Don’t stop indie pop! The Wedding Present will be visiting Oxford’s O2 Academy this coming Saturday (11 December), as part of a tour that sees them performing their legendary Bizarro album in full. That means ‘Brassneck’, ‘Kennedy’ and loads more, so you can party like it’s 1989 all over again.
Supporting will be Trophy Cabinet, now Oxford-based but previously hailing from Birmingham, who’ll be playing their first gig in twenty years. In the late 1980s they were medium-hitters (if that’s a term) on the indie-pop scene, before fading away for a while. The band recently listened to some old rehearsal tapes and decided to kick things off again – so this peachy support slot will see them performing a combination of new and old tunes.
Here’s ‘Kennedy’ from a previous stop on the tour:
