 Given that the band was originally named after Dante’s Inferno, it seems suitably grandiose that Great Pagans returned from a hiatus this summer with a new single called Renaissance. As a co-founder of Brighton’s Anti-Ghost Moon Ray collective, Alex Painter formed the band in 2012 and released a lush break-up album a couple of years later. His latest offering sounds somehow more hopeful, despite lyrics about watching the world crumble. Combining a kind of dream-pop aesthetic with the ‘comforting melancholy’ of jangly 80s indie, Great Pagans manage to pack some real emotional heft under the hood of their mid-tempo synth songs. Imagine a David Lynch soundtrack with David Byrne’s pop nous. Support comes from Allison’s Gate and JPWR. ARTS AND MUSIC ALL-DAYER Sun 29, Pipeline, 3pm, £7/5 The Pipeline on Little East Street has picked up from where its previous incarnation Northern Lights left off, hosting intimate upstairs gigs and quirky art events. This one is organised by Half Melted Brain and it promises to be a ‘creative hub’ with projections, a shared canvas and lots of doodling. There’s also a total of eight bands on the bill, most of them from around these parts. Starting with T House, the afternoon’s entertainment continues with Frank & Beans, Smoking Room and Rokurokubi. Dreamweaver and Sun Scream kick off the evening, while the headline slots go to accordion-powered psyche punks Dog of Man and Ezekiel Doo, who describe themselves as ‘pioneers of ritualised sleaze’. Who could ask for more? ....41....
