And at their next gig they are launching their new EP, Lucidity, the debut release on Portsmouth-based label Brutalist Records.
Formed in 2016 from current and ex-members of Deluxe Flamingos & Attack! Vipers!, Horseflies are a behemoth spouting intricately articulated, furious aural storms to shake your hips to. They are joined by east London desert rockers The Howlers who have been hotly tipped by BBC Introducing as the south’s response to bands such as The Blinders and Avalanche Party. Also playing are Southsea's own Make Them All Smile, who create raw, affectionate, heartfelt melodies on a platter of distorted nervous energy.
